Every Volvo used to have them on notability. No longer. Even on high spec merc and bmw they want you to buy the “winter pack”. Which normally has a load of useless stuff bundled with heated seats for £300-£500.
Indeed. That’s why I drive a Japanese car. Like most cars from the Far East, they tend to include a whole host of extra kit which is included in the price of the vehicle. I remember cars when I first started driving 40-odd years ago. British & European cars were always miserly on extras. The likes of Datsun, Toyota, Honda etc used to throw in such luxuries as a radio and were the first to include electric windows on lower-spec models.
Fast forward to today and the likes of MINI (for example) ; if you want heated seats – you can only have them as part of what they laughingly call a ‘Comfort Pack’ (does that mean the car is uncomfortable without it???)… at a cost of £900.
£900.00!!!!
I would rather freeze my ass off thanks Mini.
