VW Polo would get my pick for interior quality, I'd say the Jazz is pretty reasonable too.

I'd have to agree the Jazz interior is quite good on the eye, but the dash whilst looking good is rock hard. The steering is computer arcade in feel, quite strange actually and the rear suspension in particular is just too firm with not enough travel. I heard it complaining over speed humps on my test drive with corresponding creaks from the rear. The Fiesta took the same humps without complaint. The Jazz great flexibility especially the magic seats and boot are fantastic. Great fit and finish, much better the Fez, but drivablility was dismal. They are not worth what honda are asking for them, more so now that they are built in thailand.
