Got a rental car the other week with leather seats and it occurred to me, they’re not very good, are they? Why are they seen as a premium option? Absolutely horrible when it’s hot and they get warm, if you get bare skin on them it’s nasty… about the only benefit I can see is that they clean easily, but that’s hardly something that should qualify as fancy, might as well have lino.
We had heated leather seats in a Mustang we rented in the US.
But they also had a cool function which was good… after you realised that was the function. Had no idea for ages but it feels like you’re sitting in wet.
Cooling seats sound good. Can’t stand heated ones. Make me feel sick. Like that feeling when you sit on a colleagues chair that’s still hot from their bum
Wife’s car has part leather seats. Horrible in this weather when you’re wearing shorts - burns your legs when you first get in, then you end up getting sweaty and/or stuck to them.
Had heated (fabric) seats on my old car and not a fan really. Bit of a weird sensation and you quickly get too warm and uncomfortable. Heated steering wheel for the winter would be much better.
