This is the first winter with my '06 TSX (love it BTW) and I'm noticing that the floor setting on the heater doesn't seem to work, since my feet are always freezing, even if I increase the temp and put it to the floor setting alone.

My last car was an Altima and I didn't have this problem. Before I check with the dealer, does anyone else notice this?

Thanks much.

Im gonna have to agree with you on this one. I had my heat only to the floor two weeks ago, and I didn't feel any warmth to my feet even after 20 minutes of driving. A bit odd, but I just changed to blow out at my face after twenty minutes.

Same here...seems you have to cook yourself to keep the feet warm....same with summer, feet get hot...also notice the TSX seems to be a big heat sink....drive home on a hot day and park in garage..go back out later to get in and the inside is hot and same with trunk...TL/Accord seem not to have such the problem..?

I've always had the opposite problem with my TSX --too much foot heat. When in auto mode it often makes my feet too hot and I have to set it to only blow out the top vents. I have an '04, maybe they've made changes.

maybe its not the car, you athlete you.

You guys might want to check to make sure nothing is blocking the vents.

So even if you put it on floor only mode, you don't feel much heat?

my feet aren't really that warm, but then again I think the engine warms up pretty quickly at -5F temps.

Mine keeps my feet nice and toasty...and I'm in Alaska! Even on my short 10 minute commutes to work in I still have no problems.

I tested my fan on the floor setting as I picked up dinner this evening. I was wearing flip/flops, and could definitely feel the air coming from the floor vent.

Same here as the OP, I don't feel any air coming from the lower vent, seems like something is blocking the vent. I believe Cjams has the same problem too.. We both have 05 TSX..

I am having a similar problem, though I have not investigated it yet.

I had a 04 and now have the 07 and I have noticed the same thing. Feet are always colder in the winter..

OKay, everyone go and check their foot heaters. Perhaps we should have a poll, if they work or not, and what year your TSX is??? That way we can get some good stats.

Forced air much less than about 80 degrees feels cold. So if your car is stabilized at 65 degrees and has the wind blowing on the feet, it simply feels cold. Because of the wind chill factor, you need the air to be 10 degrees warmer than ambient to feel warm. To warm feet, set car at 80 degrees and open window...

Professional advice from my HVAC pal

Tell your HVAC guy that's not the solution. It's been VERY cold here in Boston lately and I've had my heat cranked up to 85 and on the floor setting and I can still feel more heat in the upper regions of the car than on my feet.

Thanks for the help, though.

My car is an '06 TSX without the navigation

my 2004 (19k) non-navi 6MT works just fine.

This is my first winter with my 06... the whole car gets nice and warm (much faster than my old car (an 01 EL) thanks probably to the bigger engine), including the footwells. I do, however, have the climate system in auto for temperature, but I override the vent controls and go defrost/foot mode (hit auto, then hit mode once). I've been driving most of the winter with the seat on high and temperature around 24-25 degrees C.

For some reason, to be comfortable, I need to be really warm in the winter...but in the summer, I need to be really cold (24 degrees C is nice in the winter, but 24 in the summer is horrible....18 degrees C in the summer is great, but fricking freezing in the winter)
