Mines not great in my opinion. I do know modern cars are sometimes less cold due to economy, but interested in what others think. Is your cold, tepid or freezing?

So so really i wouldn't say it is as cold as some cars i have driven but it is colder than outside. I have climatronic the one with the digital display so it keeps the temp at what i set it to.

Agree my merc is tonnes better ... I actually thought it was faulty. Still might get them to check it out.

Air con guy who serviced my other car last week gave an obvious tip that i hadnt been doing. Drive off and open all the windows to blow the hot air out before turning air on. Obvious i know ... I hadn't been dong it though.

It is a handy feature - not sure it will do my ipod any good in there though :)

Better than it overheating though! If I leave my iPod in the car when it's warm I have to disconnect it for a couple of mins until it cools down before it will work.
