My girlfriend gets cold under 70 degrees. 75-80 degrees for her is perfect "outside weather". 90 degrees is when she starts thinking it's a little hot out. Going out in the daytime in Vegas last summer in 105 F weather had her barely breaking a sweat.

I love the cold. I am comfortable at 65-68 degrees indoors. Perfect outside weather for me is the low to mid 60's. I can wear T-shirts and not sweat at those temperatures, and can tolerate wearing T shirts in the mid-50's without feeling uncomfortably cold. As it creeps above 70, I start sweating. Last summer's Vegas vacation was like walking on the sun (during the daytime). I started to soak within a few minutes of walking outside in unshaded areas.

Everyone is different.

That said, I think the Fit's AC is fine. It was 85F the other day and I was fine with the AC on "2" at first, then on "1" after a few minutes with the windows closed and re-circulation on. I find that the engine warms up really fast, and the AC kicks in really fast. Faster than any other car I've owned, honestly. The AC is honestly better than in some German cars I've been in, but then again Germany is cold and they don't put very strong units into the cars unless they're wayyy-upmarket.

It was useless in the winter months when trying to circulate heated air, also. The air cannot be felt moving on "1" unless I put my hand about two inches in front of the vent.
