Materials Quality

As was the case with the STS’s build quality, the materials used are not quite up to snuff. On the plus side, there’s soft leather on the fronts of the seats, but the material on the sides feels like pleather. An abundance of rubberized and slightly-padded surfaces coat the cabin, from a spongy dash cap to textured panels on the center console and lower door panels. Indeed, except for the gauge and instrument panels, hard plastic surfaces can be hard to find. However, the oft-touched upper door sills feel like they belong in a Chevy Aveo, and the dated stalk controls are obvious parts-bin finds.
