Ventilated Seats

Hello,

I will be ordering a Designo interior and I understand that it comes with heated front seats.

1) The question is for a vehicle driven MA, should I get ventilated seats?

I do read on the forums where occasionally there will be a comment saying "the ventilated seats make the seats firmer."

2) Do the fans below the leather make the ventilated seats less comfortable/firmer?

Thanks

I can't find any difference in the vented vs. non-vented seats in terms of firmness. Mine are quite comfortable.

1) I don't know, how warm does it get over there? If you find 75F+ degree weather too warm, then vented seats can be a nice touch on those days.

2) Absolutely zero difference in firmness between vented seats and non vented. I changed my seats from just heated to heated + vented so I have physically seen, felt, touched, etc. both seat cushions next to each other and there's no difference.

I would get it. Vented seats are nice.
I would agree on the firmness that there is no difference.

Getting Designo interior without getting multi-contour + ventilated seats + wood/leather wheel + piano pacquer wood trim is like buying a pair of pants without a pockets or a zipper.. you can get nice material, but with no pockets and no zipper you got no function...

Best to list out all the options you think want on your oder ... so that you can get some ... and depending on Designo color I hope you are in tune with the fact it could be June production...

I didn't think you could get the Designo interior with multi-contour seats?
