Not even an option. I'd have to have aircon - After having cars with it for the last couple of years I would be gutted if it was gone. There is thousands of them that will have AC. Look for another!

so im not alone then


trouble is convincing her, which will be hard as shes seen it so i know what shes like and she has her heart set on that car. I hope they have an identical one in the dealer group stock that has a/c....

She says shell keep it years unlike me who is always changing cars aparently (ill have to introduce her to Kano. But ive tried to explain resale values and how if she looses her job/health gets worse shell sell up out of necessity SP and shell loose money, as pow said if theres 2 for sale and 1 has a/c then that will be the one that sells.

a/c will have little effect on the clio's resale value.

Yeh I reckon 90% of buyers would rather go for an AC one than without.

I have it in the Astra but dont really bother using it, unless its really hot like has been over the last month on and off. I tend to stick it on for 1 minute then turn it off andhave the blowers on as the air starts to get warmer otherwise it gets too cold. A climate control system I would probably use more

I have it in the C and I love it if I'm honest, didn't know what I was missing, but only really use it on a long run. I'd want it in a new car tbh

All this windows down talk is guff. The car we have at the moment needs regassing so the A/C doesn't work. On really hot days it is grim, even with the windows down it hardly changes the air temperature.

She will regret not having it.

I have it on my car but I don't even use it. Think I've used it like 5 times since I've had the car and mostly due to other people wanting it on. As said I just put a window down. I find aircon drinks fuel aswell, I get like 50 miles less to a tank

Had it in my 2 Mondeos, couple of Vectras and few other cars, never really bothered with it, prefer to just have the windows down, only used it sat in traffic or when I first got in the car and it was like a sauna.

It's great when it's raining too. No misty windows.

That's the best bit. Especially in this country
