Default Tell me it isn't true

Hey guys well I was debating on which car I should buy either an SiR, IT-R, or GS-R and I was reading on wikipedia that the IT-R doesn't have air conditiong. Is this true or not? I hate to say it but this might make or break the decision.

No cruise control, that's about the only thing that annoys me with my Type-R.

Not always true. Depends on the R. A/C is over rated.

As a reference, always always take anything you read on wikipedia with a huge grain of salt. The content on that site can be submitted from almost anyway and isn't always moderated as well as it could be.

If air condition is the deciding factor on whether or not you will purchase one, i think you should keep looking for another vehicle. There are plenty of GSRs available out there.... one of them is calling your name.

If you buy a GSR, a part of you will always wonder about and envy the Type-R.

Well, except for the one that the previous owner yanked the AC out of.
