I've noticed that when my A.C. is off, there's always a small amount of hot (ok, warm) air coming out of the air conditioning vents, as if engine heat was seeping in through the vents. Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed this? I haven't had this happen in any other car..

If you put on the recirculate mode and have temp on cold you will get no warm air.
You can also turn temp down and leave the car use its flow thru ventilation.
This is normal on most newer cars

 

Yes I too have noticed this. Without air on and control **** set to cold. The car tends to be warmer than other cars. At times uncomfortably warm, I usually crack the windows a bit to offset the effect.

 

Thanks for the info. Looks like you both have the manual A/C, as you mention turning "*****". I have the auto climate control, and I think this might make it worse as I have no way of "physically" adjusting airflow or temperature. All I can do is turn it off and nevertheless I always get that steady stream of warm air coming in through the vents.
I wonder if anyone else with climate control is experiencing this...
