Heated windscreen is very high up on my list of necessary options !

Not just for clearing ice/snow but for demisting screen rapidly especially first thing in morning, essential when exiting drive way onto road.

Probably never on for more than a few minutes.

One little thing I forgot to say about the heated windscreen, as mentioned in other threads. The driver can, under some circumstances, see a pattern in the windscreen which can be a little distracting. This can be when headlights are approaching at a certain angle, or when the sun is low ahead of you. I find it can be difficult not to focus on it for a split second. I wouldn't be without it all the same. 

 

I would agree with that, and, once you focus on it once you won't be able to unsee it....

 

But, the benefits outweigh this though, i've got one of those long Halfords scrapers with a squeegee thing on one end, this morning, by the time i'd de-iced the side windows with the scraper, I just ran the squeegee over the front and rears and good to go!

The only time I find it noticeable is with a low sun which seems to refract on the wires in the screen creating coloured halos around the wires.

This, the only car I wouldn’t spec it on was one that had pre heating (so the whole inside of the car is warm)

Not applicable to the Yeti, but the newer models have now done away with the elements you can see, the whole screen now has a coating with no visible lines.
