My only wish is that they would heat up faster, but sure, it takes time to heat up the elements and conduct up through the pad and leather.
I am guessing that no matter whether the switch is on high or low, that when intially turned on, the same amount of current flows to the elements until the temperature is satisfied, either the higher or lower temperature value. So, if I had the temps Vadis'ed up a notch, they still wouldn't heat up any faster, it would just take longer to reach the new higher setting.
Other than that, I like the default settings.
Side story: One time we were test driving an Audi, and my wife had never experienced heated seats. I sneakily turned hers on. After a minute, I told her that when you are driving the "right" car, you just get this "warm and fuzzy" feeling in your behind. Then she noticed the heat and wondered what in the heck was going on. I am glad we didn't buy that car, or the XC never would have happened.
'04 XC70, Ice White, Taupe. Original owner (196K miles as of may21). 6 wheel bearings, broken ignition switch, broken turbo downtube flange, failed throttle body, many warped rotors, and a myriad of weird crap. Still my favorite car ever.
