Auto Climate control?

I've assumed the the tempature setting on my 95 993 is part of an "auto climate control" feature: meaning you set the tempature and regardless of how hot or cold it is the car will add heat or cool as necessary to meet that temp. is this not the case on the 993s or is this simply more of a "manual" temp setting? the reason i ask is that it seems to take a while before the tempare hits a comfortable zone and i usually find myself cranking it to max heat on cold days until things warm up or max cool on hot days.
any insight would be appreciated.

I've been meaning to ask the exact same question. The owners handbook is pretty vague on what to expect from Climate Control.
When the A/C is on the fan speed doesn't vary in my car, should it? Could my temperature sensor be faulty?
I can get plenty of cold air by turning the fan speed up but this isn't "climate control" as I know it.

It is NOT an automatic climate control as commonly found in all manner of (lesser?) cars. Our Porsche 993 "climate control" is not very sophisticated and just mixes hot/cold air in an often feeble attempt to keep cabin temp at the set level. It does not change fan speeds nor air outlets, except for the special purpose "big snowflake" & defroster switches.
I guess the engineering time that was saved was used for the design of the engine cover and exhaust heat shields.
However, the heater will begin to melt your sneakers within a 1/2 mile in freezing weather
