Midsize Sedans 2.0

Unfortunately, it doesn't help with seeing through windows crusted with ice and snow both inside and out, not to mention someone's breath fogging everything up.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add "Ice Scraper" to the previous list. Also "Defroster." It helps too to learn how to breathe shallowly, through the nose, while the car is warming up on the really cold days. I find that within a mile or so, the defroster has no problem keeping the windshield clear w/o the shallow breathing trick (assuming you first clear snow/ice off the air intake), and the wires in the back window work pretty fast also.
 
The bun warmers help a lot also. Had some on a 3 Series but just said good-bye to that. Which leads to a (on-topic!!) question: which mid-sized sedans offer seat warmers, with cloth and with leather? I'd guess all of them with leather at least, but maybe some with cloth too (not as important though, IMO). Even some compacts now offer bun warmers with cloth and leather seating.

i had an 04 focus with heated cloth seats. i really liked them. i prefer cloth and they were great when it was cold or a sore back.

I can take it. I just don't like it!! If my wife was not big into snow sports (skiing/snow boarding) and all my family were not up here, I would be looking to migrate my flock down south.
 
C'mon down. I'll have a glass of sweet tea waiting for ya.
