Move south? I'm still using mine daily. Nothing makes my lower back feel better than sitting on a warm pad.

My seat heaters seem to get warm enough for me.

Mine get too hot if I leave it on 3. I always have to put it on 2 after a few minutes on 3.

It's all relative, but I'd have to agree-- my basis for comparison is the previous gen. TL. Setting 3 is good for cold mornings, then I turn it down to 1 shortly after, or once the heat gets going.

I find mine less powerful than the ones in my previous car, an Audi S4, but still plenty adequate. The seat ventilation, on the other hand, I find so weak as to be worthless.

You guys say the other cars get so hot it burns after a few minutes... why would that be good? From my minimal use i thought they worked well. I dont want it so hot I have to constantly change the setting.

Because when it's 20 degrees out, I want it to reach max heat ASAP, then I can turn it down to where I'm comfortable.

FWIW, maybe it's best our IS seat heaters are weak. I am thinking the hotter things get, the softer it makes the leather. Which in turn breaks it down faster and wears it out faster. Just a hunch.

Or maybe they are put in weaker heaters because of the thinner/softer leather? I just noticed that the RX and my Accord both had a thicker "leather" than our IS's.

Well at least I know I'm not the only one who thought their seat warmers were a little on the weak side.

My heated seats SUCKED today.

Really wish we could fix this somehow. Have an RX350 and 2 other lexus's that get real nice and hot. Not my IS though.

Benz has great heater in their seats. my sisters 2011 GL450 her seats are like fire haha. whats cool is after like a few mins they go down a setting. thank god otherwise my *** would be smokin'.

Our lexus heated seats are quite weak... on the flip side it has cooled seats too which are not that common in cars yet. pretty sure benz doesnt have that as far as i know
