Is the RL A/C "low-key" like Lexus's?
I remember well from my two LS's that Lexus likes to keep the A/C in its lux cars quiet and unnoticeable. As a result, I was always cranking the temp down to get the temperature and airflow I wanted.
I notice in my RL that I kinda have to do the same thing. Even when it was only like 85 here today at lunch, I had to have the A/C set on 65 to keep it comfortable. In my TL, OTOH, I would have had it at 70. It's just a numbers game, I guess, and of course I could just take it off Auto and go to manual, but I like using Auto instead of switching it back and forth.
Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?

Coming from an '04 TSX 6MT I can say the RL A/C is much quieter yet I can keep the setting the same as it was in the TSX, which is 76. Recently the A/C in my TSX (69700 miles) started to make a whoosing/humming noise anytime I would use for a long period of time and then set in traffic idling (when it would make the mystery noise thatwas never diagnosed by Acura - a number of times).

I'm too hot-natured for that.
