Mine is cold as Ice in my 2015, after 10 minutes even if the car is baking in the hot sun all day , i would have to take it off auto to lower the fan speed.I always set it to auto when i get into the car on a very hot day.

2013 GS 450h on eco and s-flow in Florida. No complaints. The "cooled" seats even work after about five minutes. Leave it on 70 degrees and it is fine.

80-95 degrees in Cali these days and I keep the AC between 71-73. Sometimes I set it at 70 but it gets too cold.

my 15 cools better than any car I've owned. I can feel it almost before I even pull out of the parking lot of work in the evenings. I do have tint and I use reflective sun shade in the windshield, but hot is hot. and it's been 90+ the last few weeks, with terrible humidity to boot. I leave it set to 73 and full auto....it never disappoints.

80s and 90s here recently in southwest Ohio, but I've been really impressed with how quickly the cabin cools off. Usually bounce between 73 - 76 with Auto setting and S-Flo enabled, driving in anything but ECO mode. Hoping once I get some tint added it will be even better, AC won't have to work as hard.

It was 100° here in Dallas today and I had to be treated for frostbite due to the car's A/C being so cold!

I sometimes switch to Eco mode immediately so that the AC doesn't freeze my face off.

Use your remote, and lower all the windows, before you get in, you'll get the super-hot air out, and won't sit down in a steam bath.

The AC in my ‘15 is pretty cold. I’d get the system checked out.

So I do think it is pretty cool to lower all the windows and open the sunroof with holding down the unlock button. I just wish there was a one button close everything all at once button as well. I only have so many fingers. May I ask a pretty stupid question. How do I unlock all the doors when I reach for the driver's door handle. I can obviously unlock mine, but is there a setting I am missing to like touch the handle twice to unlock all the doors? It seems to lock them all if I touch the door handle too much. I know, read the manual. But it is locked away in the glovebox and I am just too lazy.......

MENU > SETUP > VEHICLE CUSTOMIZATION > DOOR LOCK SETTINGS

Select doors to Unlock

When using Smart Access to unlock the doors:
􀋘 Gripping the driver door handle will unlock the driver door. (Standard) = Driver’s door
✓ Gripping the driver door handle will unlock all doors.= All doors
