I’ve noticed that many car reviewers spend a good amount of time pointing out whether or not they like the texture/feel of materials on the interior of the car. Does the average person actually care about this aspect of their car, or is it just a point of interest for some niche group of car enthusiasts? I’ve driven shitboxes and I’ve driven luxury cars, and I have never cared about or even noticed the feel or quality of the material on the dash and the steering wheel. I guess maybe the steering wheel material could make some people uncomfortable depending on what it’s made of, but come on, the dashboard? Who ever strokes their hand against their dashboard just to feel what the texture is like?
Another one of these posts eh?
“Why do some people care about X when I, the most important person, only care about Y?”
Why do people care about the design of a car? Why do people care how many cup holders there are? Why do people care how it drives?
Because it’s a big fucking purchase and you spend a significant amount of time in it. Most people want it to feel nice. People don’t like spending $50k on a car that feels like a $20k car. It isn’t rocket science dude.
