| > when you've left your car in below zero weather it's useful Yup. Getting back from any snow sport where you wiped out and all the snow decided your butt's where it's going to hang out sells the product. |

| If you do not have a garage and live in a cold weather climate they are fantastic. Heat up almost instantly when the engine might not warm up entirely to get the heat going for a good 15 min. |

| They are nice in cold weather to "hold you over" on short drives before the air heating warms the car up. My Civic remote start with the key fob will automatically turn them on when it's cold. |

| > Heated steering wheel on the other hand; that's heavenly Twice I tried it on rental cars it freaked the hell out of me. This is what I'd imagine people experiencing some exotic neurological collapse feel like - part of hands feeling warm, while surrounding bits feeling frozen. Mixed signaling, really bizarre dissonance. So now when I get a new car, I get pretty much every option except for the heated steering wheel. |

| ▲ | encom an hour ago | parent [-] | | It's funny, I have heated steering wheel in my car (2022 Leaf), and when I bought it I didn't think anything of it. However, being in Scandinavia, when the first snow+ice came, I tried it and loved it instantly. Now I even use it on not very cold days, just because it feels nice. :) |

| I have some sorta skin condition that I can not stand either the heated seats and the heated steering wheel. But my wife ... in winters, the first thing on entering the car is to activate the heatings seats. Some people like them. And yes I paid for the subscription (or a package that cost me a bunch but gave me everything all inclusive). |

| I see you did not grow up going out to the driveway to start the car before breakfast :) |

| it's quite useful in a convertible along with the heated steering and the neck warmer taking it roof down on a coldish day |

| Turn it on on the passenger seat to keep your take out food warm while you drive home. Also good for those of us with back issues. I use mine even in the summer sometimes for that reason. |
