Default Black Seats do they get too hot

I am in the process of finding a new 370z. I had a mustang convertible with black seats and the inside of the car just absorbed the heat. Do the black seats on the 2012 370z roadster do the same? We can only find black interiors on the 2012 370z roadsters w/manual transmission in our area. Any comments would be appreciated!

Z roadster has cooled seats. Problem solved.

I'm not sure about Nissan, but BMW has some reflective technology in their 335i convertible's leather that keeps the seats cool...

I've had the Z for a year now and they do get hot, but it hasn't been a deal breaker for me.

Ventilated seats keep your back and a$$ cool.

Have you used one?

13 years in a cloth seat convertible with top down all the time = sweaty back.

First day running the ZR with AC seats = dry back.

Unless you are some sort of hedgehog where nothing is going to keep your fur dry, cooling seats are a nice feature in any car.

z seats are cooled and heated. outside of seat is leather, incide is webbed cloth, looks and feels great. on an 85 degree day, I turn the ac on full, turn the seat fan coolers on and I am comfortable. I have owned many flip tops, this is the only one I could drive in full sun.
