Re: What car to get
Heated seats isn't an option I would have ordered but I confess to being hooked. It may be that one can't see out of the windows for the first thirty miles but it's nice to be warm while driving by braille. I haven't tried heated wipers and don't imagine they'd address the problem of the blades being frozen to the shape of the windscreen at the parked position. The Beetle wipers cut two little grooves through the snow for the first half hour of operation and only soften to the right shape after that. Can you leave them heating overnight?

Place sheets of newspaper over your windscreen before you retire for the night. With luck, the next morning, you'll simply be able to lift the snow/frost-covered newspaper off and drive away with a crystal-clear windscreen. If not, well, at least you'll have something to read on the way to work.
