That will be with myself and perhaps a passenger on a day in the 30's.

If it gets to the low 40's or I have 3-4 people in the car I just put it on number 2 fan speed.
I open all the windows for 5 minutes, then let it idle at fan speed 4 with A/C happening on recirculate on feet/face for 30 minutes before I get in on 30 degree days, and even after the 50 minute drive home on fan speed 2 its only just mildly cool.

The Aircon in my WS Fiesta and LV Focus down right suck, not good enough for our conditions.

I like the cold, so I've usually got it going on 15 degree days too on fan speed 1.

I have no rear parcel shelf in my car though because of my tools in the back, so I have a bigger area to cool, and its not tinted.
