Only time I have been colder with a car's a/c is with the r12 systems. But for the r134a this is unreal for temp wise.

Try Honda or any domestic A/C and think otherwise.

agreed..

R-12 made me the most cold... R-134a is not as potent as R-12...

My A/C unit takes way to long to get cold. I've done the ac recharge before and didn't really help. My other cars get cold pretty much instantly.

But your right, when it does it cold, its ICE cold.

I would disagree to this statement.

I have owned both several Domestic (GM) and honda vehicles and the Lexus is by far the coldest. All my civics/accords had to be on MAX before i would even start feeling something PLUS it would take time before the compressor started to blow cold air.

My lexus however, blows cold air literally the minute you turn the car on.
