Hi,
My family always had one or two Subaru. a/c system needs service too.
Even cars with smaller engines have a/c and they are adequate in hot
climate. I used to drive small cars in Phoenix, AZ and never felt a/c
was not doing a good job. If you think your car's a/c is not working
well, have it checked out.
