Congrats on your '06! I recently traded my '04 for an '06 and I am thrilled as well.

I would say yes the interior is bigger than the HCH I....my Dad still has his '03 as he is still awaiting his '06 in magnetic pearl w/ navi.

I got the tan rubber mats last week and it's definitely a must have since you have a tan interior.

Enjoy the car!
