Anyone notice little airflow??
Ok,
First, I love this car, so this is just a minor irritation.
Anyway, I like the feel of the wind, especially if the temps outside are about 80 degrees. But , I have noticed that even with the windows open And the Moonroof open, I get almost no airflow or cooling inside.
I really don't need to run the AC when it is only 75-80 out, but the car just does not flow air well, so I end up using AC.
Anyone else do what I do...
I stick my hand out the moonroof and deflect air onto my head. Maybe I need to make a clip on air deflector to add airflow into the car

The windows are pretty small.
What you can do, is open the moon roof, but don't open it all the way. Set it to open until just before the point where it moves backwards. That allows it to be at it's peak in height. If you do this while driving, you'll hit a sweet spot. You'll know when you hit it because it will be forcing a ton of air down on your head, but the wind noise will stop.

Also noticed if you use the 'crack' button for u'r sunroof and have your air control set for fresh air and face, but have it off. At higher speeds the crack creates a vacuum pulling it out of the vents. Even with the controls off you can vary the temperature of the air coming out. Or put it on 1 so that the A/C comes on.
But really...all the windows open, and sunroof open...no air...that's a good thing...aerodynamics!!!

But its pretty bad when the inside of the car is 10-20 degrees hotter than outside, and you are getting no airflow.
Like I said, I really prefer the open air to AC if I can. I'll try the partially open moonroof to see if it helps. (Although I really like having it open all the way. I guess I have allways like the feel of a convertable in the summer.
