This is the Money saving forum and I reckon air con is not needed in the UK and it does cost fuel to run,it adds weight and there is a cost to maintaining aircon.

The extra fuel cost over a year would be so tiny you would waste more fuel by not keeping your air filter clean.
Air con costs you nothing unless you have it switched on.(even then its not constant)

Thanks jeannieblue.

Actually, I'm a bit worried, because we already signed the paperwork for a Red Corsa Club, and it's been ordered! Now I have to tell him that I need to cancel that order and change the colour, add air con and/or change it from a Corsa Club to a Corsa Design!

Do you think that's ok? I mean, I've never bought a brand new car before. Can you change your mind after you've already signed the order form?

I've not paid any money. My old car is the deposit (haven't given that yet), and the car is being paid for on finance (organised by the dealership).

If you get in quick enough before they actually start building your car you might be able to change it. Nothing to loose by asking.

Aircon will cost you a lot if you leave it switched off, especially when all the refrigerant has leaked away due to dry seals.

your supposed to run your aircon once a week for 30 minutes to keep it in good working order.
