I can't tell whether the car or me that gets the seat a little warmer in my 2014. I really can't even feel the ventilation. I am hoping that they at least improved this for 2015.

Both heating and ventilation work great in the seats of my 2015.

My 2014 works great.

I have a 2015 and don't think the heated and ventilated seats work very well at all. They are barely noticable. I actually had the dealer check them out when I had it in for another warranty issue and they told me they are functioning normally.

The heat is a little slow but with the A/C on the ventilation work great.

It is the design of the C7 seat to provide cooling that increases the time to get the seats to heat. About ½ way in this video comparing the C6 vs C7 seat you can see the issue. Attached two pics from the video that show the thick perforated open mesh right behind the leather that is used to circulate air but delays feeling the heat:

Thick Open Mesh Behind Leather Delays Feeling Heat

Do they get REALLY warm like in most cars with heated seats? Mine don't.

My car, 2014 convertible, Vin #22487 works real good. Used the heated seats today, (32 degrees) selected only one lighted bar with plenty of heat. Ventilation flows lots of air. Satisfied with the 2LT option.

Same with mine.

I also have vert 2 LT and my seats work just as described in the manual. Cool when fans are on and warm with heat selected.

Just another reinforcement that this is the best corvette ever.

We love it.

My heated seats work fine...It takes about three minutes to feel it on the lowest setting but the first bar is plenty warm enough. I can feel ventilation on the lowest but haven't actually tried them yet...

The heated seats in my 2014 vert work fine. The cooled seats could be better...

Keep in mind the seats are vented and not cooled. They circulate interior air. I like them for long drives when perspiring. The air circulation is most noticeable for the drying of my back and seat.

I've had hotter but I'm not complaining, if it's cold enough to point where I absolutely need it on I would preheat the car anyways. The cooling works great.

Mine get nice and toasty which is great for my lower back then I cool it with vent seat it's like spa for my ***

There have been several threads on this topic since the C7's came out. Many of us have heated seats that seem to barely function compared to other vehicles we own or our C6's. Maybe some are assembled slightly different which accounts for the variation in comments on how well they work? My dealer said they have received complaints from owners of new Suburbans/Tahoes as well that the seat heaters just do not put out the heat like their previous ones. Maybe GM had to change something for liability issues with seats getting too hot? All I know is mine aren't worth a damn...

The heaters in my wife's new ELR are also sub-par.

And my ventilation is generally crap.

Mine get just as hot, but take a longer time to get there. I did have to turn them down today (it was in the lower 30's today).

They don't function the same as the C6s, so I don't understand why everyone thinks they should act the same.

I'm unimpressed with the heating and ventilation in my 2015's seats. The heat isn't nearly strong enough and it takes a long time before I feel it. The ventilation is barely noticeable and nowhere near as effective as on my Grand Cherokee.

VETJAZZ

Same here.
