Ventilated seats. Ya know, the ones with the fans inside that blow cool air over you to keep ya nice and super cool in hot weather. So far the cheapest car I can find that has em is the Saab 9-5 which is $37,250 when equipped with vented seats.

Does anyone know of a car htat has vented seats that's cheaper than the 9-5?

I wasn't even aware Saab made those, I thought BMW and MB were the only ones.

Saab was actually the first company to have them.

I know Cadillac also has them as an option in certain cars. Some cousins of mine rented a DeVille when I was home for my sister's bat mitzvah, and I got a chance to sit on the vented seats.

Lemme tell ya, that's a freakin great feature. Makes air conditioning so much more effective because it cools you down right away rather than waiting for all the surfaces around you to cool down from contact with cool air coming out of the vents.

I feel the same exact way about heated seats.

Now that I have them, I can't live without them.

what about Mercedez Solar powered cooling system.No matter how hott outside it is and where your car is parked, your car will stay cool inside while your car is shut off and parked...My boss had the car and was showing me the feature..pretty neat.

That's only available on Mercedes cars with the panorama sunroof (i.e. not cheap) and it still doesn't blow cool air over your backside while you're sitting down to keep you from sweating on the seat.

No reason in particular. I just figure a buncha people looking at car features on the web is quicker than just little ole me doing it.
