I'd like to know which common car has the best dashboard, new or old. By common I mean a car that doesn't cost a huge amount of money, like an Aston Martin or a Mercedes SLS, but the cars a student can buy.

My favorite is the satellite dash of the first gen brazilian Gol GTI (which is also the dash of my Parati GLS):

You have everything you need there: Speedometer, rev counter, and information lights. The satellite buttons also control eveything, from the hazard lights to low lights, rear window defogger and so on.

For your attention, here are two Gol GTIs

Ford Capri. The car you always promised yourself.

Saab Classic 900. Everything within reach. Things requiring visibility are easily visible. Ignition in the right place.

FR-S/BRZ, centrally located tach, digital speedometer, just wish it had oil pressure and temperature.

I really like the dashboard of my 1998 Subaru Legacy. It feels minimalist and spartan, yet it still has everything I need, and it feels durable because of it.

Generic picture of BG wagon Subaru dashboard - looks very similar to mine except mine is a 5-speed:

Any of the Audi 100/200/Ur-S4/Ur-S6 dashboards. So good looking, and modern even today.
