Have a set of custom fit on our CX5 since 2012 have worn well, ( ours car was used as the template for this car)
I also have a set of the multi fit on my Prado ( which apparently was the car they used as the test size)
May be a bit dearer than the rest , but Australian made which seems to be desired today.

I must be ‘starting’ to get softer. ;D

+1... bought a set of custom fronts from a local sheepskin place here in mackay for the pajero...

they sold covers from this place, IIRC:

https://prestige-sheepskin.com.au/ (https://prestige-sheepskin.com.au/)

one of the best things i did. we got a 'gold' set and they have been fantastic. these are currently on sale for $240, down from $449

Last set were new when I bought and went on a falcon sedan, after 18 months I decided to sell the falcon and I put the seat covers from the falcon and onto to new car I purchased. After 5 more years I decided to get new ones. Neighbour grabbed my old ones , which were still in reasonable condition and put in his hi-lux. Still look good ..just lost their fluffy look. Straight back to supercheap for a new set. At around the $400 they have lasted over 7 years and have never ripped or torn. Compared to paying double the price for custom sheep skin they are a bargain..

We've had them on most of our cars as well, although I haven't yet put any on the Territory.

I think, though, particularly with 4wd's, that people worry about how dirty they may get :'(
