Car has done 6500 miles - I have heated steering wheel and seats and use them (though it's not too cold here - coldest this winter has been -1, normally 5 or so).
Auto so no start/stop - thankfully - I hate that feature.
No problems with battery. Car has been away on long trips twice in 14 months.
Personally , if I had the auto stop/start, I'd always turn it off - especially in winter - I'm sure it saves the planet, however i remember all those years of oil adverts saying the highest wear (and battery draw!) was when starting up.

Hi DWB1873,
Even if I had switched stop/start off battery would still be draining due to amount of short journeys. I would probably have went to my car one day and battery would be dead.
