I think our expectations of them are a bit high. They don't create a "breeze", but I can sometimes feel them more depending on the pants/shirt I'm wearing. The "High" setting is only good if you have the audio pumping good and are driving on down the freeway. The high-pitched "jet whine" sound is disturbing. Anyone else notice the high whiny motor sound from the fans on the high setting?
I guess cooled seats are mean't so you don't have a wet shirt back and a wet butt from sitting in leather on a 90+ degree day. I'm hoping they at least prevent that. Wish you can still get a high line vehicle with cloth seats. Cloth= you don't need to cool and you usually don't need to heat them.

In the test drive I did notice the seat fan is real noisy on full. I didn't notice the whine though. I think the expectations come from comparison with other ventilated seats? At least it is so for me - and as such it's a fair to compare these seats to others I've experienced.

I wholly support your comment on cloth seats being available in all trims. I just don't like leather or leatherette. It's too sticky for me. And I also think cloth looks better.

Some how in the last 10 years or 20 years... leather has become synonymous with expensive/quality/ high level. I don't view as such.. especially if the leather is not supple.... ours is a bit "stiff"... LOL. I had a Cadillac with buttery leather you wanted to melt into... these... not so much... Leather today is yesterday's vinyl ... Love the car.. wish you could get cloth in nice trims.
