By comparison, the Golf had a button for each seat. Push it once and three lights on the button light up (hot). Again goes to medium, and then low. Those seats got about hot enough on "hot" where if they got any hotter, they'd burn you. I hope I can figure this out because the seat heaters were part of why I looked for a monogram. Although, diesels take forever to heat up and these cars get the regular heat going in a reasonable amount of time so it is less needed. |

In mine (RS 2.0) they're up to full temp in ~1-2 minutes. The highest temperature seems to slightly vary slightly, though this could also be my perception of the temperature (core/torso temperature). They don't stay at the temp for very long. • The 86/FR-S/BRZ have a button for each seat as well--not sure if I missed something in what you were saying here. • The hi-mid-lo setup is quite common for German cars (Maybe all European? I know BMW and Mercedes use this setup). If the settings aren't working as they're supposed to, and assuming you bought this from a dealership, take it by and have them look at it. I'm not sure how much heat transfers to the seat covers (or distance from the coils) when there's no seat load, but I'm sure there's a temp spec after X time from the switch being turned on that could be measured with a IR thermometer. |

I hated that honk on my VW anyway. You didn't have a choice and it was obnoxious if you happened to be arriving home late at night.

The aggravating part is you have to have the dealer do it. You should be able to do it from the dash somewhere.

Yea, I know, but it shouldn't be that difficult on a car built in 2012.
I can change about a couple of dozen settings on my 2004 Suburban using the info display and the steering wheel controls. Not quite as many settings, but I can do the same thing on MomHawk's '05 Mustang.

The Doors!
for some reason I really hate the doors... dont get me wrong I like how lightweight they are but damn.. too light for me. The lightest breeze closes the door on me. Half the time I dont even close it myself. I just let the weight of it close or the breeze for that matter lol. Im ALWAYS yelling at people for slamming it.
