    Similar experience today as well. Drove out to Solartint to book the car in and it's a scorcher. Was very very comfortable in car though. I noticed the sunroof cover is vented so I drive with the cover closed and sunroof open so the heat escapes but the sun doesn't get in.

    Well I wouldnt drive with anything open if I have the aircon going.

    You dont want to cool the whole neigbourhood after all.

    My wife would have the aircon on at home and have a window open.

    To get fresh air she said. She doesnt do it any more.

    I wouldnt describe the VW aircon as outstanding either. More like just adequate.

    Last car was a Toyota Landcruiser and it would freeze you if turned right up.

    Havent managed to get VW anywhere near that.
