I love my infinitely variable heated seats in the trooper.  You have a heat and a hold. You leave it on "heat" til your bum is at the temp you want then push it to "hold" and it maintains it -mike |

heated steering wheel? I understand heated seats, provided they are leather. I understand heated outside mirrors too, great stuff. Heated steering wheel... aren't you generally wearing gloves when it's cold enough that you would notice a very cold wheel? -Colin |

3-4 loads? Wow. Why don't you get a chipper/shredder to reduce them to maybe one load? I've also seen these lawn vacuums, that look like mowers but are designed to suck up leaves. I wonder if they work. I could definitely use one. Another question - how to you get rid of mushrooms? I'm getting some in the playground area, which has a packed down layer of wood chips. More wood chips, to dry it up, maybe? Wow, 15% of cars have heated seats? That's a lot, considering it's not even offered on so many of them. I think particularly in drop-tops they should be standard. Near-luxury cars, too. I think I'll get them next time around. As back-to-basics as I am, I may give in to a few guilty pleasures. -juice |

Ditto - heated steering wheel - just wear gloves. Opposite experience: hot, hot summer day; black leather steering wheel; parked facing the sun = burning my fingers on the seat belt buckle and needing to wear gloves in order to hold the hot steering wheel. Years ago before subie. Jim |

Gloves work well in the Miata. The other thing is that a heated wheel would only warm the inside of your grip, not the back side. Same with the seats, reversed, actually, and you'd still need a hat! -juice |

Yeah, that's a solution. The heated (leather) steering wheel still felt mighty fine, though... Bob |

I wonder how much that stuff costs. Probably not much. The whole AWP used to cost $400, and came with the LSD, heated seats, heated mirrors, and the windshield element. -juice |

at first, people laughed at heated seats, heated outside mirrors, etc.. So I'm not surprised the reluctance to accept a heated steering wheel. I think using it one time will convince most naysayers. Bob |

What's next? Heated foot pedals? I drive bare foot some times. Laugh, but they already have power pedals, so it wouldn't take any more wiring! -juice |
