I thought it was just the black interior that reflects the sun heat?

what's with people telling him to turn on the AC ??? you guys dont think he knows how to use the AC ? he's saying that he gets hot air thru the vent (even with cool outside temperature, probably). It's a problem that Subaru needs to fix if it affects many car and i believe it is.

So he doesnt like to turn it on because of loss of power/gas. Big deal. Make sure the air is on the recycled option also.

I know where he is coming from pertaining the loss of power. On my RSX which is also a 2.0L engine the power sucks ass without the A/C being on and then with the A/C is on it feels almost unbearable. I would highly assume the same runs true for the FRS/BRZ since it already isn't torquey and comes with a dip in the torqueband unlike my RSX. The one thing I love about 6 and 8 cylinders is even with the A/C on it doesn't feel different in power in my experiences.

I also would hate to drive the BRZ/FRS with me and 3 individuals and the A/C on. I tried that in my RSX and I wanted to jump out of the car and let it run into a wall and blow up. That's how angry it makes me feel. It's also the reason I have a fear of buying another N/A 2.0L or smaller engined vehicle.

If you flip it to recirculate inside air, then hot air doesn't come out of the vents with the fan off.

Do you mean like, you feel Hot air coming in?
or
How even if you have the window open, you still fee hot air coming in?

In the Mazda Miata, the blend door does not close all the way (as it should) and it lets in hot air from the heater core. This may also be happening in the Twins. On the Mazda, there is a 5 minute fix since it has a mechanical actuator that you can adjust. Since I do not have a FRS/BRZ yet I have not had the chance to take a look at this.
