I asked this question embedded in a different topic and never got a response, so I thought I would create a topic.
The order guide states that a 3 spoke LEATHER steering wheel is standard.
Is the sport steering wheel ($250) leather? I would think not since...
they offer a leather sport steering wheel ($740). Is that just different (smooth) leather or is the sport steering wheel standard not leather. Would it be wierd to have a full leather interior and then order the $250 sport steering wheel and not be leather? Any thoughts on the sport steering wheel versus the leather sport steering wheel would be appreciated, again assuming a full leather interior. With the sport seats, there is a discount for the leather sport seats if you have a full leather interior ($400 versus $760 if non-full leather interior), I would think the same for the steering wheel.
I know I sound confused, maybe because I am a bit. A sport steering wheel sounds great at $250, but not so great at $740 if that is what I need to spend for it to match the full leather interior.
Speaking of the full leather interior...the order guide seems to be wrong about what is in fact leather in the full leather option. The description of option AT (full leather black) doesn't include the dash and other areas that are listed in the two tone interior, but my understanding is that there isn't a difference in what is in leather, just that it is two tone and costs $430 more. Is this just an error in AT?
Obsessing over options continues
The sport steering wheel is LEATHER around the rim of the wheel itself, but the center circle where the airbag is is faux leathette. The leather steering wheel uses real leather in the center and is nicely stitched. A pricey option to me since it is cosmetic at best, the portion of the wheel that you grip is the most important and that's leather either way.
I had a chance to look at all the wheels up close and here's my .02.....
If you are not getting full leather for the whole car, then the 'sport steering wheel' is just fine, but if you have full leather the rough grain leather of this wheel is kind of a mismatch with the rest of the interior leather......a little thing, but it was plain to me. The 'leather sport steering wheel' @ $740 looks much better in a carwith full leather......and that's why Iselected it over the regular sport wheel.
Full black leatheris the same as other full leathers.......no diff as to what is covered over the other colors.
Is the center of the standard steering wheel round or triangular in shape??
Standard wheel for the Cayman is triangle.....any sport wheel is round hub.
Triangular, point down, sport wheel is round in center.
Thank heavens - I hate the round centered wheel
