    I know me and some other 06 owners have complained that our ACs don't blow very cold. Remember that conversation Matt from Fellinis? Anyways, is there a known issue with ACs not being strong or something on 06s or the 06-07 models? Should I bring mine in to get it checked?

    With the heat, and even with the new tint, the AC just isn't doing a good enough job cooling.

    Got any tips I should check for before I bring it in, Will or Steve?

    Thanks,

    -Russ

    For the 06 owners the best way to improve the A/C, is to move to Canada.

    Bring it in, request ME specifically, and state that your AC is not blowing cold on occasion.

    Mine works real well. No matter how long it has been sitting in the sun, within 5 minutes of driving around with the AC on, the car is cold.
