heated seats... worth it?

[slogans7]

My wife demanded that any convertible we bought had to have them. She was right. As much as I thought they would be too froo-froo, I now love them. It's great to keep the top down on chilly mornings or evenings, put on a little heat and warm up my, um, seat.

Hi,

Even though I've driven my Boxster quite comfortably in 40°-50° weather (Windstop on, side windows up, heater on vent/floor), I wish I had the heated seat option.

I am intrigued by several aftermarket kits, especially those using a carbon-fibre matrix rather than a traditional single heating coil. I am currently looking into several of the models offered by this company to retrofit into my car: http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/seatheatac.html

These are actually less expensive than the Factory option, of course with these, you do the work.

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99

I live in the desert and while the days are smokin' hot...the nights are nice and cool and heated seats have been a must. Definitely go for the heated seats...everyone has already listed the reasons!
