Is there any real leather inside the 86? Or is it all vinyl?

I haven't seen "real leather" inside a car, since my 1979 Lincoln Continental Mark V.

Oh well, there is no real leather inside my 2013 FR-S.

It’s pleather, but the quality is OK. Compared to my wife’s 17 Lexus is300 it sucks. But it’s a Subaru. You should see my 04 WRX interior, makes the BRZ look ultra luxury.

At least the 04 WRX came with the red momo emblem and black seats. 02 and 03 wrx seats are ugly and the momo symbol is yellow

The thing that sits on the drivers and sometimes on the passenger seat...

I thought you was going to say the model T...

I think cars in American are built cheap hence naff materials.

If I recall proper, the Model T had either cotton or wool whipcord fabric interiors -

On second thought, it was a Model A, pick up truck. It was parked in a barn at the "other place" and didn't run - cept when I was driving - then I drove it all over the world -

I believe somewhere in the promotional material it claims the steering wheel cover has leather on it.

So just how DO they get away with that TOTAL lie and not get sued ?

You may or may not have a leather belt around your waist.

This cougar walked by my car when I had my windows down in the summer many years ago. She said she "loooooves the smell of leather". Not sure what she smelled, but sure wasn't my car. Maybe it was my wallet. #jokesonher #brokeAF

Toyota literature says that my 2020 GT has "Leather-trimmed tilt/telescopic steering wheel...Leather-wrapped parking brake handle cover...Leather gearshift boot...." I'm pretty sure that my 2013 FR-S also had leather on the shift boot.

13-16 models the steering wheel is real leather. Probably the case with the 17-20 models.

I left my stock steering wheel out in the rain and I have never seen so many mold spores in my entire life.

This is true. But I would not mind the pleather seats in my 04.
