I have not specifically measured it, but the few passengers I have had have all asked me to turn it down when it was over 100 degrees outside. It gets REAL cold I know that.

Cold enough that, with the fan on low, the wife still complaines that it's too cold. In the middle of August!!
Wish my C3 was like that.

I would say if your system is working right it should be in the 45-50 range, Mine is around 45 if not less, Love it...
