I had the heated seats on the highest setting (3 bars) for the entire 3+ hour drive back from skiing in northern VT. It was barely warm (leather seats, eco mode) and thus a big disappointment. It never got the chill out of my posterior from the -20F summit ski day.

Whereas my VW TDI cloth heated seats, within 5 minutes on the highest 3 setting, it roasts you to where you HAVE to turn it down, and in fact if you don't, it turns itself down after a short time.

The X1 seats stayed on the max three setting for the entire trip, and I barely felt it. The X1 was only luke warm vs the VW bright hot.
