Heated front screens

We now live in Dorset after retiring and moving from Chislehurst.

We get a lot of frosts in the morning and the wife likes the Ford because of its quick clear heated windscreen. Any other similar car we should consider which has a heated windscreen?

It's a Ford patent. I think MINI bought it under license for a while, and Jaguar/LandRover and Volvo from having been part of Ford, but that's it.
