When your car has been sitting in the hot sun for awhile, the inside temp is hotter than the outside temp........So IMO, it's better to let it suck in fresh air for a few minutes before hitting the recirc button.

that's why most car manuals recommend running the A/C on MAX and driving for a little bit with the windows cracked so the A/C can force the hot air out.

Run it on normal while the windows are cracked, and then switch to Max when you close the windows. |

So then you're not only trying to push the hot air out you're trying to cool the hot air from outside at the same time? You do what works for you and I'll do what has always worked for me

Dude......My point was, on a hot day the air inside is going to be hotter than the air outside. So why not force as much of it out as possible, before activating recirc?
