Car has half the power with the AC on, from a stop when you first engage the clutch it almost shuts off before it gets going, I hate this but I'd rather have half the power and be cool then all the power and be sweating my cwackage off I guess.

Try that in the SPI with the automatic, especially while going from 0-100+ in short order!! Not going to happen.
I'm the same way, the only time I run the A/C is one day a month or so from April - November to keep the system happy, and when my parents / grandparents are in the car. Even in this heatwave I'd rather put the windows down, turn up the tunes and "drive aggressively". :D

Y'know A/C loss is to be expected, but with the insane temps we've been having in the Greater Toronto Area, even with the A/C off the car is a slug off the line (Can't even manage to get the traction control to kick in when taking off from a light, that's how bogged the car is in this heat :blink: )

What do you mean? When your mom and sister are in the car? Because an ugly mofo like you is only going to pick up hitchhikers. :lol: :lol:
Or maybe it's your boyfriend who doesn't like the wind in his hair :fag:

I remember my Dad HAD to get the Turbo if he wanted A/C for his 1989 VW Jetta TDI. Otherwise it didn't have enough power. I think with the turbo it was 67 hp lol
