LV XR5 Air Conditioning - Weak?

[Riksta]

Well my way of thinking is that the cooler the air going into the aircon, the cooler the air will be coming out. I've heard that leaving the car in the sun can mean the temperature inside the car can be a few degrees hotter, so I figure that by using it to cool the outside air and bringing that inside the car for a while, as soon as the cabin temp has dropped below outside temp THEN flick it to recycled.

In the AU, the recirc air pickup was in the passenger footwell. I used to start the car and blast outside air onto the foot zone, go away and have a smoke in the shade, then come back and flick it to recycled, have another smoke and come back to a car that was a little cooler inside.

You just got to play around, and see what ends up working best.
