I recall my mate getting a car with heated seats years ago. He said his wife didn't like them because she said it felt like she had wet herself.

I agree. Soon gets switched off on road test.

How does something with the weight of a supertanker glide?

My wife's car has heated seats she likes them but i find it gets uncomfortable pretty quick with them on. Only thing i like about them is their good for taking the chill off the leather seats on a frosty day.
As for a heated seat on a bike i cannot think of a time when i was riding along and thought, hmm my arse and ball sack could do with warming up its the hands and feet that get cold with me.

When it's that cold I generally find that my ball sack retreats up to around my lungs

Who are all these people so familiar with wetting themselves it’s the first thing they think of?

I think seat heaters are marvellous. Next car I’m going for a heated steering wheel too.

I don't want to change my car yet as I've only had it 14 years so it's not old enough yet, but when I do, I want one with a heated front windscreen. The only time I usually seem to use the thing is on really cold frosty or icy mornings and I don't just hate scraping and defrosting the windscreen before I can leave home, I doubly hate having to stop 100 yards down the road to do it again.

Yep I'd like that. I'm gonna go for one with the app that allows you to preheat your car before you get in it.

I can't adequately defrost my car windscreen by hand, I can't reach the centre. On those occasions I consider running the car to defrost it necessary for safety so I leave it idling for a few minutes until the screens are cleared. On a private drive not a public highway before anyone mentions it's illegal.

If you buy an electric car you can do that. There's also pre heaters that have been available for decades but you need somewhere to plug them in always thought about fitting one but never got around to it

Our transit vans in work have that, will be standard on all vehicles soon i think.

You are going to get an electric car? You might want to rethink that with the amount of people having serious problems with them

Like when you used to ride with no heated grips before trying them! 

I ride mostly in jeans so my ballsack and arse do get cold sometimes, so I'd love a heated seat and if BMW had them when I bought my bike I'd have specced them in.

 following the Autumn Statement, EV owners will start paying Vehicle Excise Duty from April 2025.

If charged at the current rate of tax, this will cost EV owners £165 per year from the second year of car registration.

Many EV owners will also have to pay the expensive car supplement. This is currently set at £355 per year for cars with a list price of £40,000 or more in their second to sixth years of registration.

The combined £520 tax bill would "wipe out" the current difference in the running costs between EVs and petrol-fuelled cars, according to the experts.
