I have been impressed by the A/C in the xD. We have hot humid summers in MD. Many 90+ days, and even a few 100+ days. Humidity is outrageous. I usually end up turning the fan down to the lowest speed and it stays below 70 in the car.

The only mod I did was to insulate the return line to the compressor. Technically, this should make it more efficient, but I don't know how much. I also have installed a cabin air filter... Don't know of that counts as a mod. Shouldn't change be A/C performance.
