I posted another thread asking about the Fit's performance driving uphill and someone noted in correlation with that that the a/c in the Fit doesn't get very cold. Do a lot of you Fit owners have that problem? The lack of power/reduction in speed going uphill isn't a deal breaker but a/c that doesn't get cool could be -- I live in GA and it's hot/humid here for most of the year. (We ran a/c at Christmas, for example.)

 

I have an '08 Sport GD3. My wife has a 2003 Ford Focus ZX5 with a 2.0 liter engine. Her A/C gets ice cold, even in the middle of a hot summer. Mine doesn't, it just barely keeps up. Smaller engine = less power to the A/C. If getting your car ice cold is top priority, don't buy any car with a small engine, expect it to get you places and be ice cold in the process.

 

Geo metros with 900 cc engines and air conditioning got ice cold, just couldn't pull hills with it on..


R134 SUCKS..

 

Thanks for the advice. I guess I've really got some thinking to do, then. Really like the look of the Fit and I had a heck of a fun time test driving it a few years back ... but I hate sweating to and from work every summer day!
