Crikey, some people are really picky :-)
I too have a 1.6FSI and TBH have no problem about the warmup time. Have you tried pressing the recirculate button so the car is only warming air within the car, not the Baltic stuff from outside?

Yes, I do use the recirculate button now as this improves matters slightly.
My model has the semi-automatic 'Climatic' aircon system.
Interestingly, why do Golfs and their ilk have rotary temperature controls marked in degrees centigrade, indicating some more advanced temp. control system, whereas other cars, including all my previously owned ones just have a rotary control with red/blue gradations on them.
I would imagine that the Golf's is more sophisticated in that the temperature will be maintained in the cabin, according to what is set on the dial?

does it have climatronic? this appears not to wont to work till the car has reached a pre set temperature.
1.6FSI has climatic (standard AC)as standard, climatronic (climate control) is an option.

My Diesel Citroen C4 takes a while for the heater to warm up. It is climate control. If I set it on "Hi" it takes ages to kick in.

Climatic is a little bit more than 'standard AC' - it should automatically maintain the set temperature, which is why the dial is marked in degrees (rather than just red/blue ac commented on earlier). However all the other controls (fan speed and air flow are manual).
I think this system is fine (my daughter's Ibiza has it)- I've had several cars with full climate control and I always end up using it manually (therefore with just auto temp control).
