I DISAGREE

Our car has been over in Western Australia whilst we were there, and we discovered that the current model A/C is pretty useless. A call to the dealer found out that those in hot climates are complaining about the same thing.

Firstly check that you have the rear a/c turned off altogether (Idrive uncheck rear pasenger and make same settings as driver) That alone significantly increases the airflow to the front.

It is not the initial cool down of the car that is such a problem, it is that the volume of COLD air is so low that having passengers (or our son) in the rear means we sweat in the front or have it turned up so much that the 'less hot air' is roaring out the vents. It does appear to be a pretty weak solution to warmer climates as we had the dealer check all the settings and we had it right.

The temps we were experincing were in the 40's (110'F) and it was causing a problem for us....
