Climate Control Quality?

A relatively minor point, but just curious. How well and how long does it take for the car's interior to heat up when it's cold and the opposite for when its hot? Can't wait till I'm an Ex-300SRT8!

Seems to be fairly good. Had some temps around 30 in the morning recently and was warm by the time I left our subdivision. AC seems good, but the warmest it has been was only mid 70's and sunny so not much of a test yet. Really enjoy the heated seats more than I thought I would. Kind of glad it came with it now that I have tried them.

We have had days into the single digits and it takes perhaps 10 minutes and the heated seats really help during those first minutes. Although it warms up the heater never really blasts hot air when it is that cold.

Although I'm in SoCal, I got used to the heated seats a few years back in my BMW, and use them quite a bit now. Definitely on the top of my list when I configured my Smart. Thanks for the input so far!
