Materials Quality

Generally, the quality of materials is first rate considering its class. There is a lot of hard plastic, but the grain is good and none of it feels thin or cheap. Still, Hyundai manages to get soft-touch plastics in its Elantra; it’d be nice if Toyota could do the same. The cloth on the seat feels durable as does the carpeting. The only cheap bit of trim is the fiber headliner. We don’t expect mesh cloth in this class, but mousefur would be better than this. Overall everything here feels durable, if not luxurious, and on par for the class.
