Air Conditioner

I had the opportunity to use the air conditioner full-blast today. It was close to 90 degrees where I live in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles. It worked great. Cooled the car down quite quickly. There is also no drag on the engine, which is really nice. My last two vehicles drove awful with the air on.

Just another added plus to the Prius.

Very glad to hear that as I have not used the AC yet - at least I don't think that I have. I mean, does the AC kick on when you use the climate control to cool the car or does the car take outside air if it is colder outside that inside? I don't use "auto" for the fan and so don't have the "AC" button depressed.
