Tough decision....this thread or "daily driver" thread.
Knew about it but didn't use it in the spring-fall former usage.
Today was 1st day as a daily driver....-12*C, clear sunny sky, bare roads. With wind chill, seriously frigid.
Highlight of the day....heated steering wheel.
For those in frigid zones, you owe it to yourself to do a bit of "off season" driving if only to revel in the joy of heated steering.
Windshield, rear window, mirrors all cleared up asap with the system on auto.
Definitely a four season wonder.
Try it, you'll like it.

When I ordered my car, I got the Premium package, which included the cold-weather package (I think). At the time, I thought the heated steering wheel was stupid.
I no longer think that, especially on a convertible. I wish my winter car had one!

Even on the coupe, heated seats and steering wheel allow me to keep the windows open throughout much more of the year. Love that sound.

It could also be ordered by itself, option code F97A.
If you have it your TOPIx build sheet should simply show "heated steering wheel" (although mine shows "heated steering wheels", I never knew I had more than one steering wheel!).

Woohoo, made it through 51 pages of this thread! I don't own an F Type (yet!) but there is some seriously good knowledge and information to be gained here as well as alot of entertainment to be had. Thanks to you all, I am now a JCNA member in plenty of time to still be able to use the discount when the time comes for a purchase.

I am a long time member. My MX-5 is a manual and I've owned at least one manual car for pretty much my entire driving history. I am a big advocate of "Save the Manuals!" but since I want a V8 car that will not be an option for me this time around.
I've never owned an AT. Do I qualify for membership?
If membership means just buying a sticker or two? YOU BET SIR! You made the short shifter. Hell, put it by the unhingd decal, and you are set.

- Hood change for AWD... I knew the vents were moved, but didn’t realize the middle lifted bit is wider with new lines. Not a problem, just didn’t know.
- R (at least my 2018) does subtle overrun backfires even in D / dynamic mode. I knew it would in sport, but my 2016 v6s didn’t (or I couldn’t hear it)
