Very Nice!

If you have to deal with subfreezing temps, it makes a huge difference. And I can have the car toasty on my side while my wife likes things a bit cooler.

This is my first car with heated seats and I love them.

I may be getting a bit old but...I think every car that I buy from now on will have to have heated seats.

I will never go back to non-heated. i thought before, " who needs heated seats". I changed my tune when I sat in these babies when I sat in them though.

Absolutely fantastic. Luckily it's been a tad warmer than usual in Ottawa these days but I still put them on. This too is my first car with heated seats. I highly recommend them.

the "hot" setting is pretty extreme, havent had enough cold weather to use that, but ya, heated seats, definatly a nice
treat!!!

It's nice, our volvo's seat heat a lot more, but the subaru's heating setting are still nice.

atroz · 01-10-2002, 06:47 PM

This is my first car and winter with them. They're nice to have, but if they were an option, I don't know how much I'd be willing to pay. Of course we haven't had any -30 degree temperatures yet either.

LOVE EM!!!!!

When everything else is frezzing in the car my ass is still nice and warm.

And the Women sitting in the passenger side say:

"OHHHHohhhhhOHHHHoooooommmmmmmm Heated seats"

Now let's see...can this be considered as enough foreplay?!?!

The best thing about heated seats is not telling your passenger that you have them and then turning their seat on high on a hot day... It's funny the reactions you get sometimes! Heated seats are fun!

WRXnFX · 01-14-2002, 05:07 AM

Chris, How about you help me install my seat pads and take them for a test sitting? I can get you heated seats too. Winslow

If it were an option, I would have not taken heated seats to save some money and I never thought they were that important. However since they came standard in my REX which I just bought a few months ago, they are really starting to grow on me now in subzero temperatures. I often find myself swearing badly when I start the car up by remote only to get inside the car finding that I had forgot to set the seatwarmers to on when I parked it earlier. I guess I got spoiled.

I miss my heated seats in the Jetta. I too agree that once you've got heat , there's no going back.

HOWEVER, my winter car... '91 Legacy wagon doesn't have them. How hard would it be to swap seats from a newer subie with heat ? When did they first introduce heated seats and for that matter which models will bolt right up in my car ?
