To be honest, I'm with the OP. My A/C is not ICE COLD as others have mentioned and is simply cool air blowing. I guess I have to take it to the dealer after what people are saying about the A/C

I know it is not just my car i have had two loaner IS 250's and its the same issue, unless the air conditioner is actually blowing on me its not cold, passengers have had the same complaint the car is never cold inside but the air that blows out is cold, on 90 degree and up days its uncomfortable to be in the car longer than a half hour or hour btw my car is flint mica, and the interior is black
i have no complaints too just like the majority here..my a/c has been blowing freaking cold air..even in hot weather

I live in Phoenix, AZ. Yes it gets 110-120 here on a regular basis, yea its a dry heat, but in August it gets pretty freaking humid here too. Nothing like it being 115 out with 70%+ humidity.
My IS250 is black, has factory tint, and sits in the sun all day long from 8:30 am(its common for it to be well over 100 at 8am here) till i go to lunch at 1pm, it bakes in the sun. I couldnt imagine a worse situation, other than the guy in saudi arabia maybe. The AC in the car works wonders, almost something magical about it. I have lived in Phoenix my entire life, and never has a car had such an amazing AC system in it. It doesnt take more than 10mins or so and I am more than comftorable in the car, after 20 mins if i am driving that long it gets uncomftorable cold and time to turn it down to something in the 70s. For it to perform this well in this climate espicailly in a black car is quite a treat.

I'm in AZ and my girlfriend will regularly ask me to allow her to have her window cracked so that she can have some warm air to counter the cold air from the A/C. I also have friends that are impressed with how when i turn on the A/C, the air is cool/cold almost instantly. As mentioned earlier, AZ gets 100+ degree temps a lot and it is a dry heat but my is250 has never failed me during monsoon season when the humidity is ridiculous. Just my 2 cents.
