Ok so having the Sri steering which I love, the only heated steering wheels I can find seem to look puffy and from a lower model Mokka. What is people's thoughts on heated vs biturbo?!

Don't you need a tonne of extra stuff to get heated working? If it was simple plug and play then yeah, heated would be good...if you have to spend like another 100 quid on other parts then no point...just stick the blowers on and that will warm your hands haha
