yah, I use mine only when I go out. My work parking lot is not covered so I put up the sunshade then... it also helps when I take a nap in the car. lol. Smile

RE: A/C opinions
It would appear that the people with A/C issues also have the Eco package. The Eco package uses an A/C compressor that is electrically operated, and not by the engine. It also slows and at times shuts off when idling. The first Forte I test drove had the Eco package and it never cooled down during the 30 minute test drive. I asked to drive a Forte without Eco and that was cold in 15 minutes. I also bought that one.
