Controls and gauges are handy, and big enough to spot easily. The glove compartment is divided horizontally, and each part has its own door. For instance, the knob that controls where the heated or cooled air is directed felt rubbery and resisted attempts to turn it or set it precisely. The four dashboard air vents don't close individually. To block their draft, you must switch off airflow into the car.
Gauges are high atop the center of the dashboard.
And it's supposed to make them a quicker, safer glance than when gauges are in the conventional location just above the steering column. But it seems a novelty, and the eye motion from road to pod never felt natural in a week of driving. Plus, the arrangement recesses the odometer deeply enough that it's tough to read. In the name of simplicity, few gauges are provided. There's no tachometer, a travesty in a car so fun to drive and powered by an engine quick to rev.
