I'm pretty sure the Trendline I tried had heated seats. 
The lack of auto climate control on the base model is a turn off though. My Passat Trendline has it.
Honestly, I don't get the benefit of this auto climate control thing, please enlighten me as to why its a good thing?? The Montero and my Altima had it and I don't think I spent more than a few seconds on auto when I accidentally put the control knob to that setting.
not a deal breaker for me, but i don't mind it...i set it once, and it stays there....i never have to fiddle around with it...not a big deal for short drives, but on long drives, it's nice to have the cabin kept to a constant comfortable temperature...our cars also have the auto-defog feature too, so if the moisture sensor detects too much humidity, it activates the A/C unit to pull the moisture out of the air so the windows don't fog up (like can happen when it is about to rain or already raining).
Yep, I never understood 'auto' until I started regularly driving cars with the feature....set it once and forget it, awesome on those long commutes where the exterior conditions are changing (sun peaking in and out, rain, etc) I am always comfortable.
Not a total deal breaker thou.....I mean, of 9 cars I only own 2 with this feature
That said, if I was buying a modern car to daily drive, it would be a must for me.
