The temperature was in the high 50's when I left for work this morning so I thought I'd try out the seat heater. Spun the thumbwheel to the red side and received almost instant heat in the seat and back. Very nice and I had to turn it down to the lowest setting pretty quickly. During Houston winters I fight having to use a coat/jacket except on the coldest days. This is going to be nice!

I actually think the lowest setting is a bit too hot.

I believe on my 08 RX heated seats are "pulsating" meaning the heat comes and goes with intervals in couple of minutes

I've now had quite a few vehicles with heated seats, and, without question, the heated seats on the ES put out more heat and put it out more quickly, by far, than the heated seats on any of the other vehicles that I've owned. It seems like, within seconds, heat is coming from the seats, and, even on the coldest days, I find myself only using the system on the lowest setting. With the other vehicles I've had with heated seats, heat did not start coming from the seats for several minutes after turning on the seat heaters.

Similarly, the heated steering wheel starts to get warm very quickly after turning it on. I enjoy having heat come from the seats and the steering wheel quickly and well before the car's heater starts warming the cabin after a cold start.
