I'll throw my .02c in...
I'm coming out of a $50k+ M3...so my expectations are high. That being said...my M3 had manual seats and no sunroof. I bought it because it was a sports car and I didn't understand people that cared so much about those things when I went to sell it...but hey...that's just me.
So...regarding the back seat. I need one for my kids. If they complain, I tell them to 'zip it'...but they don't complain...they're small and nimble and can get in and out just fine...life should be a challenge for them at this point.
most of the time they will be getting around in Mom's car anyway, which is a four door sedan (I've never 'understood' why everyone feels like they need to have an SUV). And if I need to cart around 4 or 5 adults...I take the wife's car and she takes mine...no big deal. A back seat that's easier to get in/out of results in different exterior dimensions...a trade I'm not willing to make.
Lighted/mirrors in the visor...well there's a lipstick joke in there somewhere and unless you're Batman's arch enemy I don't think you'll need 'em. Your confidence in yourself should outweigh the need for one last check...and you should have picked your nose before you left the house.
And the 'plastic' feel of the interior...well...I have to agree with you there. It(and the steering wheel) have been my major gripes about the vette for years and what has kept me out of one for the last two gens. I love how people worry so much about the exterior (especially color) when it's something you don't see 95% of the time...maybe it's just me but I spend most of my time driving the car. You spend nearly ALL your time on the inside holding onto the steering wheel and gear shift looking at all the stuff around you. IF the car comes close to the G6 I'll be pleased...that interior really pulled it off well...first GM I'd ever sat in where I couldn't tell I was in a GM.
and finally...chrome around the gauges... The m3 had simple chrome trim around each gauge and it gave it a certain amount of 'polish' the non M car clusters didn't have...and it wasn't distracting at all. The pic below shows it. Also...one of the 'coolest' features of the M's gauges was the rpm lights which you can see in the pic. They would be lit when you started the car, but slowly go out in sequence up the RPM range as the engine came to temp. A nice little reminder to take it easy on the engine until the oil was warmed up and circulating properly.
