Title: Whats better?
Post by: richards golf on 16 February 2009, 18:32

climatronic is automatic air con, as in the climatronic unit, will try and keep the cabin the set temperature.

manual air con, is set by the dial, as in if you're too hot you turn the dial to cold, if you're too cold you turn the dial to hot

climatronic was the more expensive option, but that doesn't mean it's better or worst as it's swings and roundabouts.

Ridg pretty much covered it, climate just means you don't have to keep adjusting the dials and it will adjust it automatically and keep it (or at least try) at the set temperature.

I think climate control is better as I'm lazy.
