This was not my experience with a 2015 Lexus RCF. The heated or ventilated seats were pathetic. The seat ventilation in my '17 C4S works very well.

Agreed re S class, as my S600 ventilated seats were barely noticeable.
Definitely feel they work well in the 911, but they're not refrigerators.
Nice to have for sure as is that instant a/c max button

Black car and black leather interior and the ventilated seats are amazing! I'll never have another car without them. I too find I'm turning the seats down as the cooling becomes quite cool...

Having the button set for level three (press once) You feel nothing. I think i kept turning it on to appease my brain's wish to see the 3 blue lights, thinking there would results one day. No joke.

Had a 2007 ES350 (don't ask, it was a dark period) and the seat ventillation on my 12.5 C2S are 75% as good...

Coming off an S550 with cooling seats - needless to say, they are disappointingly weak. I quite honestly don't feel any "cooling" or ventilation.

We have a 2016 Range Rover LWB Supercharged with the cooling seats, and they absolutely give the desired results.

I once rented a Chevy Suburban for a few days and seriously, It was like sitting on an ice pack (I LOVED THAT).

What are your opinions on the Porsche ventilated/cooling seats on the 911?

Thanks in advance.

My delivery is estimated at the end of September.
If you don't know that they pull air conditioned air rather than cool and push it, and so don't have the AC on, you will never find out just how effective they are.

I have cooled seats in in C2S and Cayman S. They work great. I pushed the button on for a unsuspecting passenger and enjoyed his surprise and telling me his handlebars were too cold.

"Handlebars?" That's a euphemism that's new to me.

Either he has more than one, or he has manscaped himself in the shape of the famous mustache.

I'm quite impressed with the seat ventilation (better than others I've tried). You can hear & feel it. Definitely useful here in FL. Haven't tried the heaters yet!

Very good ventilation and cooling. Much better than a previous S55 AMG, so I understand your dissatisfaction with the MB. You will definitely like them.
