Default Lexus:Best A/C, Honda:Worst A/C....what do you think?

Even though there are some problems as our LS getting older, but I think Lexus still have the best A/C. I had an 95 Accord V6, and the A/C is heater during the summer time. I went to Las Vegas last summer with the Accord, and the A/C shut off by itself.

I had a 92 Accord and the A/C sucked. I gave the Accord to my son when I got the Lex.

When it was 85-90 degrees outside I felt like I was 80-85 degrees inside.

I put a long neck thermometer down the throat of the center air exaust and it read 40-45 degrees comming out, but I think the cabin leaked like a sieve or something. I was never comfortable.

Default Lexus A/C

If you live in an area where the typical daytime OAT doesn't decline below about 55F then the Lexus A/C, climate control, is perfect. But if you live in a climate wherein you need heating or window/windshield defrost/defog/demist then you might learn the hard way that the Lexus system has some VERY serious design flaws.

But if you limit this discussion to A/C, strictly cooling mode, the Lexus system isn't perfect, but certainly up to the task at hand.

Ohio isn't as hot as CA, but I've had three Accords, an '88, a '91, and a '93 that I still have, and the AC has been fine in all three. It did fail in the '88 after 7 years, and I sold the car with it not working. It hasn't been hot enough for me to compare the AC in the '99 LS400 that I just bought.

well when you compare designs, i dont like the 92 ls climate control defrost system..not my style, but the air does get pretty cold, in my 94 accord EX it is awesome and cold, my 92 accord ex(sold) had incredible A/C that froze me.. the 94 isnt as good as the 92 was
