Gotta love those heated seats!

When we bought our current vehicle we had no idea it had heated seats. Living in the south it wasn't an option we thought existed! One day I pushed a button by mistake and my butt got hot and that's how we found out about that option.
Those heated seats came in super handy this morning. We left the house at 8:30 and it was only 17 degrees. My husband was nice enough to let the car warm up so when we got in it was toasty warm. You can use the heat on the seat or the back or a combination.
I gave it 10 minutes and then I shut it off...that was enough for me! Even if we only use heated seats a few times over the winter I would want that same option in the next vehicle.
Now if someone tells me I'm hot-headed I can say, "No, I'm hot-butted."

Hot headed and butted makes a warm woman. We have a new vehicle but I don't think the seats are heated but I will look in the book next time I 'm in it.. I have been cars that did and in cold Canada that's a good idea.

That should be standard equipment for cars where you live. Our buttons are below the radio.

Yes, that's for sure. I think that is the second time I used it.

@AbbyGreenhill I imagine that in Finland and Norway they all have heated seats.

In a colder climate they are more needed than a car where I live.

I have heated seats and I love them. I probably use mine more than you do since it's so cold here during the winter.

I hope you use yours more than we have to or I'm really not living in the south! What's the temp there? We don't have snow but it's cold for here, about 28 right now.

That's an awesome feature to have when it's cold out especially in that 17 degree weather! Very sweet of your husband to let the car warm up and your seat warm up before you get in! 
I thought about heated seats when purchasing my car but living in California - I didn't think I needed them so I went without.

It isn't something I would have paid extra for that's for sure.

@AbbyGreenhill Must be nice. Japan doesn't have central heating so the toilet seat is probably the only spot in the bath area that's warm LOL.

I can't leave them on long, my husband who is always cold left his on almost all the way to the store.

I could see if you had them and no longer do that you would miss them. So far in the two winters we've had them we only used them twice.

Where you live they are probably worth their weight in gold.

We have a basic car. No heated seats. I am pretty sure my Mom would have loved such an amenity when she was here.

@AbbyGreenhill: basic. A radio. Air conditioner is there. Thank God for that. Otherwise she drives.

I don't think I'd want heated steering wheel - my hands would melt. More A/C I'll always take.

@DianneN We moved from New Jersey to the south to avoid all that stuff.

@AbbyGreenhill If you lived in Connecticut, you'd appreciate the heated steering wheel much more - right through your thick gloves!
