Interior - What the Auto Press Says

The GT-R's cabin is characterized by superb fit and finish, comfortable front seats, loads of tech features and a surprising amount of cargo room. Where it falls short, however, is in back seat room. Overall, critics are impressed.

• "Nicely detailed interior boasts premium-level materials and exhibits fine assembly quality." -- Consumer Guide
• "Interior quality is quite high, with abundant soft-touch materials and an overall sense of quality construction." -- Edmunds
• "Inside, every GT-R is loaded with leather upholstery, sophisticated instrumentation and buttons and switches everywhere." -- Orlando Sentinel
• "Trim materials are rich without being plush or luxurious. The padded parts look hand-stitched. Front-seat bolsters are leather, insets a faux suede that's the only part that comes up a bit short on presentation. The cabin is trimmed in low-luster, finely grained plastic and satin-finished aluminum. Lower door kick panels are a low-nap fabric. Seams and trim elements fit snugly, with no misalignments or unexpected gaps." -- New Car Test Drive

Seating

The GT-R features front and back seats, but critics find that its cabin only seats two passengers comfortably. The rear seat is better reserved for storage.

• "The cockpit-like interior is generally comfortable and not confining. The tilt and telescopic steering wheel uses a cumbersome two-level manual system for adjustment. Larger drivers will likely find the seat's bolsters mildly constraining." -- Consumer Guide
• "Snug sport bucket seats and a high center console envelop the driver and front passenger, and the rear seats, though dinky, are good enough for kids on short trips. Ingress and egress are a piece of cake by exotic-car standards -- for the front passengers, at least." -- Edmunds
• "While its front quarters are surprisingly roomy, a notable dearth of head and legroom make the GT-R's rear seats best suited to hauling gym bags." -- Kelley Blue Book
• "Usable rear-seat legroom is zero, even with the front seats set for a 5-foot, 4-inch person. They're best considered as absorbent elements in an acoustic chamber for the Premium sound system's two subwoofers." -- New Car Test Drive

Interior Features

Auto writers are impressed with the GT-R's modern tech gadgets -- which include an HDD Music Box System with 30 GB of hard-drive storage, a navigation system, an in-dash Compact Flash card reader, and a 7-inch color-LCD touch-screen Multi-Function trip computer.

• "GT-R's numerous buttons and driver selectable displays will require familiarization, but the basic controls are well marked, easy to reach, and simple enough to use." -- Consumer Guide
• "The GT-R also boasts a trick multifunction performance monitor that features 11 different informational displays. The monitor was developed in consultation with Polyphony Digital, which created the Gran Turismo video game franchise." -- Edmunds
• "[T]he navigation screen can serve as a backup for secondary instruments, showing you the car's water and oil temperatures, speed, racing times and just about anything else you'd like to know. Really, there's more than you can do with it -- but it's fun going through the 11 different screens." -- Detroit News
• "The GT-R comes with every comfort and convenience a driver and passenger need, and most of what a driver and passenger could want." -- New Car Test Drive

Cargo

For a super luxury sports car, the 2010 GT-R provides a surprising amount of cargo room.

• "The trunk is surprisingly large considering the type of car; it measures 8.8 cubic feet." -- Edmunds
• "The GT-R's trunk is of reasonable size and should provide enough room for a weekend's worth of luggage. The trunk lid uses non-intrusive strut-type hinges, and opens to reveal a large portal, but the liftover is very high." -- Consumer Guide
