Yeah, his example pretty much shows how durable the Yaris AC can be in a hot climate....the number of miles he has driven plus the only tropical climate in the contiguous 48. Even venturing north of his metro (or north of Naples, etc. on the other coast), he's still in the sub-tropical climate that so many Texans live in. Some of my miles (of course my total only about half of his) have been in the SF Bay Area and also on trips around the U.S. (so not the mileage exposure to heat that trini's car has performed so well through). I have not had to tend to anything re the AC (same as Trini).
