Or just don't get in the car before it's cold lol, wouldn't do that with cloth seats either plus I wouldn't want to sweat into those anyway, they absorb the sweat

    I dont have money to waste on a half gallon of gas for the seats to get cold enough. Besides, fabric doesnt feel very hot as it naturally has insulating properties.

    I have a feeling you live in a mild climate and dont have to deal with 35C with 100% humidity

    35C/100% is literal death for humans. I would literally kill myself whereever you live.

    Also we have diesel cars here. Half a gallon gets you like 2-3 hours of idling lol

    I'm in Europe, but latitude is about the same as Anchorage, Alaska.

    For winter it's not uncommon to have auxiliary heating that starts off a remote or app. Plus you wear clothes to make up for it

    Summer is like 4-5 minutes of idling and then itโ€™s not TOO bad to get inside. Unless you parked straight in the sun and your first drive of the day is in the afternoon.

    Best car I've ever owned was a rusty 2003 MB E-class. 4 zone climate went down to 12C, seats were heated and ventilated, and you could set it to run the interior fan for 30 min with ignition off. 1000 miles to a tank of diesel.

    Cost me a whopping 3k. They're available as diesels in the US too (2005 MY only) and last about a million miles, but US did not get the diesel in the wagon body style I had, which made it the ultimate do-anything car
