Heated Steering Wheel

[Sascrotch]

It's a double edged blade
If you never experienced these features... save your money and stick to what you know

BuT once you've had it, it's so hard to go back
For instance my kia is a 2011 and was 29k back then and has heated steering wheels. Its woukd be really difficult for me to get a vehicle 2x the cost, without at least those same features

Yeah I get that, especially if you're in a cold climate. TBH if I was getting a Wildtrak or BL I'd definitely consider the Lux package for the other features not even considering the heated steering wheel, so it would just be gravy as you say. But since I'm planning on getting a base, I'd be looking at an extra $15k to get the heated steering wheel, so I'll pass and just throw shade on these threads to cope.

Is this one of those old person features that I'm too young and spry to understand?

Ha! You may be on to something. Getting older may lead to poor circulation and "Feeling Cold".

Ask Bernie.

In the past year or so my hands get all shades of patriotic when it's cold. Red, white, blue. Carpal Tunnel surgery has only helped some.
Our new Silverado has the heated wheel and I tried it back in December finally, thought it was too "extra" really.
Until I tried it.
Man oh man what a difference it makes.
Now I really can't see spending the extra $ for Lux just because of it, so I didn't. But I'd pay a few Benajmins to add it after the fact if it were a B&P option..

Heated steering wheel is a $523 stand alone option on the base Honda CR-V, which starts at 24/25 grand.

thanks again Ford!

I didn’t want to whine, but I am really tee’d off about the lack of heated steering wheel as a stand alone option... or at least packaged with the High. I’d rather after-market my stereo than an overpriced, underperforming B&O. But what really gets me is crap like... I want a manual. Your super smart cruise control does nothing for me. Yet I still have to pay a fortune to upgrade from High to Lux?? Really just for a heated steering wheel and a sound system I’d value at $1000 (to me)... $1500 MAX (if it actually performs decently)

CR-V comes with some great stuff like listless apathy, a crippling fear of the speed limit, and optional AWD!

I typically work outdoors in the snowbelt. It feels so good to get a little heat to my fingers every time I drive to the nearest portapotty. It's the little things.

I have learned that a fabric cover works wonders. It's supposed to heat, but stopped after two weeks. Too much trouble to take off, so just left it on. Even below 0 I don't notice it being cold.
