Was it any different prior to the triple digit heat recently?

How may I help?
Maybe the dealer should check it out for you.

I usually have to hit the recirculate button to really get it cold. I don't use the max ac but regular on recirc works great.

I just picked up my 2012 Civic Si coupe and yesterday it was saying it was 37 degrees Celsius (I'm not sure what that is in Fahrenheit buy it's friggin hot) outside on the display. I had the a/c on full blast and it wasn't really cold. I would have thought for a brand new car it would be able to cool things down a little better.

98.6 F > Same temperature as the inside of a person's mouth.

Mine blows fairly cold. Also most new cars won't blow as cold of air as some older cars do. I forget the exact reasoning but it's something about being energy efficient and environmentally friendly. If your car isn't blowing cold enough to keep you cool though, you may have an issue somewhere that your dealer needs to look at

Deal with it
Have you tried turning it off and on?

gov stopped production of r-12 freon refrigerant because of ozone concerns. Now they use a product called r-134a for air conditioning.
Take the car over to honda and have them check the AC system out.

yeah, mine is definitely not as cold as my old accord but it does the job enough to be comfortable.

Mine is pretty frigid. I often only need mine on a quarter of the way.

This has been an on-going issue with the 8th gens as well. People tend to find that the A/c is cooler when the car is in movement (vs. stopped).
I haven't been able to resolve the issue - though it does seem to be more prelevant when temperatures are in the upper 90's or better w/ high humidity.

Pleased to say that mine is downright COLD!!! My sunglasses fogged up when I got out of my car this evening . . . twice! The inside of the driver's side, passenger side, and upper passenger corner of the front window were fogging up as well. Of course, it is practically new (bought it on Good Friday). Good to know about the cabin air filter though in the event I find that the AC loses some efficiency.
