I stated suede as a simplified explanation since most.people know the texture.
Correct...the picture (appears to be) the interior of a 93 Base model.
Technically the R1/R2 seats are cloth as well. I think it's called Alcantara. But it's not suede.
You sure this was a MAZDA accomodation? Sounds more like something a particular dealership did to make the customer happy.

Mazda actually has a database that you can put the vin and it gives you all options/color everything else about the car. I registered my car on there before I bought it.

Please help identify this car's equipment pkg
Ok, I was thinking about buying this car but I don't know which equipment pkg it is.
Has the rear spoiler but no R1 front lip, has strut bar but not R1, has rear strut bar and no bose speakers, has no wiper on back, has cloth seats, has R1 storage buckets in back. Sorry if this is obvious....not up to speed on equipment pkgs.

I factory ordered my R2 .. I didnt have choices. Now dealers did lots of swapping. If you test drove an R2 in 96-97 then if it was a '95 R2 (very rare) it had sat on dealer lot since end of '95 (US spec '95's were a short prodcution run in October I believe) so lots of time to flip parts.

My VIN comes up as an R1 and it has cloth seats. Granted, I more than agree that it could have been swapped out considering I am certainly not the original owner. I do have the spoiler, cuise, and strut tower brace, but no R1 lip. (I think I just need a new one, lol)
Actually it doesnt have cloth anymore... I had my interior re-done. Im black leather now.

If that's your car in your avatar and white is the original color...I don't think the R1 was ever available in white. And unless there's new information, you can get a build sheet from MAZDA using the VIN, but it doesn't reflect the option package.

you caught me... its not factory chaste white. My car was red from the factory. The previous owner had it painted chaste. Its not the best paint job, but its not half bad either. I did run my vin. My car is a real R1 according to the build sheet. But who knows how many owners this car has had. I haven't searched, thats for sure. I will hopefully be the last. Back to the seats... It did have black cloth when I got it. Like I said, who knows who did what? Seats are easily interchangeable.

The second oil cooler is probably the best way to determine if it is an R1/R2. This "upgrade" is pretty difficult to retrofit and I'm not sure any prospective buyer of that era, when buying new, would have been looking to request this on their order (if it was even available) nor would a dealer want to install it for you using stock parts.
You can also look at the PN stamping on the dampers since the R1's (if it is a 93) were fitted with different dampers than the base, PEP, and touring models.
Based on what I see this is a base car with a few of the easy aesthetic add-ons/swaps installed.
