While the heated seats aren't much value here in Florida, the cooling feature is a Godsend!!! I too used to pooh pooh them until we bought a Highlander equipped with them. No more sweaty back and rump.:C

Real men don't buy leather seats either, no leather = no sweating in the summer nor icy cold in the winter :B

Had a car with leather seats, hated that leather, may as well had 1970's vinyl seats (freeze in the winter and get first degree burns in the heat of the summer).. At least the 1970's vinyl outlasted that cheap thin leather cover the OEMs use.

Oh no, leather is sweet! Heat in the winter and cool in the summer, and dog hair doesn’t stick to them.

Your obviously from the other side of the States so of course everything works the opposite way there? :h

Doesn't work that way around my neck of the woods, sitting on hard cold leather in the middle of winter wasn't any better than sitting on vinyl seats, both are cold and stay cold in the winter.

100F+ inside temps in the summer, you sweat just as bad as you do with vinyl once you get past the first degree burns..

It is for that reason heated and cooled seats became a very popular "must have" option at one time, now pretty much every manufacture that offers Leather seats includes the heating and cooling.

I found that of all things that the cloth seats work well for not having either effect.. They don't get overly hot enough to make me sweat in the summer and not overly cold in the winter. So no extra fancy heating and cooling needed.

Dog hair? Don't have that issue, don't have dogs, cats, horses, chickens, ground hogs or any other animal and if I did, they wouldn't be riding on my seats.. Bad enough trying to keep the kids from wrecking things let alone pets. Besides, dogs and cats can easily damage leather seats even faster than cloth.
