I agree with it feeling like hell in Florida in the summer.

 

You do know that the air temp difference (blowing out of the vents) between 60 & 72 is maybe 2 degrees? On 60 it will blow harder for longer then it would set at 72 even though the temp coming out of the vent is almost exactly the same.

example: set the climate control to 60 and crank the fan speed all the way up, come back 30 minutes later and your car will be ice cold. Do the same thing again but set the climate control to 72, the end result will be the same.

 

i honestly don't care about the number on the screen, i just adjust until it feels comfortable to me, but it usually ends up around 72 - 74. My point was, I don't like a lot of air blowing fast directly on me all the time, so I'll end up with it split between feet and head and on 1 bar, once the cabin is cooled.

 

oh im on the other side, i like the wind, windows open if its nice out, or better yet on my bike. but i don't like heat, i like cold air

 

snowcross, i'm there with you on that.... if it's nice, windows down, sunroof open and lovin it. but, i'll adjust the rear windows to help knock down some of the direct wind on me.

 

I usually open the driver/passenger windows as I start running the AC on auto for the first minute (thus mitigating the fan-in-a-sauna effect of a warm air blasting at me in an already hot car). As it starts blowing cool air I close the windows and set it at 70 (head vent only). As I reach a comfortable temp I usually switch to 72 (two bars) both head and feet vent mode.

 

I am always amazed about how many people dont use the Auto mode. It works really well in this car actually. I don't think I have ever taken it out of auto mode.

I usually have it set at 72 or 70. In the morning when it is using a bit of heat these days, I like 70 (72 a bit too warm). In the afternoon when it is much warmer, 72 is always perfect.

I also don't understand why people put it from 65 in Auto mode "until the car cools off" then set it to 72. Just leave it at 72. The car won't cool any quicker by setting it lower
