I don't always go to Vegas. But when I do, I like to drive the 2015 Jaguar F-Type R Coupe.

Ah, you live in the valley, which explains why you don't mind Vegas in the summer -- it's probably cooler in Vegas. :P

How does the Jag's A/C work in the desert heat? It's the everyday things like that blogs need to cover. HVAC, lights, NVH, wipers etc are things that you don''t always pick up on a 20 minute test drive. Therefore, long term blogs such as this are very valuable.

Allthingshonda - Great questions. During the trip over, it was as hot as 110 degrees - according to the Jaguars temperature gauge. A/C worked like a champ. No problems, hiccups, or warm spells. Keeping the cabin an even 70 degrees was no problem.

It's worth noting the median high over the three days we were in town was a toasty 104.

For a few miles of the drive, I was caught in a summer rain storm. The wipers did their job admirably.

And as far as NVH, I'd say yes.
