I have received mixed feedback from Mazda USA and Mazda Japan about whether or not the leather in the 2017 Sport trim is real or fake. I specifically asked about the steering wheel and the shift. I also noticed the unique material on the driver door's armrest and the dash (the panel above the steering wheel and glove compartment etc.).
The leather on the steering wheel and the shift are stitched and look like the ones in the better models, so I'm guessing that that leather is real. The leather on the driver door's armrest is not stitched, unlike the better models, and seems fake. Finally, the dash looks the same as the better models, and it seems fake.
Also, do you happen to know what the cloth is made of, such as polyester or nylon?
