Do You Enjoy Your Heated Steering Wheel & Heated Seats?

Zack46 · 01-05-2017, 05:44 PM

This is my first car with the heated steering wheel & heated seats. Absolutely love them!! The winters here in Cleveland are BRUTAL!! Very COLD!! I have had no problems at all with these. For the first time I don't need to where gloves when I drive. I usually keep the heated seats on to a level three option where all 3 (three) orange dots light up. So, my butt is nice and toasty....Other car makers I've SEEN from car reviews have their heated seats set to too hot or too damn hot. In the sixth gen Camaro they are just RIGHT!!
Tonite for example, coming home from work, its 18 degrees outside, VERY COLD and blustery with wind and snow. BUT, inside my Camaro its like sitting in front of the fireplace...............
I tell you something else, it doesn't take long at all for the steering wheel and seats to start becoming real warm.....That part I love the most!!!

Great job GM!

So far so good on both. Seems to be just right and not over the edge on heat. I start my seat on setting 3 then down to 2 the rest of the drive.

No, because I don't have them. I find the engine warms up quickly though and can't complain.

Love both - and they are very well preset when on full.

I was a big advocate for the heated steering wheel. When it was announced I was very pleased and it was certainly a factor in my purchase.

Today I turned it on with the steering wheel at nearly 180 degrees. This was a very different experience as my previous car had the button on the side along with active steering.

Both heat up nice and fast. I could only imagine what a heated steering wheel with suede or Alcantara would feel like.

I had a heated steering wheel on my 2006 Nissan Maxima.... after I got rid of that car I never expected to get it back. It was a outlier feature. Until now with the Camaro and it's awesome.

Both warm up quickly. No complaints. Even the ventilated seats do their job, as advertised.

I also do not run my Camaro when there's ice/salt/snow/other winter related crap. Even though my daily driver has them, I just do not care about heated seats. Even when it's sub-zero here in the midwest I rarely turn them on because my ass/back are never cold. Now, heated steering wheel is a beauty. The Camaro is my first car with this feature and it's a must have form now on. The cooling feature is something I also look forward to using when summer gets here.

It's a generally warm climate here, but I appreciate the heated seats on those few cold days. I tried the heated steering wheel, it's ok, but probably would get better reviews in a colder climate.

Love both! I am not a fan of using the heat, so the seats make me feel warm and comfortable. Like having not to wear gloves when driving. The heated steering wheel in my Camaro works much better than my Cadillac SRX, the SRX is only luke warm at best and doesn't heat all the way around since it has wood on top of the wheel.

mekirk2 · 01-05-2017, 09:51 PM

Right now its top down, heated seats and steering wheel on. That's how I roll here in the south.

Dont like the weather? Check back tomorrow. It will change.

Obzen · 01-05-2017, 09:57 PM

Very much. I thought it was silly being I'm in San Diego but I've used them a ton.

BowtieRocket · 01-05-2017, 10:29 PM

Yes....ive never had them b4 and cant say as it even made a difference when buying the car. Guess im getting spoiled lmao
