Why no climate control? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Chevy seems to be stuck in the mode of"...those things are for up-scale, high end of car lines--like Buick and Cadillac." The only model in the Impala that get's climate control, temp selection capability (even though dual zone is available in lower models) is the top end LTZ. Crazy--considering my base level 2007 Pontiac Gran Prix had dual zone climate control as standard equip.

Maybe I'll just print out a sticker with temp numbers on and pretend its a cc

Just make it look professional!!

All stickers add at least 5hp each!

Not just that but we don't need unnecessary gadgets to screw up.

My best friends -09 vette c6 has a two zone climate control.
Maybe not a big problem but still, it really grinds my gears!

I agree. Even my 05 F150 had climate control.

Dual zone automatic climate control comes standard on a 1LT Impala.

Yeah the dual thing is awesome for a married man. The wife is always freezing while I'm sweating.

christianchevell · 09-08-2013, 09:20 AM

dual zone is a joke anyway, you can just close a vent ..............Yet the entire interior of a car is the climate. So if one person wants it x degrees and one y you get what ever.........., not like oh ok redirect the fan to provide heat here and cooling there and create a vortex sucking the difference between them...............

Ohten · 09-08-2013, 09:36 AM

The overall temperature will still be the same inside the car

RA1987 · 09-08-2013, 09:56 AM

Climate control for what? It's like asking heated seats on a jeep wrangler lol

GMTool · 09-08-2013, 10:00 AM

The car that I traded in for my Camaro had the auto climate control. I did not like the way the AC would come on when I did not want it on. The AC would come on even when it was 30 degrees or colder outside. Also it would always have to be blasting full blast on the fan speed to cool or heat as quick as possible. I like to be in control of the air. I was very happy to see my Camaro had the old fashioned controls.

kevinw · 09-08-2013, 10:03 AM

christianchevvell. i agree. the inside of the cabin is so small, my envoy has cc. but, lets be real, i can have it on 60 on my side, and she can have it at 80, is there really a big difference in the overall scheme of things? just the air out the vents. she still bitches its cold. so, i think, in a small cabin like a camaro, it almost seems silly to have cc. whats next for complainers, little washer squirts for the headlites???? gee wiz. drive the car, roll the windows down and hit the gas!! lol
