Climate Comfort Seats Question
Hey guys, just saw that climate comfort seats (ventilated seats) are now available to order in Canada as a C$1,200.00 option.
Just wondering for those who have this option, are the ventilated seats worth it? (Because I've seen a couple of posts where people mentioned that they weren't very strong)
Cheers

They're effective in the sense that they do ventilate the seats and provide some cooling. On a hot day, it's obvious that they are working, but I wouldn't call the sensation dramatic. Here, they are part of the interior package. As a standalone option, I'm not sure I'd buy it.

I don't know if I'd pay $1200 for them (same as what I paid for AirMatic!) but I do have them and appreciate them on warmer days.

"And Goldilocks said, "This one's just right!"
I find the C300 ventilated seats are just right. On a hot day, where the sun has been on the driver's seat, they blow some of the heat away from the seat before I even sit down. This works best when you use the feature on the smartkey that opens all the windows and the sunroof (if you have one). That feature also turns on the seat ventilation. This gives the ventilation a few seconds of operation before you contact the seat. Then seat ventilation works well to prevent buildup of perspiration. Except on the hottest days, I am ready to turn it down or off after 45 minutes.
