My 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the first car where I've had them. The front seats have heat and cooling, and the rear seats have heat. My wife and I love them! The steering wheel has heat also, on those cold mornings and days.
Oh and by the way, my 2005 BMW motorcycle has heated seats and heated hand grips. They are nice on the motorcycle too.
I have heated and cooled seats with massage and a heated steering wheel. The heated seats are nice when it's cold, heated wheel doesn't get as warm as I expected but better than nothing. The cooled seats are nice if it's hot and humid, they do make a difference, but not as much as you might expect.
I use the massage seats along with the heat on once a week or so, if I feel especially tired or sore. They help some. Again, not as noticeable like you'd think of a massage chair though. But they do help.
I got a good deal on the car and it had those features, I wouldn't spend thousands of extra to get it all though. Also have heated seats in the back that will probably never use.
We had heated seats in Ohio and loved them. Fast forward to coastal Georgia and we still love them. Not because it’s ever cold, but because we’re old and have arthritis.
I don’t have them, but whenever I am in someone else’s car that has it, I always use it! I will definitely consider it for my next car. I lived in Florida before and cooled seats weren’t all that common when I bought. I did rent a car with it and it was amazing when I tried it the first time.
We always get the leather heated seats. I have a picture of my dash with the thermometer registering -14*F. I have not tried cooled seats but I’d like to. I think the cooled seats usually come in the most expensive packages, though. So I’d likely forgo them (the cooled seats). If I lived in Florida it would be another matter.
I love heated seats in the winter because they warm up before the car heater does, usually - unless you start your car 10 minutes early. I only do that on the very coldest mornings.
I don't have cooled seats but I got this cooling/heating seat pad that does offer a bit of relief in the worst heat. It covers the leather seat which can blister you! And it circulates cooler air under you. It's not all that cool but it helps.
I would definitely pay for both in my next car - but I don't want to have to get every other accessory along with it.
I had heated/cooled in a F150 for years. Traded the truck and missed the cooled seats. I traded a 2 yr old Tahoe LT for a new Yukon specifically for the cooled seats. Tahoe only had heated seats.
For my daily driver it is a must along with satellite radio and keyless start.
