Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 23, 2007 3:14 pm) Yes that will switch themselves off after a certain period of time. Alas they will not auto switch on using the remote start. Still it could be worse. I can at least run out and switch them on, but in my mother-in-laws Cadillac the heated seats will no even switch on unless they detect that someone is sitting in the seat. So much for technology eh?

Replying to: lanbaba (Jan 23, 2007 8:30 am) Look the the pricing of the new Buick Enclave. That will start in the mid high $30s but with options will probably get into mid/high $40s. Still it looks a lot of car for the money but I'm too young for a Buick  so GMC Acadia it probably will be....

Replying to: kjnorman (Jan 23, 2007 9:22 pm) my seat heaters are a button, too. push it on, it may time out, but it goes on the next time the car is started. i don't know if the seat heaters in the other vehicles work the same way. |

Replying to: barnstormer64 (Jan 24, 2007 6:15 am) Now my Audi has 6 heat positions (actually as its a dial its infinite from 0 to 6) where 6 seems hot enough tp fry a egg in 60 seconds (good to get the seat warm and toasty in about 2 minutes on the -0F days) to 1 which is good to keep your bum warm nice and warm on a decent commute. I wish the Freestyle's heated seats were as good as an Audi's then then it was cost $50K.....

I was talking about a two way remote start so that the car could communicate back to me. Well blow me! I just discovered today the GMC is introducing such a device for their cars and trucks. News of that here! That Acadia is sounding more tempting each time I look at it as a replacement for my aging Audi. I won't get rid of the Freestyle as it is still decent enough but considering all the crap that GM got last year, when I see the products they are introducing now, GM definitely is on the up. Whereas Ford unfortunately still does not have a clue. Regrettably I see nothing in Ford's pipeline to make me want to buy any of their upcoming models. GM yes, Ford No.. |

When the '08 Freestyle is unveiled next month, I sure hope it has a less "plasticky" interior, especially the dashboard. Soft-touch materials would make the interior more upscale.
