Im A Bit Confused Now....heated Front Seats...

[Nightstalker]

Having had a closer butchers in the forum I have read some topics where users with an avensis t spirit have heated front seats....

I have asked my local Toyota dealership and they say that they do not do heated front seats for the avensis nor is it an optional extra one could get....

ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS GOT HEATED SEATS????

[mpeter]

I have got one :P Here you can have it with the car from the dealer or you can buy it later. It costs around 300EUR. And the 2 positon switch is near by the handbrake, where probably you have only a cover where I have 2 switches :D

I'd swap the "combustion space heater" I have for heated seats though! Mmmm. Toasty cheeks! ;)

That's odd --the t spirit is meant to be the luxury version, and heated seats have long been a luxury accessory in the UK, e.g. on my father's volvo 15 years back.

Over here even the most basic Fiat Panda or Lada is equipped as such. Even better than an 'on-off' or switch with four settings or something, the Avensis has an analogue dial for each front seat, fitted either side of the hand brake.

The windshield heater is handy for freeing the wipers and heating the low parts that air blowers sometimes miss. Now that's what I call a non-standard luxury gadget.

Standard issue here in sweden All avensis have heated front seats. Wish it had heated steering wheel though.

I do miss the seat heaters I had on my previous Vauxha Vectra.

The leather seats on my T-Spirit Avensis feel really cold in the mornings when the car has been left outside overnight, even at the relatively modest low temperatures we are experiencing (around zero degrees) in the UK at the moment.

I suppose we motorists have got use to travel in "luxury" in modern cars. My first car I bought in the 1960's was not even fitted with an interior heater.

I still think that at nearly £21k (list price Avensis T-Spirit), Toyota should fit seat heaters to, at least, its top of the range models for all countries.

How quick to the seats heat up once you sit on them....?
