They must be killer in this weather. I've been planning to get some for the IS but after burning myself on the thin trim of the sports seat, I'm having second thoughts.
I guess if you have air con it's not such a problem.

I wish this was a problem for those of us living North of the wall.

Drop the windows, open the sun roof then drive off to remove the hot air, windows and sunroof closed, air on full wack. Job jobbed!
Fresh leather helps, not shiny dried out rhino hide!

I was driving my 4 door turd this evening after it had spent all day in the sun closed up, sadly it has factory A/C but it needs charging
also I'm not sure how, but the comp doesn't seem to kick in after it was changed from auto to manual could that be down to the wires/plugs from nearby the ecu plug ?

Full leather interior in 40 degree heat (around 105 fahrenheit) and I could care less. Why? Because I'm Australian.
Our arses are tough! My front seats are as rare as hen's teeth ~ no way would I even consider swapping them out for some cloth "second choice" material.

My cab has black leather seats. Never had any problem when it's hot.

Small price to pay in the Uk ...... Two or three weeks of hot days then the rest sumptuous leather with the heated option on cold mornings or chilly eves with the hood down !

Dark blue leather plus viking ancestry (I drive with the window open all year round; hmmm fuel economy?) = near death experience.
Still very much worth it for lovely leather

I am in Croatia, over here is 30+ even today but that is pretty rare for this time of year, so I sit in hot leather 4-5 months in year but I would never consider swapping them for cloth...they are lovely and very easy to maintain...I love it

I just get two of the girls to go out in bikinis with a bucket of ice and take turns sitting in the ice and sitting on the drivers seat while I have a refreshing martini on the terrace..
Black leathers 'for the win'..

Leather and deal with it you big girls! Get a sun shade to protect the leather and keep it cooler inside. If you're too much of a girl and cry in the winter with cold arses get yourselves some heated leather....
