+1 My seat heaters are GREAT with the Nappa seats. During below zero (F) temperatures a few weeks ago, the car was left parked outside while I was out. After returning 4 or 5 hours later, the seats would get very hot within a couple minutes on the highest setting. I then had to turned them down to the middle setting because they were too toasty hot.

Regarding heated steering wheels, my last 3 daily driver cars, before the current S4, had this option. My observation is that when it gets really cold, they are a great luxury….very nice indeed. However, I never thought about it unless the temperature was below freezing and the cars were sitting outside for long periods.

Looking at the current S6 configurator, the heated steering wheel is bundled with rear seat heaters in the "cold weather package" for $500. Living in Michigan, I would certainly go for this option on the S4, if it were offered. In a more civilized climate, I don't think I'd use it enough to warrant the cost.

Looking forward to the B9 S4 having the heated steering wheel and rear seat heating options.
