You should try 2 side windows and sunroof fully open in a 12v on a motorway

thought someone had deployed a dragster parachute behind me.

When people have climate control? Is it 'automatic'. i.e. you switch the engine on and the fans kick in really quick until it's up to temperature?

It will do as its the same as mine. Then you just get LOW.

Christ did I need it when I came to get in the car after it being in the sun while I was at work today! Used to be sweating my arse off when I had the Corsa

Air con/climate in the M3 used to stink of public toilets if it hadn't been used for a while.

Also, if you didn't have the 'icycyle' button pressed, the climate would try and work, but it wouldn't get that cold

Same for me, got in it at dinner, was boiling, a few minutes later it was like a fridge. Was annoyed when i got out into a boiling factory.

Thats because the air conditioning isn't on. You can switch it on and off on most cars aswell as the climate. I always have mine off unless its really hot.

Climate annoys me. I don't care what number it is, I either want to be colder or hotter. What annoys me most is if you want to be a bit colder but you get a blast of cold air because it's trying to get there quickly.

Roof down FTW.

The only thing that annoys me about mine, is if its turned right up and i want it a few degrees cooler, you have to turn the dial loads of times, and then it never goes on the setting you want. Damn Seats

On a normal day I find 22 degrees to be a winner.

Mines always on 18 degs, auto, econ mode on unless I need some quick cool down/heat up/demist. I try to use my aircon once a week

Nope, apparently upto an average of about 74 mph, windows down is better for performance, actual speed obviously depends on the car etc, but it's only once you get over the average 74 mph that the air con is better for performance

P.S Aircon is for pussies
