Ugh ... I hate to ding the car and give a low score, but I went down to a 7 on this category. The interior is mostly great in design and comfort, but the cheap-looking plastic of the dash and door panels led me to give it the lowest mark I've given it in any category. And no, I don't expect it to be wood or carbon fiber or anything exotic ... but they could have made it look a lot better with just a different type of finish. I had a '96 Z3 that had a plastic dash and it looked fine ... a nice-looking satin finish instead of the hard, jagged look on the Sol. Really, that's about the only thing keeping me from giving it a 9 or a 10 in this category.

No, it's not a deal-breaker, but in a car that was made to look good, I think they should have gone with something just a tad nicer instead of something that honestly looks kind of tacky on an otherwise beautiful car. And that's not something which can be easily remedied with aftermarket replacements (without spending a small fortune).
