Need Help On Interior- Limited Edition Luxury Pack

[mickq]

Hey all,

My current T has standard seats and premium stereo.

In looking at the car Im about to order, one option is the

"Limited Edition Luxury Pack".

it contains:

High Series Instrument Panel

XR Finishes and blue illumination

Premium Interior command

Premium Audio

Climate Control

Outside Temp

Analogue clock

XR Sports Leather seats

Anyone have any comments on what these things are like? Aside from the Premium stereo I havent seen any of it.

Also, what are the XR Sports Leather seats like in real life? Do they suck, or are they lots better than the standard ones?

And another question: Leather seats: are they any good compared to standard seats? And how do they compare to the Sports Leather seats?

Ive read past posts on the leather seats, but interested to get answers to my specific questions above.

Also some idea of things like what the hell is Premmium Interior Command, XR finishes and blue illumination, and High Series Instrument Panel?

And last question: Sports Steering wheel...any details on it/photo of it, and is it any good compared to the standard one?

I have no idea!

Any help appreciated.

(Still havent decided on trying something different and getting an XR8 or a second XR6 Turbo quite yet).

Hi Mickq,

The luxury pack is awesome in my opinion. I have it in mine, and love it.

To give you a description, its basically a fairmont ghia in a XR:

1. The seats have soft leather around the edges and the main face of the seat is suede, very comfortable but do hug you in, also the door trims match the colour of the suede.

2. The dash is from the fairmont ghia, but it has the XR logos and the blue illumination.

3. Auto lights on/off, on the indicator lever, there is a auto option, basically on this setting the headlights come on in the dark, then switch off during the day automatically, there is a sensor on the dash which picks up the light.

4. Finally the ICC, this console is from the fairmont ghia, full colour screen, premium sound, dual climate control, and full trip computer. Also all the settings, like temp, fan speed, recyc etc, all buttons.

Very nice. Oh yes lets not forget the clock on the top of dash above the ICC.

Cheers hope this helps

Hey,

I can say I would go for the Luxury Pack if you can afford it, the ICC looks far better in my opinion. And the Sports Steering Wheel seriously rocks! (I uploaded a pic of it for you), but in my opinoin the standard leather seats look better than the sports leather.

Definetly worth the money spent though, it's a nice overall package.

One thing I forgot to add, don't forget that the Mk2 comes with a lot of those things standard such as the headlights on etc, but you can't beat the Premium ICC in the Luxury Pack...see if you can bargain the price.

And the sports wheel feels so beefy and nice to hold.

I have the luxury pack and love it , just did a 1000k trip and the seats where great as was the split system a/c mine on 20 sons side on 23 both comfy. Go for it.

Premium ICC is great, I have it in the Fairmont! Looks a lot nicer then the washing machine nobs on the base dash!

I picked up my T last friday, just did a 600km trip today, and love the seats. Might not look the same as the standard leather, but is very comfy, grips you better, and seems to ventilate air around you - at any rate you don't get the heat build-up you normally get after a few hours in the seat.

Dual ACC is deluxe, and really handy as the War Dept will probably want the temperature 3 degrees hotter than you do. Too Easy - just tick the box.

Before I ordered I had only seen pictures, after getting delivery I am really happy with the package.

The Sports Steering Wheel is another must have, along with premium brakes.

Both my "T's" have had leather and its the first option I wanted. I think it makes the car. I would definately get the premium sound aswell. This is the only option I never had on Boof that I wished I had. The rest sounds great. Most other options you can do latter.

Geea.

I really like it but I hate the fact you can't have the normal leather. I can't get my head around the sports leather

I would only get one if they offered the black leather
