I have manual heat and if I hit the recirculate button and turn it to red, I can bake muffins in the car within 5 miles of start-up.
Turbo cars have great heat. Not-so-great a/c though.

 

My cabin fan isn't all that loud, but the auto heater seems to favor higher (and therefore louder) speeds.

 

when I take mine off auto setting and onto setting where arrow directs air toward you (from ac vents) it gets super hot, super fast.

 

mine does that, too. What's the deal with that?

 

mines great, warms up quick and then burms me toes off....

 

I turned mine up on the way home today; it got hot enough to burn my fingers using the dash vents. And that was using the outside air.
I mean I couldn't keep my hands on the wheel.

 

Don't think I'll ever use the heater here in Hawaii. Will have to wait until I (if and when) move back to the mainland.

 

My heater works great here in Albuquerque, just got over a little cold spell here and made a whole 50 degrees outside today, has been averaging 20-38 degrees lately. I Just set the auto to 78 degrees and forget it. Heated seats make it almost impossable to get out to walk to work from the parking lot though............

 

Mine works great as well. Best thing is with the auto A/C I'm never blasted with frigid air upon starting the car, nor does it burn me to death once warmed up.

 

50° oh no! :P
It was -1°F (-18°C) here a few nights ago...

 

The AC comes on to take the moisture out of the air so your windows don't fog up.

 

I was a little concerned as well, since my '03 was more direct....put the temp at anything over the actual cabin temp and it blew hot air until the cabin was warm...with this one, if I have the temp at 78 degrees, it blows (subjectively) cool air from the vents. If I bump the temp to 80, toasty hot air comes out of the vent.......problem solved

 

that seem like a good idea..thanks

 

Wierd. I am not seeing anything like what you guys describe. I set Romi's temp to 72F and it keeps the car perfectly comfortable inside. I always drive in short sleeves and when it has been below 30F here, she just keeps it nice and comfortable.

I know when the Wife unit rides with me, she has to have it set to 74F and it just about bakes my feet! The Wife goes, "What's that smell?" I reply, "Nothing honey, it's just the soles on my tenny runners melting."

 

That's another feature I like about the auto A/C. Hate foggy windows!

 

I have the auto a/c but set it to HI with the Recirc On and the blower at #3, the car usually is warm after 5 mins.
