heated steering wheel = park in the sun
heads up display = drive to the conditions and don't worry about the dials

Our Highlander has a heads-up display and backup cameras. I rarely use them.

I have a heads-up display in my BMW X5. I turned it off.

Had a day-long test drive in a Mazda CX-5 with a heads up display. I really liked that feature.

I never thought I would like one but after using it I loved the heads up display.

That displays in the windshield? I think I'd find it most distracting. I turned off lane assist as well.

On the ones that display on the windshield, the images seem to be floating just ahead of the car. Not distracting at all. Takes about 10 seconds to adjust to it.

I have head up display in my Nissan Rogue, and I have come to appreciate it very much. It tells me the speed limit on any road I am traveling on. It reminds me to stay within the speed limit.

I was driving the Maybach with nav turned on.
The heads-up was showing detailed turn instructions along with current speed.
The display behind the steering wheel had radio information and the right hand display had the larger scale map info.
You have the details you want without having to take you eyes off of the road.
