I have only just ordered my MINI, so I haven't been able to test that properly, let alone compare it with the automatic.
My reasoning for going for the manual air-conditioning was my intended use. I promised myself last summer that my next car would have air-conditioning. As a rule, I don't like to have air-conditioning on for long periods, so I imagine that I'll just use it for quick blasts of cold air on the hottest of summer days. I'm hoping that it will do something to cool the car down when the car's been parked in the sun for a while. |
