W/r/t the "Dual" button, I'm referring to there being no "Sync" or "All" button.

No Rain-Sensing Wipers
No Power Folding Side View Mirrors

I thought all GS’ had Heated Front Seats, at the least. Was I wrong?

So Cold Weather Package is needed for the Rain-Sensing Wipers, as stated above, right?

Otherwise, why no “Dual” HVAC Button? Was this recently removed? I dislike dual climate control and often use this button to control all zones at once.

Thanks.

I have the "base" model, but has the following options:

1. "Premium package" - rain sensing wipers, heated/vent seats, power rear shades
2. "Cold weather package" - heated steering wheel, wiper deicer, water-repellent glass, high-intensity heater
3. A bunch of standalone stuff listed like NAV, BSM, IPA, 18" alloys, lighted sills, spoiler etc.

Mine has dual zone climate but it's not listed as a package -- I think it's standard in all GSs. Not sure which package the folding mirrors are in as mine is a 2013 and wasn't available.

MSRP 57K (AWD, 2013). Thinking about it now, maybe I should have ponied up for the Luxury instead, but I'm loving it anyway (first luxury car for me). F sport didn't interest me as I didn't feel the difference (again, this is my first 'nice' car so I was probably making too huge of a class jump already to feel any difference)
