    The fan speed in my vRS is controlled by some maniac who lives in one of the many electronic black boxes. I don't know whether he/she takes road speed into consideration or not, as I usually turn the fan onto manual after the abovementioned maniac gets too excited and turns the fan onto full speed within a few seconds of starting the engine.

    I have similar disagreements with the auto wiper controller in light rain (usually too sensitive, even with the adjustment switch in the "least sensitive" position).

    Sounds like the mkv Golf. Almost deafening when flat out trying to cool the cabin quickly. But it does slow down when stopping at traffic lights for example.

    That makes sense - the Octy II and the Golf 5 share a lot of components, especially the behind the scenes HVAC and electrical stuff.

    Our last two BMWs were exactly the same. Obviously it's good German engineering at work here and we just don't understand.
