Re: Airconditioning Vents - Location opinion
Hi Rich,
To be honest I think the air-con vent configuration is much better on Series II.
I have Series I and I find that the left side of my face gets cold air, while am missing the same from the right side. So I keep rotating my neck to catch the cold air from all directions. hehehe "just kidding"
Also the middle air-vent above the steering column (I think) on Series II is really handy and gives you that needed cold breeze straight in your face if you're a hot-blooded person like I am 
Am not sure if Series II have better fan speed, but I find that in real hot summer days, I have to keep the fan speed at 4 (full blast) at all times to get that needed cold air circulated around the cabin.
If I compare the performance of the air-con between the exy and my old Camry, I would give much more points to the Camry, but then again, the cabin of the Camry is smaller being a sedan.
It would have been nice to have rear air-con vents in the exy.

Re: Airconditioning Vents - Location opinion
Mine is series 1; would rarely turn the fan above 2 though (is that because Melbourne is more temperate - or because the noise would drive me mad). I reckon the left arm and shoulder get more cold air than the right.
Mine has some rear vents under the front seats - I have assumed these work if you set it to foot, but have never really tested them out. We virtually always have ours set to face.

Re: Airconditioning Vents - Location opinion
Hi Richard and all
Although I'm struggling to remember when I last needed the air-cond on, I can vouch for the effectiveness of the face vent on the series II.
I do have one quibble though - no matter what position the air direction knob is set on, the hot/cool air also comes through the face vent and the outer dash vents.
I'm particularly sensitive to heated air on my face (dries out my sinuses - yeah, wuss, I know) and if I have the heater on my feet I have to close the face vent, which is annoying.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Cheers
Brenton
