While the refinement may not be comparable, every single person I've taken out for rip in mine or has checked it out loves the interior. Especially the leather buckets. I've sat in other cars with leather seats, but these ones are by far the best I've tried.

Also, the new dash construction elimates a lot of squeeks and rattles I had in my previous 2000 model. At the moment, the only rattle I'm having is the key fob bouncing off the dash (now that the key goes into the dash instead of the steering column) but that's easily fixed.
