I've experienced that glitch in my '19 once last summer. When I started it up to go home the a/c was blowing hot air. After a minute I was like, "wait, wtf?". Was still on the property of the venue we were building, so I just stopped in the middle of the road, turned the car off and back on and it started blowing cold air right away.Wow - that's not good. I think there's another post on this forum where someone mentioned that their AC in a 2020 CTR also didn't work on the first day of ownership! My '19 CTR only had one odd glitch with the AC last summer (2019). It was blowing lukewarm air on a hot day. I pulled into a parking lot, turned the car off and upon restarting the air was blowing cold again - I haven't had any other problems with the AC and my car has over 13,000 miles now. Hopefully they get your AC fixed soon - not fun driving in 90F weather!
I've noticed that if you aren't moving, the a/c isn't as could as it would be cruising, especially in direct sunlight. But the sunlight is probably just worse because you're in a greenhouse lol. Though that's not really exclusive to this car.
Overall the blower isn't as strong as I'd like, especially if you use a setting such as vents at the dashboard and floorboard. But I can't really complain, I'd driven my Si for over 3 summers with no a/c at all before I got my type R. Which suuuuccckks. Where I'm working now there's only street parking so I have to drive the Si to work again. There's no way in hell I'm parking the R on the street. All of the damage on my Si has been from assholes hitting me when the car is just parked.
