It is a design flaw on Subaru's part. You can do this. If you feel hot air blowing into cabin, turn on the AC, set temp to 62, then turn off AC. the air will blow cold from now on.
Basically if you want warm air, the car should open a channel for the air to enter heat core and then enter cabin. If you turn AC system off, the car should shut down that channel. Obviously, Subaru engineers forget to do this. So when you turn off AC, they still let that channel to heat core open. This will only happen when you turn on AC but set it to a warm temp in the morning. Then when you drive it during afternoon w/o AC on.

Any input??
Thanks!
