Seat cooling effective?
I've just been in my car about a month, and now it has gotten very hot outside. However I have found the seat ventilation/cooling to be not as effective as my old S550. Especially the seat back - I can't tell that there is any cooling in the driver or passenger seat. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Also, I find that the car does not cool down as quickly as the S550 after being out in the hot sun either.
Appreciate any thoughts!

Seat cooling has never been any good in any of the MB I have owned.
But my EQS cools down a lot faster than my S550 coupe. You can limit the max fan speed even in Auto. Ensure that you don't have yours limited.

Agreed that none of my Mercedes have had good seats cooling. It’s really just a weak fan. My Lexus seat cooling is very effective.

I'm not familiar with Lexus models but don't they have "real" cooling for seats? Mercedes has ventilated seats, fans blow cabin air as it is, no cooler than that. No opinion if cooling is actually healthy.

In San Antonio, after a round of golf, seat ventilation is awesome on wet shirts and shorts, especially after the AC gets cranking, on the way home from golf. I turn it off about half way home because I get too cold.
