Letherette or leather steering wheel?

If you take the letherette option then the steering wheel is letherette? It really does not seem to feel like the same material. I was wondering if there is a lether option avaliable. miniusa.com only has a beige option listed.

Anyone know if there is a 3-spoke multifunction black leather steering wheel option at the dealer?

If you had it installed how much $$$ was it?

i thought with the addition of either the sport or premium packages you got the leather steering wheel, regardless of your upholstery option. i think the best thing you can do is call your MA and ask them, i found that during my ordering process my MA was more than happy answer my numerous questions.

Both multifunction steering wheel styles are leather, the only time you get vinyl is with the none multifunction two spoke wheel

All I can add is that on my '04 MC the three spoke leather wrapped steering wheel (non-multi-function) was a $250 option. There was no mention of a leatherette three spoke wheel.

I have an 05 with premium pack and the multi function 3 spoke wheel. That is leather? Feels like letherette.


Wow just checked and the premium pack comes with the 3-spoke leather multi function wheel. Thats some cheap leather. Thats why I got the letherette seats. Guess I should see if the dealer has a letherette wheel and not a leather one.
