I don't think I've ever been in a vehicle without heat, so I'd still say no AC is worse.

It's 45 outside and if I didn't have heat I wouldn't go to work

Some of our company trucks from up north have no ac, and I can 100% say no ac is worse.

I'd rather be cold than hot...just depends on how cold we're talking. Houston? No problem. January in North Dakota is hateful. Have to start your truck an hour and a half before you leave so it won't be blowing cold air.

No heat.

I used to run with no doors nearly year round.

When it's cold, blast the heat at windshield and it was pretty warm.

AC was overrated.

I had no problem pulling up to a valet in what basically amounted to a tube buggy

I can always layer up enough to stay warm, but I cannot layer down enough to stay cool. Give me A/C all day.

No AC. You can only get so naked to deal with it.

I dont have AC in my Jeep and I dont mind it one bit. However doors stay off for about 8-9 months out of the year. The key is to leave the top on though, for the shade.

No heat will suck. Iced window and no defrost makes your car useless.

No A/C in summer by far. You can always vent the engine heat into your car.

I agree. You can always roll the windows down to move the air around.

But sitting on your arse in the car trying to warm up is the worst.


This. 460 air conditioning works just fine. Worst part in the summer is the sun coming through the windshield--it's like a magnifying glass.

No heat. Its a pain to defrost windows in the morning without it. I use to run an extension cord out to my truck and put a heater in it before I left for work. #struggle

No A/C is worse, and it isn't close. You can make yourself warmer by layering up. Plus, vehicles tend to get warmer anyway when the engine temp increases after a few minutes, regardless of whether the heat is working.

No heater is much worse. I have no A/C in my beater truck and the 2/60 A/C concept works for me.....

I had no AC for a while in college. I dreaded the summer. I never or at least VERY rarely run the heater in the winter anyway.
