Of all the cars I've driven, borrowed, owned or been in, the high point for both ergonomics and to my mind Design/Style is my 2008 Volvo C30. Simple, elegant, stylish, dead easy to use and everything fell to had from the first time I sat in it. Nothing has ever come close. My Boxster on the other hand is a mess. What you can't see in this pic are the cruise control buttons on the left of the steering wheel (missing on this pic) and the ease of use of the column stalks for all functions including menus etc. The layout and spacing of the radio, HVAC etc. controls on the center console are so perfect I never need to look away from the road, everything falls to hand and major knobs/dials are far enough apart that proprioception can find them without looking or grabbing the wrong one. It's now been replaced for DD duty by a V60 Wagon, and while similar in concept, it's no where near as good and lacks the Nordic simplicity that makes the C30 so so good.
