It seems to me that when you have A/C on, the ventilated seats actually are then cooled too. Anyone else confirm this?
The seats only have air moving through them, they use the surrounding air underneath not any special "cooling" function. And yes they are anemic compared to other cars I have had. They dont really cool, instead keep your back and butt dry.
