I can only take a couple of minutes with the seat heater on but the climate control is very good at holding temperature at a nice comfortable 22C

I have heating rarely on full blast for more than 5 minutes.

My V70/E39 and the wifes clio all get toasty hot but yes the V70 heated seats really are sweet

I have a Volvo 460 and the heater is very good (guess it must be a Volvo thing

), the hot air coming out the vents nearly burns your hand.

Always amuses me (I'm easily amused!!) seeing other motorists driving around in modern jelly moulds with hats gloves & scarves on chittering away whilst I'm sat in my swedish sauna that is my 940 lol
