    Sell it and buy one with it, too much cost and messing around involved. €1500 plus and won't ever be like factory fit.

    a 2015 corolla came with no air-conditioning? I'd have to see it to believe it.

    Paddy-Spec VRT special, just another reason not to bother with Toyota.

    The poverty spec ford ranger doesn't have a/c either iirc.
    Likewise with some Dacia's.

    It's not just Toyota.

    In that class at that stage - it pretty much was only the Corolla that didn’t get AC.

    That said, fair play to them, if they can sell them them with basic spec they’re doing something right.

    It's nothing to do with Toyota it's all down to people only caring about the rectangular piece of plastic attached to front and rear of the car.

    Also since its starting to warm up so we'll soon have the air con regas thread and numerous posters will reply saying that you don't need AC in Ireland! If people don't think you need air con then they will choose a car without it.

    Speaking of air con threads .. I had mine regassed in January when there was snow on the ground. I think they had to dust off the machine when I rocked up.

    Worth pointing out that they’ve made it standard in the meantime, along with an awful lot of other stuff. but a base Corolla 1.6 is now a €26k car, so Avensis money a few years ago.
