Do you prefer to be cool or hot when driving? What is your ideal tempearture in your car?

Do you have continual arguements with your passengers over the temperature in your car?
 
Cold, usually drive with at least the drivers window open in any season. Passengers usually whinge a little bit, but the missus is OK she prefers it cold too. I can't stand it when it's chucking it down so I can't have my window open!
 
I keep it about 19 in the Winter and 21 in the summer. My wife likes it a lot warmer than this. Thankfully our keys remember our aircon settings.
 
Thankfully dual zone climate control has become mainstream, the rows this potentially saves must be massive!
 
Dual zone is useful but you can only have a couple of degrees difference left to right. My 5 series had the stratified top/bottom arrangement in addition to dual left/right zones. Basically you can get either cool or hot air from the dashboard face level vents depending upon preference. Even the rear passengers could separately adjust the temperature of the rear face level vents.
Very complex system indeed but it worked superbly and faultlessly.
 
I have dual zone and full climate control in my car, a marvellous invention :)
If driving on my own then the winter setting is around 21 to 22 degrees, if her indoors is in the car with me then its 23 to 24 :(
In the summer the AC is given a proper work out as I love it cold.
 
A sound proof partition would suit me. The MIL insists on constantly narrating everything all the time.

"Oh look at those cows in the field eating grass. Wow he was going fast. Look at his number plate, Eat Lunch Now - it ends ELN well fancy that. Do you want a sweet. Oh look more cows in the field. I think it's going to rain later. Ooh look a police car, I wonder who he's going to arrest"........ .V(
 
My mother in law was like this, stating the plainly bloody obvious was her specialist subject. More to follow elsewhere.. .. .. ..

Her indoors is like this also.....Oh really my dear, a cow? and I thought it was a sheep in disguise! ?-/
 
:lol: If someone says oh look at those sheep, you can reply with, no they are not sheep they are just very low small clouds! ;)
 
I used to point out [to my MIL, who sadly died of pancreatic cancer in June 2014] the fact that cows and sheep are not native to the British Isles and that if we all went vegan there'd be no pretty cows and sheep to look at in the countryside :p

wont matter if you drive a cobra or SLR Stirling moss, as a matter of fact, you can enjoy the face winding on the SLR
