Air Conditioning Still Blows Cold - 2005 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG Long-Term Road Test


It never seems to drop below 74 degrees in southern California and I'm prone to break a sweat at around 65. As a result, I'm constantly maxing out the air conditioning in our long-term cars.

To be fair, the vast majority of things on this car still work. Considering its NASA-level complexity that is no small achievement. However, rather unsurprisingly, its known problem areas are in fact problematic. Who would have thought that the most complex suspension system ever created would be problematic in its first iteration? Similarly, who would have thunk that a V12 requires careful maintenance?
Exaggeration and hyperbole get old as journalistic devices.
Also, of course, setting any thermostatically-controlled HVAC system to the lowest possible temp setting won't drop the temps any faster than just setting it to your desired temperature.
