When my extremities were numb and tingling on the 15F morning at Oxbow Bend on the Snake River, the heated seat was my savior!

I'd expect that you'll be using those bad boys many more times before this upcoming winter would be over.

It's going around! I was aching after 8 hours of pressure washing last weekend, and put the seat heaters on when I went out later. Soooo good! And way more effective than my last car.

Leather seats tend to get very cold in the winter. The best part about heated seats is that in the cold, you don't have to wait for the engine to warm up and blow hot air. Heated seats were/are a deal-breaker for me :P

Heated seats rule. Some serious comfort for those cold morning drives to work up north. Chicks dig them too.

I have them in every car I own. A must for me and my wife. However I was surprised at how much I use the heated steering wheel, on those really cold mornings. I wouldn't necessarily have specked the car that way, but a plus.

Loved the heated seat. A weekend of getting beat up snowmobiling or skiing? Hop in a slightly cooler car than normal, drive with the warm seat on med, get out at the end of your drive not stiff.
Heated steering wheel would freak me out too much.
On my Suburban, the remote start in the winter also turns on the heated seats. Load into a warm truck and warm seats. Now that is fantastic.
