Car A/C system Quality - kal
Gentlemen, my question concerns car a/c system quality. How do you know how good or poor a cars a/c sytem is. I live and work in the UAE and when buying a car this is a vital issue. As a rule of thumb most Jap (as expected) and german systems see good. However is thier a scientific way of telling if a car marker has invested in a good quality design or has fitted the a cheap system that will struggle when tested.

In my opinion the strength of a system will be tested when a car is fully laden and outside temp is 40c with bright sunlight.

Any comments will be appreciated.

Is the car sold in the US is my test...

If yes: it will be good because US consumers insist.

If no, then probably no good..
