Same here

Best AC I've had in a vehicle

Fine for me as well. I often find my right hand starting to freeze after a while so redirect the driver vent a bit higher or turn the temp up.

I'm surprised at how quickly the cabin heats up if I ever turn AC off near the end of a trip, within seconds I want to turn it back on.

You have to close the windows.

Just a question, have you checked that each vent is actually open.?

Yes. I do find that it cools down very quickly don't get me wrong. The ac in the car is brilliant. Especially the right hand thing, gets cold quick.

Yes the car heats up very quick too after turning it off.

It's the fan I have the problem with. My old Jap car used to create a tornado in the car! Would blow my hair away when on full. The R does not.

AC great! Fan not so.

Not sure where you're from originally but tornadoes are generally a bad thing...

You could always try sticking your head out the window

Gold Ryan. I'll pay that one. The AC is very effective, just wished the fan would blow harder.

The dirty in me grinned at this.

Depends on the setting of the re-circ button. If it is in A the outside vent will open allowing hot air to be pushed out initially. After a while the vent will close into re-circ mode giving higher air flow within the cabin. You can control fresh air or re-circ or Auto with the same button.

Low speed & high volume compared to high speed low volume?
