Default heated garage floor

I have thought about building a new garage. I am in NY. Anybody have any pros or cons on heated concrete floors? I know it will be more money.

A heated garage floor sure would be nice, wish I had planned that far ahead when we built our house. Even if you had an air heated garage where you turned it on before going out there, the floor where you want to stand/sit/lay will still be burr-cold. The Pex tubing in the floor is the cheap part, and I would definitely put that in regardless. Then there's the boiler system, and the cost of running it. I put the tubing in the slab floor of my sun room, but haven't yet hooked it up to a heating system due to the cost.
