Anyone else bewildered by this missing feature? Sat Nav, all the other bells and whistles, yet no ventilated seats? IMHO I'm kinda dumbfounded why they aren't in there. Even with the premium package.
I mean the only sporty cars I can think of that have it are the American ones.

My 991 Carrera S had them. And they were quite awesome for "spirited" drives.

I live in hot a** FL and my RC has this feature. Love it, but I've already accepted some of the A90s flaws :dunno:

I would trade the heating feature for cooling any day.

Mine will be sitting in storage during the cold months..

There are worse things in life, but sitting on scorching hot leather and feeling sweat pool on your back, gluing your shirt to you, definitely sucks.

Edit: I will also add, I think the gas gauge really sucks too. I have a feeling others will share in my disgruntled gas gauge views once we get these on the road....

I wish the new Supra has these! It would be a plus for me. Summer car for me, heated seats would never be turned on

I couldn't care any less about having heated or ventilated seats; the lack of these features are a welcome from me as it means simpler, lighter, less parts, less electronics, less plumbing, and, finally, less cost. However, ergonomics is very important to me when it comes to seating and I hope Recaro has designed and is manufacturing the seats in the Supra.

I wish it was an option and not standard on the premium. I would totally skip the heated seats.

I love heated seats in my daily driver because winter, but I won’t be driving the Supra in winter here lol.

Never had them before.... but living in the UK, last thing you need are cold seats - we got that locked down already :)

I was wondering if we can order them from somewhere, since they get them in the UK. Maybe one of the dealerships across the pond. Shipping would suck, but depending on where we live, could be worth it.

Never works in my car. It just blows hot air. I doubt i'll miss it. Heated seats/steering wheel are more important for me.

It did say heating and cooling seats in the literature, but on a test drive I didn't see anything to suggest it - didn't ask either to be fair.

The 3 series(even the new G20) doesn't even have the option for ventilated seats, that's like a 5 series and up thing so no way you'd see them in the Supra/Z4. Heated seats have been a BMW thing forever so of course they'll have them if they are electronic seats.
