Good, bad, ugly?
I really want an F-Sport, but have come across some anti-NuLuxe comments.
Anyone been able to thoroughly compare the two during real-life use?
I'm concerned for material breathability / sweating.
Maybe someone has a Leather car and has received a NuLuxe loaner during a hot summer day or vice versa?
Thank you.

What percentage tint do you have? I'm thinking to go with a simple / classy 50%. Not much heat protection, but I have it on another vehicle and like the look...

Looks great and doesn't even look like 20's!
Sorry to be off topic, but what are you seeing MPG-wise?
Debating between the 250 and 350, but care about MPG's...

Drive both cars but just on the safe side say you will get 5-10mpg better with the 250 ( like I said some people say they have been getting anywhere from 19-23mpg ) I think you will come to the conclusion the extra power is worth it

What are the negative things about NuLuxe? I haven't been in the loop haha.
My car has been to the California desert 7 times in the past 2 months that I've had the car, no issues so far?
Free way driving, with 1 passenger I average about 28.7mpg, I have 350

Negatives are that it's a synthetic material that doesn't 'breathe' as well as natural leather, such that in heat it may cause you to sweat more than leather, but if what you state is the case, they've probably created a superior material by now. Otherwise, 28.7 MPG in a 350!? Wow.
