Nooooo, not a Spare.

Having electric heated seats and steering wheel in my Macan.

I was as warm as toast today.

So how many now regret not specifying these little luxuries?

Heated seats was a definite on my original spec and was toying with the heated wheel but thought I’d not use it much. Wow what a great feature. Seriously looking for a retro fit to my Transporter. Heated windscreen is a nice feature as well

Just a shame not being able to fire them up before leaving the house. :)

Heated seats ( have F/R), screen and steering wheel were must haves, first time I’ve had both and screen and wheel, been brilliant these last few days.

Yes, toasty seats and wheel are great options. Defender has the heated screen too, something I haven’t had since a Mondeo many years ago. Always thought it was a good option and all three have been put to good use in the past few days, even in the balmy southwest!

Heated seats have been a must-have for me since buying a merc many years ago that had them.

I was pleasantly surprised by the heated steering wheel, thought it would be a bit gimmicky but I love it

Agree with the above. Wasn’t a fan of my alcantara steering wheel when I got the car but absolutely love it now. Pre-heating would be a feature I’d love but not when it’s ££££. The electric cars all have the pre-heat function and I use it every day, it’s absolutely the best feature if you have to go out on early school runs.

Currently looking into actually changing the steering wheel on the 992 to get heated. I think I can pick one up for around £600 second hand and another £300 at my Indy to fit it - so around £900 all in…
Is it worth it? I think it probably is!! 😂
