Suede seats how do they hold up in heat?

[D.Va_OW]

I’m looking to replace my 2023 GT Line AWD with another red one, but most of the ones available near Los Angeles come with suede seats. While I love the look, I’m a bit concerned about how they’ll handle sweaty summer days.

For those who already have suede seats, how do they fare when it’s hot out? Any issues with odors or cleaning after a workout or long drive? Would you choose suede again?

I think it's like a microfiber, similar to the Alcantara.

It doesn't smell bad or anything, and it's pretty easy to clean. It's basically just a special plastic that feels like leather.

I haven't been having any issues with them. Contrary, I would recommend them.
