Default Do all RSX Type S come with leather interior?

I'm in the market for an RSX-S, and I found a good deal on one but it has cloth interior. I wasn't sure that the type S came with cloth interior. Can anybody clarify? I've been a generation 3 integra owner for about 4 years now and I'm making the transition.

hmmm I thought only base models had cloth but if you order a car brand new you can usually pick all the options you want. So maybe the original purchaser either didn't want leather or cheaped out.

My thoughts exactly.
I personally like cloth better so if it is a Type-S that'd be a plus for me haha.

could be a theft recovery, or just somebody switched with their buddy before selling the car. like others said cloth has never been an option on the type s.

well i checked the vin, and unfortunately it's not a Type S.

I'm pretty disappointed because the car looked great otherwise. I guess somebody just slapped on a type S badge on it.

Oh well, the search continues.

the best way to tell would have been that extra gear with the number 6 on it.......

not really, since it's easy to swap the tranny. checking the vin is the only way to be 100% sure.

Not to mention it's not easy to see if it's a 6-speed through pictures...chances are it's an aftermarket shiftknob as well.
