AC In The Leather Seats - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

My rental car today from Avis has Air Conditioned Leather Seats. I got upgraded to a big a$$ Caddy. It is awesome. I wish the Boxster had this option. I really don't like leather because it is soooo hot. All leather seats should be air cooled!!

I have a fat friend in a Lexus and he loves the cooled seats. It would be nice, but there is something about sticking to leather I kind of like. It's about as close to S&M as my wife will allow.

I think Merc does it too with the SLK. Sweating my ass off in July in El Paso with an engine inches from my back doesn't make for a comfortable ride.

My wife's Expedition has it - and it's great! No more sweaty back in the summertime.

Hi,

At least 10 demerits! Maybe even a good whack on the Pee-Pee! - it's a Sports Car, not some bulging, girlie, boulevard, luxo-cruiser!

Sally Carrera might go for it, but Steve McQueen never would...

Happy Motyoring!... Jim'99

I'm pretty sure there was a time when purists opposed air conditioners in sports cars period.

bmussatti,

For some reason I just can't see you driving a big old Caddy

Also, is there a thread with pictures of your car ? I would love to see the inside...
