Default PICS - 2 and half years on (from new).. I agree with you on that.... it's ppl who have...

the standard plastic dark surface, around the gear stick, ash tray and door handles. Can also be seen sometimes on plastic window where the speedo is. These swirl marks show up in the sun big time! The marks caused from cleaning with a standard cloth or very soft tissue (Do I have to use lint free cloth!!?). Tempted to change the trim to aluminium, not much time on my hands right now....

The cloth material on the seat bears the brunt of wear and tear after 2 years and a half years. I clean and use the car carefully.

Sorry, but my other car (Japanese), with stood the elements of time and it's been 7 years! Engine and Interior...

Dispite all this, I still love the car!

Ash Tray cover...faint swirl marks show up clearer in the reflecting sun. (MADE OF PLASTIC)

Seat belt arch... Normal pull to put the seat belt on, pulled lightly. (MADE OF PLASTIC)

Sat Nav... bubble appeared in heat and peeled off.

Seat - Cloth Interior, having to make sure I don't rub against this everytime I enter and exit. I've never had this problem on any car I've had in the past, old or new.
