Default Heated seats in '11RX

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has noticed that their heated seats in their RX's are weak in comparison to the 2nd generation RX's?
I have my RX at the dealership due to the door handles rusting, and I got a Camry as a loaner, very nice car.
But what I noted is that the heated seats in the Camry were far warmer and faster than my '11RX, it reminded me of the heated seats in my '05RX.
I just wanted to hear about other people's feedback,
Chris

This is normal for your RX. My 14 RX is weak on the heated seats.

The heated seats in the 2RX were slightly better but they're decent in the 450h. Good luck with the door handle repair.

Hopefully I can get both of the issues resolved.

I received by RX back today. The rusty bolts on all four door handles were replaced and body panels cleaned of rust stains.
As for the heated seats I was told they were operating normally; I was a little disappointed in this.
