Used my a/c quite a bit this past weekend on a road trip with my girlfriend who of course wanted the a/c on. Car was a bit sluggish at low rpm's and the a/c didn't stay consistently cold either. The coldness issue might just be because it hasn't been recharged in quite some time, and because I usually drive with the windows down instead of using the a/c I haven't cared much for troubleshooting. I must agree with everyone else though, the a/c on these cars (subaru's as well) isn't anything to write home about haha

I have to say mine is very cold, even on the hottest day 95+ on MAX A/C after a short while I'll have to turn it down. The a/c on mine is great.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was surprised at how bad my car bogs down with the AC on. It does an OK job at best to keep you cool.

My last car (03 cobra) would literally freeze you, and never bogged down or felt slower. With that said, I'm still happier with my Evo

Same complaints... My AC sucks. Car bogs and it doesn't even stay cool. It probably needs a recharge. It will blow cool for a bit and then cut out on hot days. I usually just roll with the windows down anyhow. It doesn't really even get that hot here. I haven't decided whether I'm going to try to recharge it or just yank it out entirely.

AC can actually be pretty cold, but god, the lag it causes to the car is unbearable...

Good ac is always a good thing to have especially with long trips I have been taking recently.
