The Savannah has a heating system, you would not buy a car without a heating system. Remember it's several degrees cooler where aircraft fly. And we all operate better at a comfortable temperature without thick clothes on.

The Savannah also has four point attachment seat belts for comfort and extra safety.

Fuel from the Savannah's wing tanks goes into a 6 liter reservoir with floating indicator, when the fuel stops flowing from the wing tanks, a warning light comes on giving you 20 - 30 minutes flying to land safely.
A lot of light aircraft have made forced landings when the engine stopped for lack of fuel. I know of 2 such cases. One was a write-off. The other one was repaired, but I wouldn't like to have had to pay the bill. The French make a light aircraft with a warning light for the fuel, their engines don't stop due to lack of fuel.
My instructor always said we all make mistakes.
This is a big mistake you wont make with the Savannah.

If you do have to make a forced landing (weather, daylight or whatever) the Savannah stall speed 23 Kts, short landing - take-off roll and steep climb out, gives you and you investment a good chance of surviving.
Safe flying.
