Question re: A/C Performance in the FIT
I'm seriously considering purchasing one of these irrisitible cars once I close the sale on my house next week. But I did read one post on here where someone stated that the a/c was not really cold enough.
The combination of a hot, humid climate where I live, plus the black interior of the Fit, and my being very hot-natured concerns me that I will not be able to stay cool enough in this car.
I would appreciate any feedback you can offer in this regard.

I live in AZ
Hi... I live in Scottsdale AZ, near Phoenix, and I think that my air is pretty cold. It takes a lil' time to get real cold, but it does get there. It is already in the 100's here! Hope that helps.

My air seems to work pretty good. I actually had to turn it down once because it got way too cold. But like the other two Hondas I've had, I have noticed having the air on really takes the power out of the car. Not a big deal for me, but just thought I'd mention it.

Also, the AC will feel cooler in a humid area.

You know, Bukwheat, that is simply excellent advice.
The thing is...I have no patience whatsoever, lmao, and want that car YESTERDAY!
ETA: big_FIT, thanks for your imput, too. Hmmm, I wondered if tinting might be of some help. Is that the main reason people do that, other than the privacy issue?

It helps the temperature stay cold on summer and keeps warm on winter and blocks up to 98% ultraviolet rays. Also prevents glass from xploding in small pieces all over in accident and keep a good privacy and helps keeping fabrics. Give more value to the car. anything else ?

that's hot.
another thing to consider is what you're driving now vs. a shiny new honda. i drove jeeps for the last ten years and let me tell you that the Fit's AC is downright arctic compared to my former cooling systems. it's super muggy where i am and i swear i haven't put the air above the 2nd fan setting (yet). soooooo...it could be all relative...which means you should get a fit! there. that sums it up nicely!
