  I'd rather get a new Accord with a strong engine and independent rear suspension. $26,000 for a compact KIA, ouch!

  you can get a LOT of used car for $26k, I think I'd pass on the kia even if it means sacrificing a couple model years and some miles/warranty term

  Am I the only one who would buy a car for this feature? Any time I drive for more than 30 minutes, my back starts to sweat. And no, I'm not overweight. Whether it's a leather seat, cloth seat, minivan with big windows or small sedan, and whether it's hot outside or not! It's really annoying! And given the (un)popularity of ventilated seats, it seems like I'm the only one too, which I know isn't true.
  
  So, honestly, the fact that it doesn't ventilate the back portion makes this feature high on my priority list to top of the disappointment list.

  @mistygreen06, I'm right with you. No joke, I consider this to be the greatest advance in driver comfort since AC itself. I am not at all interested in a heated seat, but I would absolutely go out of my way for a cooled seat. Why isn't this the biggest

  @mistygreen06 & misterfusion: I don't have the issue that you guys are talking about, but I still think that ventilated seats are pretty awesome, especially after strenuous activities in the heat in which case the cooling sensation is just about divin
