why would you use heater? your wasting gas. all you have to do is turn the knob all the way to max heat and choose that option that lets outside air come inside the car. the heat from engine will warm you up.

Didnt know that "get a new thermastat" means "hey, when was the last time you changed your thermostat?" but hey, learn something new everyday
now back to the OP, did you get your coolant flushed yet? Im thinkin you may have something blocking coolant getting to our heater core, or something along those lines....also does the fan come on when you cut the heat on?
hahahahaha

When the car is cold, remove the rad cap. If its full, next step.
With the car hot, feel the hoses on both sides of the hot water valve by the heat shield. If they are hot, then you have a stuck or inoperative blend door.
It is not the thermostat if you have 3 bars and the hoses feel hot.
I also highly doubt you have even the slightest bit of clogging or corrosion in the cooling system. On over 600 s2ks, regarless of mileage, the cooling system is always spotless. Mostly in part due to efficient grounding (voltage finds its way back to the battery via wires, not the coolant)
