Hot Cabin
Am I the only one who notices that the cabin of the SS is abnormally hot when driving? I used to drive a black civic SI that wasn't nearlly as hot in the cabin despite the color. I feel a slight blast of warm air comming from the fire wall even with all the vents closed and the HAVC set to re-circulate. Maybe its just me. Is it just me or have others felt this?

I notice none. The wifey's S4 makes more radiated heat, but if you want really bad heat intrusion try driving the one ton bucket truck with a 454 I have to at work. Oh yea, it doesn't have AC either.

Passenger 57.....
You live in a temperate zone much like the Phoenix area, SO>>>>>
One of the issues I discovered in the HHR is that the dash reflects a lot of heat. GM Engineering requested my car for this complaint issue and after some study, stated it is within "normal" heat levels. They did suggest a dash cover would help. I purchased a cheap one at the local "thieves market" and it does substantially reduced the heat.
You might try this! Or if you have access to a thermo gun, check and see what your dash temps are, first. Note....you will especially notice the radiant heat after parking the vehicle in the sun without a windshield/sun screen.
