Heating in Roadster

[WelshBoltonBen]

Bit of advice needed from those in the know. Experience of the Aston this time is far more positive that 1st time, and loving the roadster. The only issue I have is the heating in the car. Is this known to be useless with the roof down, or does mine have a fault. Wherever i 'place' the heating - windscreen/face or feet it never really seems to get warm with the roof down - especially on the feet! Feels like an asthmatic ant blowing through a straw!

Is this just a foible of the Vantage roadster, or is there something under Timeless i need looking at? Also, I havent got heated seats due to having the lovely lightweight seats fitted which incidentally are excellent!
Thanks all

Have only used mine a few times with the roof down on cold days but not had a problem, if anything I have found directing heat to the floor your feet get very hot whilst the rest of the settings the heat is noticeable but not great. A big improvement over 40mpg is using the wind deflector.

Reminds me of a date on went on a while back, despite wearing a light dress and the temperature dropping she wanted to put the roof down on the way back, after about 15 minutes I asked if she was cold, she replied no, I said “you look it”... deadly silence...

I would get your heating checked out. With the roof down, put heated seat on, turn the temp up a bit and direct the air manually to feet and and mid level vents, its more than warm enough mid winter. So long as its dry, on a fine day I will have the roof down at 5deg no problem.

A hat and gloves are useful on real cold days, as it does not have a heated steering wheel, I find my hands may get cold
