Default Ventilated Seats

This car came with that option which I never had before. On a hot day like today, I used it to cool my backside. It actually works.

Yeah, I love mine in my C4S and they are the best option yet other than sport exhaust, wish my GT3 had them though!

Love the ones in my Cayman. Don't think I can could ever go back to non-ventilated ones again in South Texas. They work really well.

Wifes Panamera has the cooling seats. Porsche does it right with their cooling seats because they suck air away from you...recirculate the air....instead of blowing moist a/c air on you that makes your clothes wet.

Previously, I would never have ordered ventilated seats, but they came in a package that I wanted on my Cayenne S. They are actually a really nice feature and work well.

Hmmmm, and I thought having A/C was decadent!

that option was on my must-have list for a cab here in AZ.
I have the same option on my DD Avalon, and the Porsche works much better.

For $800 they better work well, right? I wouldn't have chosen them, but they were on the Cabriolet my wife had to have. I must admit, I use them all the time.

I would never buy a car with ventilated seats or heated seats for that matter. I want my car to be as uncomfortable to drive as possible. Why? I do my best to discourage my wife from driving my Porsche. So far I've been very successful.

My wife's car has ventilated seats. I drive it a lot in the Summer.

I'm addicted to mine. Definitely one of the best options out there.

Heck, even in winter I first overheat the seats just to ventilate them right after
