I like this thread. Bought a 2013 Lexus ES350 about 4 years ago, has 172k miles now. My first car with heated + cooled seats, and since we go from -30 to 40C, they are both indispensable. Due for a bit of maint in the spring. I have done brakes, front suspension and a few tire changes myself, but the old gal needs to visit a licensed wrench turner for a look under the skirt. I want to keep it for as long as possible, I'm 6'4" and it's the most comfortable car I've ever driven, best stereo too.

Yeah my Hyundai has heated seats and steering wheel. The Heated steering wheel is option you never know you needed until you have it.

I have a 2010 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 that still has under 100,000 miles on it. I feel like I should sell it while it's still worth something.

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

That was when the Tacoma was smaller wasn't it?

I'd keep that truck. :)

Yea.. the only thing I don't like about it is the bed is basically just a bed liner so it's super light. Very squirrely in the rear until you get some weight on it.

The only trouble I've had with it is the A/C went out a few years back and I'm too cheap to get it fixed. I don't feel like working on the Truck in the parking lot of a Condo complex or I would do it myself. I think the pump needs replaced.

My boss in high school had an Audi A6, the whole rim of the wheel got hot, it was amazing. Used to borrow it in high school and get into trouble with tha boys. Kind old guy let an 18 year old me take out his SLK 350 too on the regular - my public road top speed record was set in that car, chasing an NSX off the freeway to the backroads at about 140 mph. And I'm too old to break it now. Anyone else love cars? I think it's my only constant interest from age 3 to 34.

I told my wife to be careful taking garbage can out to street. I am a thoughtful person.

About 10-15 years ago my buddy got a truck with a heated steering wheel, I made fun of him for being a pussy.
Until I drove it.
My next vehicle and all others since have had a heated steering wheel.
I'll never have one without it. lol

My wife's Pilot is our first heated steering wheel. After the first time it sat out in below zero weather and I drove it I looked to see what it would cost to convert my Silverado. $400 is the price for the parts, my wife doesn't believe my comfort is worth $400 apparently.  :no:

We're Toyota/Lexus thru and thru.  That truck will go 400K easy if you keep the rust away.  It's worth more than you think.

Same. We've had such good luck with Toyota/Lexus that I'm happy to pay a little more for them.

Right now I have a 2008 Lexus ES350 with 210000 miles that still runs great.

If I could find a Toyota truck with reasonably low miles I'd be happy to buy it. I had a 1989 Toyota truck that I still regret letting go.
