Which new cars would those be? maybe those in Hot Climates but certainly NOT over here !!
That sounds just the admans talk to try & sell more unnecessary units to increase Profits.
But lets have a check ...
A - Alfa - Optional on
147 /
159 models, Standard on £20K+ models
B - BMW - Standard on most models {Except MINIs}
C - Citroen - Optional on C1 / C2 / C3, Standard on C4
D - Daihatsu -Amazingly Standard even on the £6000
Charade
F - Ford -Optional on Ka / Fiesta, Standard on Focus & above
Ok, I wont go on, but with a few {mostly Japanese} exceptions, it seems Air Con is still mostly seen as an optional extra, in this country at least, unless your spending out a lot of money.
I just find Air con very wasteful, sapping a lot of its energy on smaller cars at least, for very little gain. It coming very low down on my priorities list when shopping for a car in this climate.
Does it really costs £1300 as an option to put it on a ONE ?.. how come its only a £500 extra on Citroen`s, Peugeot`s, & Renaults ?
{Other than being French}
