Leather or Vinyl ?

I have the SV w/Sport
Are the door arm rests and surrounding area Leather or Vinyl?
Also curious about the back of the seats
They feel like cheap leather or are they vinyl?

I think it was listed as only the front seat seating areas are coated leather, the rest was "pleather" Plastic leather. LOL

I could be wrong tho....

Yea. Only high-end cars use all leather. Even the C-class, 3 series use "leather trimmed" seats. BMW calls it "leatherette".

BTW, leather ages faster than vinyl.

True. Most are just the seating surfaces that are leather. Porsche offers full leather interior options. I saw a 997 that had a leather dash, center console, seat backs, and leather wrapped speaker grills, dash air vents, pillars, sun visors, and even the piping around the floor mats was leather wrapped, along with the usual stuff like the steering wheel, shifter and parking brake.

Leather conditioner for the seats and steering wheel and Vinyl Protectant for the rest
