My brother had a Golf for almost 18 months, before finding out it had air-con.
He only found out it had air-con because he was moaning at me about how long it takes the screen to clear.
I told him to just flick the a/c on & press the ‘windscreen’ button. After 5 mins of:
‘but my car doesn’t have air-con’
‘yes it does’
to-ing & fro-ing, we went outside to his car & I pointed out the button with AC written on it, amongst the ventilation controls.
He exclaimed, “but, I’ve never needed to press that button” or something equally ridiculous.
It was a Limited edition Golf Match; the ‘limited edition’ bits were metallic paint, alloys & air-con & I seem to remember were what swayed him to buy the car at the time. 😆
