- Cali now sold
Just for balance I'll put forward a counter view but travelling with four all through Euro summers in August I have never experienced this and the temp seemed very pleasant and even throughout. The standard Cali AC is pretty good IME.
But I agree lots of options (that you get on most £15k hatchbacks these days) should be standard on a Cali given the price - cruise, reversing sensors etc.
How much time did you spend in the back...?
AC in the front is great, but cannot fill to the rear of the vehicle. It’s a design from the VW panel van, which only has front seats or a bulk head.
This is where things don’t add up. Because the Ocean has rear Climatic as standard. Like Volkswagen admits it’s something that’s required, but then makes it an option on the Beach...???
From experience i wouldn’t touch a secondhand van without full Climatic, because it cannot be easily retrofitted if at all.
