I used mine for the first time yesterday. Within 2 minutes from startup my buns were nice and toasty on the highest setting. Middle setting seemed to be fine too. Heat is definitely concentrated towards the back of the bottom cushion and lower seat back.
Not quite as hot as the seat heaters in a CR-V, but I think they'll be fine.
... and how I wish Mazda gave steering wheel heated option!!Mine also get very toasty. When it's cold I just prefer to have the chill taken out of the leather, not looking for therapy. Having said this, these seats get very warm quickly and I'll turn it down to two then one then off as they are plenty warm then. They perform pretty much the same as my Nissan Frontier.

A pair of winter driving gloves does wonders for cold hands. You can store them in that compartment, what's it called? Oh yes! The glove box!

The climate system does wait for the engine to get warm enough to actually heat the air before the blowers kick in. It's really a nice feature.The seat heaters are useless until you put your body weight on them and start driving.
The seats don't heat at all when starting the car with remote start and idle for 20 minutes on a cold day.
Also, the heat doesn't blow at all until it is driven for a couple minutes either.
Does anyone else agree?
It's really a nice feature.
I'm not. Why would you want cold air blowing on you in the winter while you're trying to get warm?Please tell me you are being sarcastic
