Aircon

[dcmpriory]

I wonder if I could have some advice on getting Aircon. First of all do any of you lot own a T350c without Aircon? It it a pain in the bum? I noticed one thread that said it was a MUST HAVE. Basically if I'm looking a second hand model should this be a main consideration point?

I have been suitably warned that this affects resale value, is totally not good for the driver and is a big no no.

I have A/C on mine. A lot of heat seems to soak into the cabin, and I'd probably bake on a hot day if it wasn't for the A/C.

IMO it is necessary and I wouldn't buy without. (Sorry to those without.) I believe it can be retrofitted for the cost of the original option so it's not the end of the world.

I drove a T350C last Saturday and the aircon worked really really well. I was quite surprised!

Mine has no aircon, didn't use it in the Tuscan, and would rather put the window down in T350.
No problems as yet.
Car feels great with both windows down on a sunny day, however did put them up to remove some joker in a Golf GTI who put his foot down!
Don't like these boy racers who drive up your a**e when you are minding your own business.
Aircon IMO is not a must, but may/may not affect resale.

It's not essential, but I'd rather have it if I was ever sat in traffic...

With the Tuscan, you could live without it but I personally wouldn't with the C.

ok stupid question but I cannot remember when I looked........does it at least have one of those cold/hot air circulation facilities?

[R9TUS]

Yes, it blows hot air from vents at windscreen and cold air from vents on passenger side and at steering wheel.
Works very well.
Cold air is COLD even on hot day!

Very funny!
I do have to say that no aircon does not take away my enjoyment.

I have noticed that, even when I have air con off and the heater on hot,, there is still no hot aire coming from the passenger side and steering wheel vents (the middle vents, not the screen and foot ones), is this normal??

I found that when I got my Tam last month.
Dealer told me that the middle vents are COLD air only.
Thought there must be a heater hose off somewhere behind the dash
