Car A/C

Summer is almost here and soon it will be very hard to drive here with a car that doesn't have a good A/C.
Tell me guys, from your own experience, which cars are reliable in this case and which would make you bake inside during Qatari summer, even with the A/C on max?

I agree with tya, put some Titanium sun shield on.

You can find them at the end of Salwa Road (not the Ramada side the other end).

Mention iLoveQatar.net there and you'll get a discount (around 250QR)

Here r a few tips,

1) get a compact car, so it will cool down faster

2) when u get in the car open the windows and turn on the ac for a few mins, to let the hot air out.

3) Get a car that has white exterior and light interior, never get a black car in Qatar, it will be like an oven lol.

4) Dont put the ac to the max, it doesnt cool... instead put it on half way.

5) get your car windows tinted.

u get the regular film its pretty cheap like 50-100 riyals at the pepsi roundabout...

vkoll, Lampjohnson & 3m could cost anything from 500-2000 riyals depending on the car and number of windows u need tinted !!!

i know some cars are ok, like i have never heard anyone complaining from toyota's A/C.

about nissan, i guess it depends...my friend has a Tiida and it absolutely sucks :/

i would say from my side that european cars do not have powerful a/c...but then again, this is Doha :o)

If you're looking for a problem, you're probably gonna find one.
