My AC died on me in the middle of summer. Even though it was only broken for 2 weeks, i still missed it a lot. But, while the cars moving and the windows are down, it's usually not bad at all.

Come on down here to Texas in the dead of summer and see if you can still make that statement. 100+ in the daytime and only cools down to lower 90's or upper 80's at night You get in your car after work and its 135+ inside the car....... even with AC it takes my truck 20 minutes on max before it is even comfortable inside. But the trade off is our winters are much milder

My family is from San Antonio. I was there over the summer and i liked it. But summers here aren't pleasant either, the humidity is disgusting. You go outside for 5 mins and you're convered in sweat and stick to everything. Winters are also not bad, but this will be my first winter with my car and i dont know what im gonna do when it snows. I dont think i have the heart to take her out and get her covered in rock salt.

AC FTL. lol. I got rid of it a few months after gettin the car. Turns out i got my car with windows that go down. And im sure people will say well try that in TX or something. But i can tell u that sittin in a car when its 120 out isnt half as bad a building a house in 100 degree weather with 100% humidity. Its liek tis rainin off ur forehead. GL guys!

If I want A/C I'll stay at home on the couch or drive in my truck. A/C IMO has no business in a sports car! On the other hand on my daily driver my windows only come down for tolls and to order food! It's heat or A/C!
