this is my first ever heated windscreen (despite having passed my test in 1968) and I love it.
I can live with the slight fuzziness caused by the heating elements.
I'd have had to clear the side windows anyway, but I don't have to clear ALL of it.
TBH, it was increasingly important when carrying out comparisons before buying.
I'm a convert...

My 1997 V90 has climate control. This allows rapid clearance of misty screens and windows. I mean rapid! Sometimes I use the heated rear screen which also does the door mirrors. Climate control on this car is the best I have had of all my previous Volvos.

Indeed. Audi didn't offer them in 2015 on the Q5 so -- no test drive ever booked !

A second vote for the V90,however my Jag S type has a heated w/screen and it reduces the driving experience,there is nothing as nice as driving behind a clean windscreen and the Jag,tho a cracking drive has the worst windscreen I have ever suffered.
