[Vwdiesel] RE: 190 Benz

Coming from Texas, you must be speaking mainly of the A/C. I've always found the 
heat in A2s to be quite good. I like how the right combination of vents is amazingly 
good at keeping all the windows clear, not just the front and rear. It amazes me how 
many cars, even newer models, can't keep the windows clear - this would drive 
nuts...
