I set mine on 73 degrees when I bought it and haven't touched it since.

With respect to the rest of the interior, I love the Recaro seats, the rest is kind of meh. The USB ports in the center console are a PITA. I don't like whatever that stuff is they put on the steering wheel of the 1LE, give me leather. Generally, it's just ok. But, I didn't buy it for the interior, I bought it for the engine, chassis, suspension, etc. Those are all awesome.

I absolutely hated the mustang interior. The plastic silver toggle switches look incredibly cheap. The fake carbon fiber on some of the trims make it look really cheap and overall build quality seemed poor. I found plastic panels you could see tooling marks on. I really like the mustang exterior especially the triple brake lamps/DRL.

I haven't really looked at the challenger interior. I don't like the challenger exterior. I understand why some people do but it's just not my taste.

Same!! The toggle switches annoyed me so much and I don’t know why, it was so cheesy. I love the Mustang style but researching them I just kept getting that vibe that I was reaching and looking at things I know I don’t actually want. The Ford dealership also had like zero options to show though too so I’m sure that didn’t help. I have researched them twice and twice the dealerships had no stock to show me. They had a 2016 and a 2019 that was a special order.

I actually like the challenger interior, it's pretty nice.
Mustang interior sucks.
The Camaro interior is pretty good, very ergonomic for driving position, but not necessarily reaching the window switches, parking brake, etc. No storage.
But as far as "is it a nice place to be?" yes, I really like it. The seats are super comfortable.

I love the interior of my 1LE... the only thing that bugs me is the infotainment screen the angle makes it hard to see and it is too dim at times can't see the artist's name or song...

That is it I test drove the GT350 and the only thing I liked about the inside was the seats...

Every car has pros and cons and lots of reasons listed already go into these rankings plus more. But this is really easy to rank for me.
1. Camaro
2. Challenger
3. Mustang

The Challenger interior is nice and roomy but I prefer the Camaro over the other 2. The 6 gen is a vast improvement over the 5th gen in my opinion too just a little more cramped though. The Recaro seats are really nice in my Z too!

Test drove a SRT 392 Scat Pack T/A a little bit ago. I like the interior and think it's nicely done and tasteful and is a bit retro while still being modern. Nothing glaring stood out, but it lacks the interior lighting the Camaro has and I think that would be a nice addition to the car. Their infotainment system is pretty top notch, being able to bring up gauges, sport modes, etc. Fun as hell to drive too, doesn't feel as 'big' as you would think. Better than the stang for me and that's a fun car to drive too.

I personally lovethe interior. It's simple yet sleek, it's a muscle car it shouldn't be too overwhelming.

Camaro > Challenger > > > > > Mustang.

Camaro - modern, efficient, elegant. Gets a LOT of attention and positive comments at shows.

Challenger - very good for the muscle car that it is, if a bit dated.

Mustang - Way too too much plastichrome. Sorry I don't wan't to drive a child's toy with toggles made by Playskool.

Having driven them all.


I like the "new" Challenger interior, I think it is very modern(/retro) and clean looking. They really stepped up their game over the old one with the white dials.


From a drivers perspective I really like the 5th and the 6th Camaro interior for its cockpit style feeling. One thing I like better on the 5th gen than the 6th gen, is the shape of the A pillars. On the 5th gen I think they have a much more agressive/better-looking curve.


I think the Mustang is the worst of the three, interior wise. The driver mode selection buttons, the start button, the dials (before they went digital) and the steering wheel all looks very "cheap" to me. It's all personal preference, but I think they could have made a better job making it look a higher quality.

Not surprised there's a lot of dislike on here for the Mustang interior- it is the Camaro's biggest rival. To me, my GT Premium interior feels pretty nice. I like the double wing design on the dash. Things are well done, vinyl or soft touch materials in most places with a few spots of hard plastic trim around the screen and door locks which doesn't bother me. The premium plus upgrades some of that to stitched vinyl, like the entire center console and knee bolsters. But I didn't buy my car because of the interior. Although in a comparison I think motor trend said the Mustang interior felt $2k nicer than the Camaro's. But this is one of those things that's totally subjective.

The top of the dashboard is the biggest downfall. It really SHOULD be soft touch material in all trims with the option of being suede covered.
