It does get hot but you get used to it after a while. If you cover it with a towel when you get out of the car it's not bad at all.

I got in on the last group by and IMHO this knob is well worth the money. I live in AZ so I no hot and the knob does heat up. I use a beer, I mean drink coozie to cover the shift knob and it keeps it cool enough to handle.

edit: I don't drive it with the coozie over the knob it just keeps the direct sunlight off of it and it provides some insulation from the heat!

I ended up selling mine. But it was a nice shift knob... really like the feel of it when shifting.
