You don’t need heated seats unless you have leather seats. I’m Canadian you folks south of the border don’t get that cold compared to us.

I've had a mazdaspeed6 with cloth seats and no heated seats. It sucked during DC winters. I love my heated seats.

that ones missing Bose also. Heat seats came in the Euro and JDM FK8's, I don't see why they would pull them now. Parking sensors are definitely standard.

I don’t think any FK8 had heated seats regardless of market

The heated seats logo is illuminated there, at the far right of the AC controls

Lmao, RHD gets all the good shit again

It also has an alcantara steering wheel. Since it’s a LHD, my guess is it’s destined for the Canadian or EU market. The US market isn’t getting alcantara or heated seats for sure.

I actually prefer leather over suede wheel. I was going to replace it with the si wheel if it came with it. If you dont wear gloves, suede wheel gets gross.

Suede steering wheel are disgusting after a while, just full of grease and skin cells. Gloves get nasty too.

sounds okay, honestly no 4banger turbo sound has me lusting for it other than maybe some rally cars.

Alfa 4C, AMG A45, and any of the current 2.0 Hyundai N Vehicles are good honorable mentions, sadly I don't think the K20C1 (updated version or even aftermarket) will ever be anywhere as good.

But agreed, any 4pot outside of motorsports is typically going to land on the meh side. Porsche learned the lesson in a very expensive way.
