Chrysler Ypsilon

The Ypsilon’s cabin is a triumph of form over function. It certainly looks and feels stylish with its super-soft dashboard and door cappings and – if you bypass the basic S-level model – posh upholstery and bits of leather trim. However, the instruments are in the centre of the dash rather than ahead of the driver, so they’re not easy to see at a glance. And, some important information, such as the display advising you of the best time to change up a gear, is hidden by the steering wheel rim. To make matters worse, the driver’s seat is high-set even in its lowest setting, the steering wheel adjusts only for height, and there’s not a lot of room for the driver’s feet.
