Leather seats no A/c??

anybody have leather seats or a whole leather interior and no a/c? just wondering how much I will regret it this next summer when my interior gets redone. I traded a friend some leather seats for a stereo amp which will look good but may be hot.

Leather in hot weather is kind of tough. I prefer cloth in the hot weather, preferably NON-black.

Regardless of the weather conditions, I prefer seats to no seats in my rx: whether they be leather, cloth, wood, or bubble pop!!!

I had leather in my GSL-SE and during the summer it sucked to get into the car after it had been sitting for a while. I normally left the sunroof open to help get rid of some of the heat. But yep, your going to be meserible. But when your kicking *** down the road you forget about the heat.

Leather in the summer sucks big time, my TA has no a/c and getting in, especially when its in the sun, is brutal. You might wanna look into a set of seat covers to use for the summer.

I'd have to try both, TA has real leather and its hell, if vinyl's worse than I don't know if you could even drive with it.
