Wife bought a new car and asked me to drive it home while she drove her old car home. I was unfamiliar with the controls and while on the freeway I inadvertently turned on the driver seat heater to high. Wow, in 5 minutes I felt like a pork roast! Could not turn it off. I had to exit the freeway and figure it out. All the controls are on a monitor. It has been a year now. I am the passenger always. I try not touch anything on that screen.
Well my truck has rump roasts front and back seats. But I’m the only rider now and never turn heated seat/backrest on. Got all whistles and bells for my wife – now she’s bedridden under home hospice.
A wasted feature, and more trouble than they are worth. The swich sometimes flips on without realizing it, and now you have a sweaty but on a long car trip.
Wilberforce is too young to ride legally in the front seat anyway. Toasted buns are not worth the physical damage to a child. I am roughly the height of a 12-year-old boy. I am not safe from the air bags. I have been told to drop my arms and turn my head to the side to survive a crash that will set them off. I am a careful driver. (I knew someone involved with air bags and was told that they only have to legally protect people over 5’2" and non-pregnant people from being damaged or killed from air bags.)
we have heated and cooled front seats in both vehicles – my car has heated back seats, hubs truck does not both have heated steering wheel and heated mirrors
Back in the 1980s, I had a girlfriend who owned a Saab with heated seats. We used to joke they had two settings, off and "rump roast. Those suckers got hot! We were constantly turning them on and off to control the heat.
My latest car has heated seats with three settings, heat below the rear end and behind the back. My favorite feature is the heated steering wheel.

Brutus has heated sets in the car? On the surface, that makes him sound like a winner, until we find out that he has to pay a subscription for it!

The ultimate in luxury—heated seats AND heated backs. Feels so good. In my friend’s car.

My last truck, and my current truck have heated seats for the back seat passengers. My children like them quite a bit.
I have a heated steering wheel, and heated and cooled front seats.

I don’t know why Brutus has heated seats in his car. He’s on THE HOT SEAT enough as it is at work.;D

When I was a kid there was no such thing as heated seats. But I do remember complaining on long drives which would result in a roasted rump.

Meanwhile, Brutus is thinking “Today is March 13. I hate when Friday the 13th falls on a Monday, it ruins the entire week…..”

That was the main feature I wanted when we purchased our new car last year, a year ago tomorrow actually.

My wife’s car has heated seats (and no subscription) which has helped our backs when we go out of town and/or on cold days.
