Well I think if the 250 adn 350 have the ventilated seats why the heck wouldnt they put them in the F...I had a 350 also and used them in the summer and it made a difference.
but not enough for me not to buy an F but all in all why take features away from your top line IS?
WTF!?!?

Default Over rated

I have had and driven several cars with "air conditioned" seats, and to be honest, its over rated.

I have an '13 RX350 with cooled seats (had an IS350 with them as well), and is does not make much of a difference. I dont miss the feature on the F.

The seats simply dont cool enough to be worth it for me. They dont move enough air through the seats to cool effectively. They also tend to be "noisy" if you are driving on a quiet road.

You're welcomed. I've read it about 3 times during my cross country flights.

I think the ventilated seats in the GS and LS work well

I had them in my old 350, they were great in Guam. I called it the taint tickler.
