Technical Has anyone noticed....

[Big Black Stilo]

When cornering in winter, (and the car is lovely and warm inside) if you have your hand on the gear stick, you get a blast of cold air in that area?

Only noticed this on extreme 90 degree type turns but none the less it worries me.

If no-one has experienced this do you know what the fault is?

Haven't noticed it but it's probably coming from under the gearstick where it exits under the car.

I've noticed the Stilo isn't the best at warming your tootsies, and yes whizzing around corners you seem to loose the hot air! Think i might have just been a bit too used to my Diesel before it.

Ive noticed this in all the cars ive driven, be it Fiat or Rover. its just the shift of air thats still cold in an area of the car. Usualy for the first 10 mins or so while the cars interior area hasnt fully been heated up in every area and the gear box area doesnt really have any heating around it

This happens to me on more or less every corner which i take at quicker thann 30mph when its cold outside. also the draft that blows through the door handles is really bad when theres a side wind, so my left hand gets cold on the gear stick and my right gets cold from the draft through the door handle. lol. i will have to buy some stilo gloves

Ive experienced this too, always just put it down to something to do with the heaters (not sure why seeing as its cold and coming from round by the gear stick.........but ive learnt to not question where my logic comes from!!)

I think you all have some kind of illness or is it a spooky ghost?

Never get cold hands in the mini, the heater is stick on hot regardless, so your feet and hands are always scalding hot.

I have never experienced it, tbh! Car is cold when I drive it off in the morning, but soon warms up once I boot it.
