Heated seats
As all above, if you have them you have the choice if you can find the right car for you with them. Not a disaster if not with the seat pads.

Never had them in any of my zeds, and never felt I needed them.
But then I live in the English riviera and I only drive at weekends.

I beg to differ, I was working in Torquay a few years back and the little roundabout with the palm trees on near the seafront was covered in Snow!
It was the year the main route out was shut due to snow with many people trapped in their cars, think I got through about an hour before it was impassible… near telegraph hill

Heated seats
I use my heated seats sometimes in the winter and I am on the Costa Del Sol where our winters are like your summers Can't do without heated seats in a car with leather.
Another important point to bear in mind the car with heated seats especially a convertible will be worth a bit more and be way easier to sell than one without.

Heated seats
Echoing what a lot of people are saying on here, heated seats are essential for me. I have the roof down almost every time I drive the car. Even in cold weather, with the heater and heated seats going you can get the cabin nice and toasty with the roof down. I have even driven the car with the roof down when its snowing and the heating systems still kept me warm.
But, a different perspective on it: If you're buying a 2-seat luxury roadster, why wouldn't you get all the extras? I would get as many of the options as possible if you really want it to feel like a luxury car. Otherwise why not just get a Renault Megane Cabrio?

Word of advice. For gods sake don’t buy a Renault Megane Cab, we had one and the windows keep stopping working and stayed down, the roof leaked and the car filled up with water. Put me off French cars for life.

I have a Webasto heater in my Z4, so I can get the car "nice and toasty" before I even unlock the doors, but the heating in the seats still gets used (especially the passenger one). Even more so in the steering wheel. But then I like having warm hands (and the swimbo a warm butt )

I drive my car year round in California- i recommend heated seats 100%. They come in clutch when driving at night.

Heated seats
I've managed to source some really good condition MSport heated, electrically operated seats. They are in black/dark blue (still need to check) and I need them in Koral Red, so I will probably just be changing the covers and using the "donor" seats - if that is at all possible. As a bonus the seats also have the seat back pocket which mine don't. I also have the switch panel which has the heated seat switches.
My car is quite nicely specced, even has the top model car audio - but no heated nor electrically operated seats and its the only thing I really miss. Its a mystery to me why the original owner spend so much on other options but not on heated seats? We are all different though eh?!
I'm guessing I will have to do some wiring and a bit of coding but hopefully it is all doable
