If they did it in half degrees it would be 21.5, but they don't. 21 oC is too cold. You're Scottish, you can cope with the colder air. The old Outback was kept at 23 oC..... Errr. ...Mr Zero. Does your Lancer have climate control? Nope, thought not. Just leave the settings as they are please. There is an auto 'leave it that position' button for reason - so I don't need to touch it, ever.. Are you telling me, that at 6:00am, when its -5c outside and you start off, you don't have the heating in "furnace" mode for the first 30 minutes? till your old bones are warmed through? Jeez when the robots take over, yours will be their first scalp. The lancer has fiery heating and (still working after all these years) arctic aircon. It has on knob to control the temperature. Its no hardship to twiddle it. The Volvo (Should be arriving today) has dual climate, I'm sure both of the knobs will be twiddled

Nope - just leave it where it is. Pointless in twiddling. The water in the heater matrix isn't hot as soon as you turn the engine on, so why fiddle? Heated seats - yes I turn them on, but otherwise I leave the car to do its thang...

The point is sometimes you need to be hotter than, or cooler than 21.499999C Go on, live a little, live life on the edge.

19C. That's for the car. 21.5C in the house. Can afford a little extra drowsiness when on the sofa compared to the motorised child crushing machine.

Given the number of cars I have driven with Climate Control, it is clear that for the same person, 19C in one car is 23C in another.
Driving in Israel in the summer, if its not on 'freezing' it doesn't get the car anywhere near cold enough. Anything higher and the car doesn't cool down enough. A/C in the flat is set on 25C. Any lower and its way too cold and uncomfortable. Of course in Manchester, anything above 22C is simply too hot.

I like the car cool and even in the winter rarely go above 21 if I am on my own in the car. My wife & daughter prefer the car warmer in the winter so will sometimes set the passenger side temperature a couple of degrees warmer.

I have the aircon set at 20 degrees. Everybody else complains that its too cold.
Don't use the heating very often, but when I do I raise the temperature to 23 or so.
