I have been reading the Manual (in anticipation of getting the car) and I read about a feature that does not appear to be mentioned in the brochure as either standard or optional, which is the ability to heat air going to the windscreen before the engine is warm.

Is this a standard feature, or is it part of the posh air conditioning pack? If the latter is it available as a retrofit?

This is another example of why I am fed up with the salesman who sold me this car. Had he told me about pre-conditioning the cabin, he could have had 500 more of my pounds without a murmur, but he didn't so, not only has he left money on the table, but he has supplied a car which lacks a significant feature I would have wanted.
