Oh yeah, they're great! Especally after you have been at an outside event and you get in the car to travel home. You can feel the heat melting the cold off your back and butt; that alone is worth the price of admission IMO.

Sure, living in Southern California I won't use them very much, but I'm very happy they are there when I will.

Yes, by far... no second thoughts. The hottest heated seats I've ever had.

Seat heat is a must have ...

Hey winyan, a heated steering wheel also exists. I think it is Mercedes who offers it but I am not 100% certain. SMARTCAR95, the heated seats are a must especially if you have ever experienced a -40F day when the seat foam actually becomes park bench solid regardless of whether the seat cover is cloth or leather. At -40F even the tires take some convincing to stay round vice roll with that Fred Flinstone flat spot. Seat heat is a must have ...

THe only way to improve these seats is to add cooling. For those of us who live in the south

My cloth interior has heated seats, and my wife's leather interior also does -- they are a REQUIRED accessory in my family!

Besides warming YOUR buns, the heated seat is also very handy for keeping pizzas and Krispy Kreme donuts warm during your drive home! Just preheat the seat on high while you drive to pick up the goodies, and then cover the food with a towel or coat on the way home.

You do know that you don't have to turn them on don't you?

AND, when they've done their job, you can turn them OFF.

Not too much frigid weather where I live. But, I enjoy them sometimes even when it isn't terribly cold. Kinda therapeutic after a long day at work.

Heated Seats

I would recommend them to anyone who lives in an area that gets below 50 degrees. They are an accessory that is great to have until the car warms up! Cloth seats just as cold as leather....30 degrees is 30 degrees!

Heated seats equals toasty buns on a cold day/night.
