I have heated seats in 2 of my cars, at least here in Maine with the cold temps we have, they are not enough. The heated seats and heated steering wheel help a lot, but more is needed. I don't understand VW's take on not including the heat pump system in the car. The compressor, the most expensive part, is already there for the cooling and they just need the valves added to reverse the flow thru the system. If they are going for efficiency, a heat pump is much more efficient for heating than an electric heat strip. If Canada gets the heat pump, I would like to think they could at least add the heat pump to the AWD vehicles as that implies they will be used in cold climates.
