Default A/C question for owners

I was wondering if anyone had issues with their 3rd gen is A/C? It seems like it hasn't been as cold as when i first had the car. Currently at around 6500 miles. Not sure if its just me or I should be concerned about it. Set the auto climate at low and switched the A/C on and off but seems the same. Could it be a leak somewhere I should be worried about?

I don't really notice a difference in mine because I don't use it much (I hate the cold air blowing on me so I open my roof a lot) but my husband had a similar issue with his NX. After a couple of months he doesn't think the AC feels as cold as it did originally. At a recent service appointment, they checked it and confirmed that there wasn't a leak and said it was functioning "correctly". I would just have them do a check the next time you are in.

I currently have the 3rd generation and exactly have the same mileage as you. My A/C temperature seems to be cold enough, but I did have A/C problems for my 2nd gen. Maybe check with the dealer as it's still a brand new car.

My 3IS has 12k miles, and the AC is really cold. No issue here.

I've noticed the same with mine, took it to the dealer and they said it was working as normal.
Only guess i can make is the weather fluctuations.

If you have the mode selector switch set to Eco you will not get the full cooling capability from your AC. Try switching to normal.

25k on the clock, a/c is very cold, after the car had been sitting under the sun all day (100+ F) it can cool down the whole car within 5 mins of driving,
