The SC1 is low slung, so getting in is a bit like, literally, droppingin. And getting out is something of a climb.
One tester's initial reaction to the interior was "plain, but not

pleasingly subtle. The theme is ovoid shapes and rounded corners, with
a modular center pod for audio and climate controls.
Simplicity is repeated in the instrument cluster which has a speedo,
a tach, a fuel gauge and a temp gauge. Period. We've always held that sporty
cars should have a few extra instruments in keeping with the sports car
heritage. But that means extra cost, so if you want a tachometer you need
the SC2. The steering wheel is adjustable up and down, so what instruments
are there are visible to all.
There is no lidded console, just an open catch-all tray. Two cupholders
sit in front of the shift lever, one with a removable ash tray insert.

shorter occupants may feel a bit deep into the SC1.
We found the seats rather uncomfortable, even on short runs. The bottom
cushion is short front to rear and lacks support for even average-height
