Default best a/c

just a curosity question, and to kind of give myself something to look at over the summer to possibly do.

Who has the best a/c? meaning: when it is as hot as hades outside, what is the vehicle you want to get in because it is the coldest?

the other question i have is, what is the best a/c compressor to put on the 4.0 for the best a/c performance?

Yours is fine, the jeep is the problem. Poor Insulation and poor placement of vents.

The best A/C is one that works. I have never had a jeep that has had the A/C last on it.

most modern cars blow ice pretty quickly after startup. best is obviously white cars although it doesnt really seem to make a big difference. My white jeep gets hotter inside sitting in the sun for 30 mins at 80* than my light green maxima does after sitting in 90* for hours. I cant understand it but it is what it is.

Your best bet for a car with great AC is a quality brand car that is still on the lot. Still probably better off with a brand new KIA than a 10 year old Mercedes

My jeep has flawless A/C, ice cold in about 45 seconds and blows hard.

white paint, tinted windows all the way around and put a sun visor on your windsheild when you park your car in the sun. and will be cool as a fridge in there.

Any vehicle with low cubic footage will be cooler than a poorly insulated hight cubic foot of interior space vahicle such as a Cherokee. A regular cab Chevy S10 pickup will freeze you out of the cab in a hurry. The 89 Plymouth Grand Voyager that I had without rear air while I lived in Phoenix AZ sucked and never got cool enough.
