The Mustang warms up extremely fast compared to my van, so no worries! I run the van 10-15 minutes when cold out before going outside.

Two different things to me. Warming the car beforehand helps speed things along but the seat is still cold and so is the steering wheel.
Of course, since the seats are cloth, they aren't as bad as leather and a cover can help the steering wheel.

I cheated and installed the Alcantara GT350 steering wheel before it became expensive. That plus the cloth seats means it only takes a couple of minutes to get comfortable.

I didn't know my car had a heated steering wheel until i remoted started the car below 50 degrees and that triggered the car to heat the wheel on a remote start. Now im questioning if i want to switch it for a carbon fiber one.

I have never used the heated seats or steering wheel. I managed for many years without them, so I just never think of it. There are many posts about warming up the engine for extended periods of time being bad for direct injection engines. You are supposed to just drive normally after warm up of about 20 - 30 seconds. I don't remember the reasoning. Obviously, ice and snow on the windows will make that impractical.

Gen 3 cars run Port injection only on cold start, so no worries about letting it warm up and getting carbon deposits.

i love my remote start....

Heated seats? we live in jax... i may use the heated seats in july at 100 degrees outside just for the back pain lol, but never because its cold...

Heated seats and extra crap just make the car slower... Lol.

I have a couple other luxo cars with all the comfy bells & whistles.

I am perfectly content with the cloth seats and remote start here in Minnesota. I've never found myself dying for heated seats or a heated steering wheel at any point.
