I think the dual zone climate controls in these cars sux. My wife is always cold, and I am always hot. So, she will want hot air on her side, and I will want the AC on my side. As you discovered, we both get a blast of tepid air. Fidgeting with the controls and trying different settings got me the cool air that I wanted through the dash, but I swear I was getting her hot air down by my feet.

Here's my suggestion to keep everyone happy. I'll wear shorts and a tee, she can wear jeans and a sweater. And nobody touches the HVAC controls. Those climate control wheels are an embarrassment to the car, by the way. In an otherwise gorgeous interior, you have these silver plastic wheels that are obviously two pieces each glued together. It looks like Revell-Monogram supplied them. I think a pair of one-piece, matte-finish black rubber wheels would have looked a lot more up market. Probably worth the extra nickel. But then, what difference does the appearance of the HVAC unit make, if it fails to deliver?
