Default Fantastic A/C

The weather is getting hot in the Mid Atlantic. Since I bought my car in early Fall, I never drove the car in 90 degree weather. Well, the ES's A/C is fantastic!! I give it a perfect 10!!

I thought the same thing, the best ever AC I ever had and it blows a lot of cold air too. I give it a 10 + also

I will have to agreed. The AC is great. I also set to the lowest setting and it is way too cold already. Today here at NYC, the weather was near 90 degrees and I drove the family around and they were all impress on how comfortable it was in the car. Little do they know that me and the front passenger have the AC and the cooling seats.

I live in Savannah and let me tell you the A/C is up to the task in our hot weather. It absolutely blows you away. I'm constantly raising the temp and I like it cold. The best A/C I've ever had in a car.

New Orleans's summer is not in full swing yet, but it did reach 91 recently -- this is the only car where I've actually had to turn the air down because it was too cold in the car. Also, when I bought the car in December I wasn't sure the ventilated seats did much, but I can certainly feel the difference in warmer weather. Definitely a 10!

I live in Miami and I'd have to agree that the A/c is nice and cool but it does take a while to get cranked up to a cool temperature. My 1996 Camry V6 A/C would receive a 10/10 and I''ll have to give my ES350 a 9/10.

OK this one's to all the happy A/C users out there.
I just started using A/C for the first time since I bought my car and wonder if someone can help me.

I feel blowing on my right mid-drift. I can't really see where the air duct that's sending this air is situated.
I turned off the feet vents. So the only vents turned on are the top vents.

I have closed the driver vent near the window. The middle driver vent is also closed + grills down.
The passenger vent (right side) is closed and the passenger middle vent is open with the grill pointing to the passenger.

I have the fan on the lowest setting and temp set at 24C.
I turned the temp higher to prevent the A/C from coming on too soon.

Any ideas? Thanks.

There is air that comes out the back of the console for rear passengers. Maybe there is a gap somewhere and air is leaking out of the console? Or, is your vented seat on?

No vent under the driver's side dash?

My seats are turned off. I'll check the back, next time I'm out.
Thanks!
