On really hot summer days, after my car's been parked on the street, I tend to leave the windows down and ride out first gear for a block or two. Airflow removes some heat from the car body and interior, gets more air to the engine bay, and higher RPMs crank the compressor. Tends to cool down the car pretty quick, and then I'm okay even if get stuck in traffic.
Yep.
Tinted windows help a lot as well.


Oh and don't do like I did for the first two weeks of owning the car. I whined and muttered about how crappy the AC was and that it barely even cooled the car at all. Then one day I turned the little wheel on the dash vents and actually opened them up. The difference was startling. The sad part was I had actually read about them in the manual.
