The real nitpick I had with the Mk Is in the summer is not the air conditioning but how the hot air gets in. The windows are always open which adds a breeze but that really only benefits those standing near the doors. So what I just do is go around the car and close the windows. The interior does have fans which provide a nice breeze whether you are standing or sitting, which would be taken away from those sitting or in most areas with the windows open. Less noise too. Doing that made the ride far more comfortable for me. Still, I definitely preferred the Mk IIs and the air conditioning.
