among a list of minor annoyances with my 3 month old 9-3, the erratic behavior of the A/C tops it. sometimes when i first turn on the A/c by hitting the ACC button twice it will start blowing cool air within 30 seconds. other times, i feel nothing for 30 secs, then about 2 mins of WARM air blowing (fan at low speed) at feet level. then maybe it gets gradually cooler and the fan speed picks up and after boiling in a hot car for 6 mins. or so, i finally have normal feeling A/C. my point is a brand new car shouldn't be blowing hot air when you first turn on the A/C. that's what my parents' Ford's did in the 70s. my '96 Jetta could blow freezing air almost immediately after turning on the A/C. so what's the dilly?
