Man, I can't believe the stuff I've latched onto with this car. Last week we hit freezing weather for the first time this year. That heated steering wheel is the absolute best! The wheel is hot in no time flat. Now if only the shifter weren't so cold!
The rear sunshade is great too - I drive with the sun to my back going to and from work, so it's almost always in use.

Agreed. With the temps falling in the No Va area, I am loving to give the CWP a workout.
One peeve, though. The Passenger Seat should have a sensor which turns off the seat heater if no one is sitting on the passenger seat. There is a weight sensor in the passenger seat which turns off the air bag if a child is sitting in the front passenger seat so maybe they can leverage the same sensor to turn off the heater?

No when it's starting to get colder here in Europe I may regret that I didn't chose the heated steering wheel

I live in California, so I don't need it heated.
I love the way heated wheel bar feels. It feels a lot sporty because it's thicker than regular wheel.
