VERY hot...like...almost unbearable if you have it blasting at you. This GM Dexcool stuff must hold and transfer heat a lot better then the regular green crap in all other cars.

Yes it works extremely well. What i like is that is also doesn't take 4ever to start getting warm air, it almost comes right when u start the car! Very nice in the winter

Heater is great- even better than the one in my truck, and that's saying something. A/C is great too.

As far as winter-handling- I came from a 4x4 truck, so I was a little leery, to say the least. But my car did very well last winter. Even got itself un-stuck after being plowed into a parking space at work.
