console - (place where the radio and a/c stuff is...)

Do you like a straight up and down cconsole? (like the levin)

Image

Do you like a slightly sloped console? (like the mr2)

Image

or do you like a really sloped console? (like in the 300Z)

You have WAY too much time on your hands to be thinking about these sorts of things.

I quite like the sloped ones. Things like MR2's make you feel kinda cosey and in a cockpit. The MkIV Supra is especially like that.

Straight up and down, nice and classic dashes are the way to go :)

Doesn't matter to me, as long as the radio and heater controls are easy to reach. ie: Functionality over fashion.

Slightly angled like my car, i find it really sh*t when i drive a car with striaight up and down, i cant reach anything while having my arm resting on the centre console and the gear knob!

The angles usually reflect the drivers expected position when driving.
A slopey dash is going to suck if you wind up cramped by it. A straight up and down one is gonna suck if you have to sit forward to reach stuff.

Kinda a weird question to ask when the angles are usually designed to compliment the way the rest of the cockpit is configured.

I would love a really sloping one (the 300ZX one) but would like it slightly angled towards the driver like some euros are :D Good looking, but also practical.

I like the 'really sloped' interior.... hence looking into buy a big, fat, whale, a 300z.

Got to go with the slightly sloped like in my car.
It's comfy, you don't have to reach for things etc.
