Hey, do you guys find the 3200 cabin temperature is much higher than others! Let me give u a comparison, outside temperature is about 26-28c, didn't turn on the air-con, just window down and listen to the engine roar! After 20 minutes driving, low speed, under 60km most of the time, I can feel the heat down there, warming my legs like a heater. Is there something wrong with the engine bay, or some sort of ventilation system is not functioning? or u find it is normal and acceptable!
Cabin Temperature - hotter than most cars?

Mine sometimes blows hot whatever the setting on the dials. Apparently it is one of the actuators that controls one of the air flaps that has gone t!ts up. However, with the roof down its not that big a deal for me so I haven't needed to get it fixed as yet.

Rudy,
Go faster mate, 60kmph is far too slow (joke), the car without aircon' is taking the ambient heat and the engine heat and pushing this in to the cabin. The turbo's get very hot and it is best to use the aircon' for good cabin temperature, or just turn the heater vents off.

If the air flap actuator goes t!ts up, you can select air con but the flaps wont be able to direct the cold air into the car so, as with mine, i cant change the temperature or the direction of the cold air. I normally get red hot air coming through the dash board vents whatever the selections on the rotary knobs. Great in winter with the roof down but not quite so good in summer!
I wish I could go faster...tons of speed camera and radar gun around my town...
