It's been hot everywhere even in NH. I used to drive a 1994 Miata with no AC in the summers when I was a young man. My Boxster doesn't have ventilated seats but I drive topless anyways with a bottle of cold water. Comfortable with the AC on, windows up, a cap and all that, but it does get quite toasty. Getting spoilt with old age no doubt and modern conveniences. Never thought that I would miss having a fan to cool my butt and back. I do cycle in the heat which is actually more comfortable.

 

i didnt spec it in my Boxster and i'll guarantee you that if i did, i'd completley forget that its there and it would be a waste of money. My old Golf R had vented seats and my wife's GLI has vented seats....and even though it's 100degrees outside...i just completley forget they are there. And on the off chance i do remember...it just never feels like it does anything. But i'm also the guy that thinks 95 degrees is nice and warm...so theres that

 

I definitely like the ventilated seats. I miss it when I’m in a hot car with carbon buckets.

 

In a hardtop, probably useless. I had ventilated seats in my 911 coupe and I don’t think I ever used them even once in five years. Boxster would be nice because I hardly ever put the top up.

 

Cooled seats are much better than ventilated but I would still have gotten them if they were available.

 

Yes

 

If the SRS had ventilated seat options, I might have considered the sofas over the buckets. My wife's Macan GTS has ventilated and I use it all the time during the summer even with AC on.

 

Once you have ventilated seats, it’s very difficult to not accept having them. With that said, I don’t find the ones in my 718 to be very effective compared to other cars that I have owned.

 

Has anyone w/ LWBS tried these? If so, what level of firmness and what did you think? They seem like a brilliant idea, but also look a bit tall in the lumbar area.

I’d love to have vented seats in my Spyder.

 

Used them all the time in my '14 Boxster S. Would have liked them on my BGTS but the GTS interior was more appealing to me.

 

I had them in my 981 S with leather. I never thought they were very effective. Neither my Spyder nor my 992GTS has vented seats because they both have Alcantara seats. I find Alcantara without ventilation is just as cool if not cooler than leather with ventilation. In short, I thought I’d miss seat ventilation , but I do not. However, if my current cars had leather seats, I probably would.

 

Have you seen a doctor about this condition?

 

Interesting, but only for the back and not the bottom? Also are the active (fan) or passive?

 

Your guess is as good as mine, but i'd guess passive and back-only. Would love to find some first-hand reviews.
