Seat heating. A worthwhile option?
Just a quick opinion on whether it is worth getting seat heating for my new E.
I live in an area were the Winter is cold but not freezing,and the car will have the standard leather seats.
The heating/ventilation option is a little to dear but just the seat heating version is more affordable.
Is it wothwhile and is it effective?

It's effective and warms up quick, adjustable with 3 settings. It's definitely worth getting with leather seats as they can feel a bit unpleasant when you get into the car on a cold day.
Definitely worth getting, especially if you are going to keep the car for 15-20 years, you will amortize all the options expenditure completely by then.

Where I live heated seats is standard equipment in all MB's so I guess it can be considered a very worthwhile option. I use it all the time in the cold months, and they are very effective and efficient.

When we got our ML we got heated seats because my wife wanted them - I did not.
Now that we have them, though, they are very nice - even here in Dallas. They get used off-and-on November through March. I'd go for it again!
I would get the ventilated, heated-and-cooled seats, though - that would be really "cool"!

Yes the ventilated seats would be great,but a little too dear for me.
I think I will order the heated seats though as the car will be with me for quite a while and seem to be worth the little extra.
