Hi, considering a 2016 Lexus nx 200. Tried base model and considering one that has ventilated seats (synthetic material). Has anybody compared the two, basic vs ventilated seats? Are they as comfortable with the ventilation? The base model was super soft,puffy and comfortable. Are the ventilated seats the same (just with ventilation), puffy, soft? Does the ventilation make it any more comfortable?

Thank you!

I have the ventilated seats. To be honest, I didn't even think that they might not be as comfortable so I can't offer a comparison. I love the cooling feature - I really wanted that. The heated seats in my last car only warmed the actual seat...not up the back. I thoroughly enjoy the heat on the whole seat. The adjustments are great...on a road trip, I regularly go from full lumbar support to zero lumbar, where the seat is soft and totally comfortable in my opinion. The only issue with the ventilated seats is that the little holes can trap food etc. I don't eat in the car much but when I bought it there were a few holes plugged. You can use a toothpick to pop out anything that gets caught.

I have a '16 NX F and they only come with heated seats whereas the base '16 NX can be had with both. My '15 RC F has both and the seats comfortable. IMO the NX's seats heat more of the seat and back than the RC.
