Does anyone actually want a hot seat? YUK. Who the hell needs heated seats in a Corvette anyway. That kinda crap is for old men and their Cadillacs.

My seats get so hot I can't take it on level 3 for more than 15 minutes and that's on a 25 degree day...as it warms up slightly the time at level 3 greatly gets reduced.......level 1 for me on a cold day consistently !

Heated seats is my only must have non performance option I would get in a car. Driving on a cool night with the top off/down with heated seats and the heater on is an awesome feeling. The vette doesn't need to be driven just as a sports car, it's very easily a dd and a gt cruiser.

I've noticed the seats in all newer cars, at least the 5 or 6 models I've been in do not work as heat as well as the older versions. I had a 00 Cadi and they cooked you. Course they had a reputation for breaking the hear coils so maybe they are turning them down.

I get what you are saying, never thought about top down or roof off, cool weather and heated seat. That actually sounds nice!

Mine used to get really hot really fast... Now they get pretty warm, but not as warm as before.

mine don't get hot either, just warm. And it takes it awhile to feel at all. My wife's sienna and my F250 both get hot a lot quicker. However, the heater makes up for it. Mine starts blowing hot air before I can get out of the driveway. How do they do that?
