Nice on cold mornings, but they don't seem to get that warm despite having 3 settings.

mine has been on order 7 weeks now and I haven't got a build date yet!!! Don't hold your breath, when I ordered it I was told twelve weeks but realistically it could be eight or nine!!!!!!! Who knows? I think by other posts it is realistically 14 weeks.

I have heated seats in mine as they are standard with the Mistral trim. I presume that the optional system is the same. This is the first car I have ever owned with heated seats, although i have had leather seats in all my cars for some years. Many people I speak with seem to think that heated seats are an essential with leather but I must be different.

They ones I have work and I have no complaints, but quite frankly I think they are a little pointless. (I would rather have a heated gear knob). What is required is a mechanism to heat the seats before you get in to start the car, by the time the heat is available the seat has warmed up anyway.

I should add that my car is normally garaged so rarely gets that cold inside.

I hired a car in the USA last summer which had 'remote start'. This meant that I could start the car by pointing the remote out of the apartment window (restaurant/bar/etc. window) and have the aircon cool the car before we needed to drive it. The car also had a winter mode which could be set to run the heater and the heated seats before needing to drive away. Eminently sensible I think and something I would love to have over here (health and safety permitting!)




PS I know what you mean about a heated gear lever knob

Burty, my seats heat up really quickly but could be a little hotter, not as warm as the ones I had on my last Alfa. I agree though that I would rather have a heated gear knob, I have been complaining about it bitterly to my friends, so much so that one of them knitted a little bobble hat for it! Living where I do in the Welsh mountains it it regularly below freezing in the winter months. I have to say that the thing I miss most about my last car (Mondeo) is the heated front windscreen, it was a godsend! Now I have to join the ranks of my neighbours filling the kettle in the morning to get defrosted!

That's great.

We are all slaves to fashion. I love the alloy gear knob but in practice a nice leather or wooden gear knob doesn't suffer the cold like this one. I recall having a really nice wooden gear knob in my old Triumph Vitesse about 30 years ago.

Ah, the beauty of an automatic on a cold and frosty morning.

Leather gear knob is available

Hey Daz


I have the same spec as you just in white and i think the heated seats are great. They heat up fast and get yu warming up before the car warms up and you can get the proper heating going. I love the heated seats and will get them in all cars to come.



Enjoy
