You're at the other end of the spectrum than I am. If the driving experience is right, everything else disappears. Sadly, I have to commute, so the amenities do come into play, but this car is the plushest I've owned.
I'd gladly trade all the power adjustments on the seats for some weight loss though. I'm the only driver, so three memorized settings is useless to me.

1. Normal daily driving
2. Long distance road trip (I actually sit a slight bit differently)
3. All the way forward and up (use this to clean and vacuum)

The 'quality' of the interior IMO is very good indeed.
Having taken 18 months test driving Porsche, Aston, BMW, Merc AMG etc before also taking the plunge, I feel the best for quality and feel was the Merc, with the Jag falling in at close second.
If you have a keen eye, you might notice some stsictching may not quite line up between panels, i.e door capping and dash board, but it's nothing the dealer cannot tweak, or if you have some plastic trim tools, you can DIY.
Any rate, it all pales into insignificance once you own one and keep going back into the garage to marvel at its' beauty!
I have the suede upper environment, around A pillar and windscreen and Jet (Black) performance seats with red stitching and it looks brilliant in the R convertible, but then, I am biased somewhat ;-)
