How's the a/c in Az ?

Peace to the world this Independence day!

I have moderate tinting on side and rear windows. It helps tremendously with the heat issue. However, the visibility problem at night is a major issue for me. I need to roll the windows down to get clear visibility. Does anyone else relate to this?

I used to on prior vehicles (roll down the windows particularly when parking). I'm pretty used to it now. I also think the Prius isn't quite as dark as my other vehicles because my other vehicles were SUV's that had pretty dark factory smoked glass that I slapped limo tint on top of. Since the Prius isn't factory tinted, my windows technically aren't quite as dark.

My biggest problem was seeing out the back. Since I use my side mirrors to line up (and my side windows aren't as dark) and use my back up camera to make sure I don't run into anything it isn't a problem with the Prius.

...on a side note. I had my Prius in direct sun for about 3 hours yesterday and it was probably 150 degrees in there. I rolled down all 4 of my windows for about 3 or 4 mins as I was pulling away and it really made a huge difference in cooling down the vehicle. Getting that 150 degree air out of there and replacing it with a "cool" 108 degree air does wonders.
