They seem to be holding well, and they get hot. The Insight's pan isn't aluminum, it's actually a magnesium alloy to save weight (even lighter than aluminum!). A preliminary test showed that with my 3 heaters, after 2 minutes my coolant temperature rose from ~20F to ~85F, and both engine and transmission block were pleasantly warm to the touch.
