Comfort & Convenience Package or 20-way Ventilated Seats?

[FooFighter]

Greetings. New here. I’m looking at leasing a Touring. I want to keep the car price below $80k. There were a few inventory cars available. One with the Comfort & Convenience Package. One with the 20-way power ventilated massaging seats.

The only thing I care about in the C&C package is the heated steering wheel. Other niceties in this package are nice to have but can definitely live without them.

The only thing I care about in the 20-way seats is seat ventilation. How are the massaging seats? Is it only vibration or there’re are kneading involved?

If you could pick just one, which one would/did you pick? I’m in northern Illinois.
Thanks!

I don’t have the massaging seats but had a loaner with them and now want them badly. They are amazing and have kneading. That said, the auto opening frunk and trunk are not things I’d want to be without

I love the massaging seats and still use them almost every time I drive 2.5 years later. There is a kneading mode.

I love the massaging seats. I am so glad I got them as my one splurge on an otherwise base car. The only thing on the comfort and convenience package I miss is the power frunk... but otherwise not having it is a non-issue for me.

Massaging seats are way more worth it than the heated steering wheel. Buy gloves

I have the 20-way massaging seats in my 22 AGT. My wife's 24 AT does not. Not only the massage function but the additional adjustability is worth the price of admission.

Yes, the ability to adjust absolutely everything about the seats, particularly the side bolsters (for me) is really great. It's so nice to have seats that fit exactly right.

Come back to NY for a winter and still say that.

I have both comfort and convenience package and massage chairs. I did not even know that I had heated steering wheel. I am in Atlanta where winters are mild. We do use massage chairs frequently. I think along with massage you also get ventilated seats

I think it’s all about the use case.
I vote comfort package over massaging seats… only because my use case does not require long trips or commutes.
Having heated steering and heated and ventilated seats in a place that does have real winters and real summer seasons is necessary (IMO)
It’s the best “compromise” in my case.
