My fiancee has a '96 Mazda Protege, compared to my '93 90S.
Both have R134a refrigerant, but mine can put frost on
your fingers, even on a hot day, while her Mazda barely
cools off on a hot day. I believe that the Mazda is either
over or under charged (haven't had time to have it checked).
Whatever the case, I think a lot can be said for the
Audi system without the climate control, mine uses the
knobs and I love it. One thing I experienced with climate
control systems that I hate, when you turn it to defrost,
the fan kicks up to the highest speed and there is no
way to adjust it. During the winter, it is sometimes
necessary to have defrost on at all times, but not at
full blast. Another advantage to the manual system, I
can split the air flow between defrost and floor without
any major problems.
