How well does this AC cool compared to other vehicles?
 
No complaints, getting close to three years now. I think Auto works like gangbusters.

I was just telling my wife today how happy I was with the climate control system. I have set the temp, and I rarely even have to touch anything. Compared to our Fords, this works great!
 
does anyone notice that that when using the auto system, it's always on the outside air - I'm always having to manually pushing the recirculation button..

It only goes onto recirculate if you turn temp down low enough otherwise will be on fresh...

============

The system automatically selects the outside (fresh) air position when the climate control system operates over a certain period of time (approximately 30 minutes) in low temperature with the recirculated air position selected.

mode and while pressing the A/C button, press the recirculated air position button five times within three seconds.

When the automatic ventilation is canceled, the indicator blinks 3 times. When the automatic ventilation is activated, the indicator blinks 6 times.

If the battery is discharged or detached, the automatic ventilation will be reset. Adjust the feature accordingly.
 
It could do a better job of filtering out the smells from the outside air. Apart from that it's great.

I meant that the system is predisposed to engage fresh air. Even when i set the temp to LO it does not switch to recirculation

Carbon filters capture odour.
I believe the G70 comes stock with one. However the Stinger comes with standard paper media.

Understood. The manual talks a lot about fresh air and passenger comfort. All evidence would suggest Kia values fresh air by default.
