    You turn them off before it gets to that stage.

    although i do wish mine had heated seats.... especially in this weather!

    Does anyone else feel like they've wet themselves when they're on or is it just me?

    I've heard a couple of people say that.
    I never do.

    They are great at drying you out if you do wet your self.

    I'm with you on this one. Can't see the point - it's not like you're wearing shorts.

    I think I've switched mine on twice in the 4 years I've had my S3. Once to check they worked, after swapping the seats, and once to have a laugh at my friend...

    Even at -9.5 yesterday, the leather was OK to sit on.

    Cheers,

    Alcantara seats are warm in the winter and don't make you sweat in the summer... plus you don't slide around in them ;P

    Thanks

    Ok

    I know it's a personal thing, but I like it for my sore back at times and cold weather

    Those that don't like it im sure don't have it. Alcantara is nice but harder to wipe away kids mess
