Mine does it too. Pretty much what others are describing. My previous cars would blow air that was at most a couple degrees warmer than outside, this thing is at least 5-10 degrees warmer when the engine is up to temp. Not a problem for temps below 70 degrees but rather annoying in that 70-90 degree range when on previous cars I could save some gas by not running the A/C. This is regardless of speed, it's always warmer after the first couple minutes. Like others have said, gotta bite the bullet and turn on the A/C or crack the window, which I kind of like, I didn't enjoy window down driving very much in my last car with hand crank windows.

Do you have to repeat the process after a certain amount of time or does it work for the remainder of your trip? It sounds like you could save yourself some time by just hitting the A/C button for a few minutes, it seems like it would accomplish the exact same thing.

I seem to remember anecdotally that a lot of 'high end' performance cars in the past had shitty HVAC because it wasn't a priority. But I can't back that up. I'm lumping it in with the crickets as a quirk.
