After having them in one of my cars a few years ago, they are a must have for me, especially in South California/Florida. No sweaty back is a good thing lol

We only got our P4 last November and haven’t had a warm enough day until this week. Unfortunately it’s been at the dealership for service and I’ve got a Macan loaner. The loaner does have vented seats. Tried them out and car now smells like azz. Not sure I’m going to be impressed when I get the P4 back....

Perhaps a cleaning of the seats or a shower is in order

right now they are on my "must have" list, but I was reading a thread in another group where they w=talked about how wimpy the vented seats are in the Panamera
should I move them from "must" to "would be nice"?
Always wanted them and finally had them in the 971 ST. They just blow cold air to the nether regions and it seems pretty effective. Nice not getting out of a car in the heat with a sweaty lower back/butt. Recommended.

The cooling feature works really really well in my 2012.

Fortunately, it’s a loaner so I’m not going to worry about it.

In a similarly related topic. Our P4 also as the massage feature for seats. The car was a dealer’s choice so they picked the options. At the time I never would have bought the option, however last winter I had to do a round trip from Boston to Cleveland, a last minute family thing. I have to admit on a ten hour drive the massage seats are really great.
