I have had rental cars with a/c leather seating...and it was the $hit! I would like it in the Boxster, but I don't know how well it would work with the top done. Don't want to "rob" any HP's either.

This was one of the main reasons I selected a lighter color leather. Cooler in the sun.

I wasn't too keen on a black interior in a convertible but didn't have a choice with my LE. Even though we haven't gotten to the dog days of summer yet, I've been impressed with the Alcantara inserts in my seats on the hot days we've had. It seems cooler than leather. Maybe you could have some inserts sewn into your seats? Shouldn't be too expensive compared to other options and would look nice.

Just be ready when everyone wants to rub your seats.

I always get a hot sweaty butt in my seats with the top down. I'd love to have cooled seats, but I'm so used to being hot I can live with it. I did notice a huge difference in comfort when I decided to start wearing a hat when I drive though.
