New (to me) Genesis and question about leather

[DesertJake]

Today I purchased a 2013 Genesis with 24K miles on it. So far, I'm extremely happy with the car and the deal (squeaked just under $20K).

The car in general is in great condition, much better than the other two used ones I test drove. Also, for some reason this car has the the perforated leather seats. I'm confused because the other two weren't perforated. Isn't this the upgraded leather from the better packages? It seems odd since the car I bought is a base model. Anyone know why it would be there?

Just because the seats are perforated, does not mean they are premium leather or that they are ventilated (active cool air blowing through them). I thought that all Genesis seats were perforated for all trim levels, even though some were supposedly an upgraded leather, and some were ventilated. Maybe the other non-perforated seats you saw were replacements?

I don't know. The other two were 13s as well. It's no big deal, I was just curious about the difference.

I wish I had ventilated seats! That was the one feature that almost got me to choose a new 14 Sonata Limited instead, but the Genesis was much nicer in every other respect of course.
