First let me say, I am HYPER Crytical of interiors now that I have owned a VW. VW/Audi interiors in the past 5-7 years have eclipsed anything out there, AT ANY PRICE POINT.
I will say I too was a LITTLE (little) disappointed in the interior, mostly the dash, and mostly on the passenger side. I think GM could have done things differently (sat in a Malibu the other day, I have been talking this car up, and someone finally bought one - GREAT interior....GREAT), for me I think it is more the shape than the materials, although I feel there is room for improvement on the material side.
I would say the reasons given for switching to the Challenger don't seem to add up. The interior issues...OK I can see that. Gas cap side, I don't get that. One of the first things I noticed about my VW was the tach was on the other side compared to my '99 Z. It was different, but I didn't regret getting the VW. I would say recognize that as a "peeve" and work on letting it go. (its OK I have some of those issues too)
The mirrors....Can I say THANK YOU SCOTT!!!!! I HATE when my wife puts on Make up in the car (one of those "let it go" things. Now she can't do that! Yeah!!!!
Seat thing...meh. it is what it is.
Overall interior...my 99 had t-tops. they leaked, there was a ton of wind noise, the windows pulled out of the seal at 80 (and higher), the seat was flimsy and uncomfortable, the dash didn't fit right, there were gaps all over the place, the GM performance parts shifter I put in the car, would not fit...it broke the console, it squeaked AND rattled....and when that car went away (lease turn in), I teared up. I felt like Apollo 13..."so long Aquarius and we thank you". It was probably the best car I have every owned (desire wise) the VW is the best quality wise.
Buy the Camaro, the Challenger is going to let you down as well - every car does at some point.
You seem thirsty from all that talking... here have a drink....no I'll pour it... now drink it down, yeah that's right. It tastes good doesn't it? That's better.
