I have to agree. I love my Element because there’s no extra junk on it like heated seats, auto climate control, navigation, etc.
And I can clean the whole thing with some paper towels and a bottle of diluted simple green. No, you can’t hose them out.
Being quite old, I never had a car with heated seats and didn’t even know they made them until I went someplace with my daughter in her car....after about 5 minutes I yelled, it feels like I wet my pants...she laughted and said it was a heated seat...
