Big NuLuxe fan here as well after having real leather in previous cars. I love how easy it is to clean, just a damp microfiber towel is good enough to keep NuLuxe looking pristine. It's great for handling kids' mess too - crayon marks, milk, chocolate, dirty footprints all wipe right off.

No but it was easy to set up a test drive for me. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Even the newer Jaguar leather doesn't seem quite as nice as the old Connally grade....I've reviewed an XJ.

Hmm, I recall that they no longer offer Connolly leather some time in the 2000s (late 2000s? Basically when they moved from Coventry to Solihull). That and lambswool carpet was used in the XJ.

The X Type's standard AWD and interior weren't bad, but, as a whole, it wasn't very impressive by Jaguar standards, being, in effect, a reworked Ford Mondeo. Did you test-drive an X-type? They weren't very well built, and tended to have squeaks and rattles.

I've never taken a Jaguar out for a drive. I'm not their clientele and I don't think they would fancy a person of my status to take their vehicles out (when I still in school).

I too think the NuLuxe is quite good.

Ditto. I have NuLuxe in my IS and nearly two years later, there isn't a crease or any kind of wear whatsoever. Looks like the day I brought it home. Love it!

The NuLuxe that was on the CT I reviewed a while ago was first rate....and some I've looked at since. It's possible that they changed he grade of it in the meantime to cut costs, but I doubt it.

Holy cow, 4 testimonials! Ok, I must take another trip down to the dealership for a closer look!
