I actually WORRIED about whether it would be able to cool efficiently in this Carolina climate.

My Lexus GX always froze me to death - I mean, until parts were numb. I used to complain to the dealer about it and they would take great lengths to tell me that it was the right temperature (without telling me what it was supposed to be), it was such a sophisticated system, blah blah. It could blast cold or hot air, no problem, so it wasn't BAD, it just wasn't COMFORTABLE.

I have yet NOT to be comfortable in my 2011 35i, hot or cold. No problems. Works VERY, VERY well. Something I was worried about turns out to be a very nice feature.
