Replying to: garym1j (Jul 23, 2008 2:37 am) Doesn't that option add about $2000   Well.... yes and no. The cooled seats are available only on the Limited. So if comparing to the XL it would add about $8000. Comparing to a loaded XLS about $1500. However, you gain keyless start, sunshade, signal mirrors and some other things as well.

Replying to: thegraduate (Jul 23, 2008 8:09 am) I want to know whether I NEED those two big, expensive choices.   Do the rest of you find the lack of perforations and/or seat coolers a problem? Do you miss them, or wish you had them? Replies to this message: allmet33 (Jul 23, 2008 9:04 am) thegraduate (Jul 23, 2008 10:32 am)

Replying to: tonycd (Jul 23, 2008 8:54 am) I've been driving my Azera for 2 years and I live in the DC Metro area (lots of humid heat during the summer months here). I don't really have a problem with sweating or anything at all.   However, after test driving the Genesis (which has the perforated leather), they felt much more comfortable. I didn't use the cooling feature (which is available) and I felt like I was riding on cloth seats. So even if you don't go for the cooled seat option, the perforated leather makes a difference in my opinion. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Jul 23, 2008 10:32 am)

Replying to: allmet33 (Jul 23, 2008 9:04 am) I'd agree - the perf. leather in my folks' new Taurus is cooler to the back than my friend's '01 Acura CL without it; both have light colored leather, and light exteriors.
