I'd used it for cooling off with the hard top on, but not for demisting.

The air con works far better than a rear demister IMO. 30 second blast with the AC and the condensation has gone. The demister is more useful for frost but my baby has a nice big radiator in the garage to keep her warm. Its the biggest radiator in the house , no wonder the wife says I love the car more than her

Don't have the S2000 - yet!
But I thought the re-circulate button was to stop the thick diesel fumes from the bit of public transport in front from suffocating you - or am I wrong? I mostly am.

Mikerich:

That's another function for it but I think the prime function is as described. If you ever find yourself trapped in the car in a snowdrift and having to survive the night, use the recirculate button. Seriously this is oft given survival advice. Otherwise............

Probably obvious to lots of you, but my other half didn't realise this...

The other time you should use the recirculate button is when you want to keep all that lovely chilly, conditioned air inside your car cool (but only once the temp inside has dropped) - if you don't use it, your poor aircon pump struggles to cool the hot outside air rather than doing the easy job of chilling the cold air inside that little bit more.

Of course, this doesn't work very well with the roof down

Good job you're not on the FIAT Barchetta forum you'd have been hounded out for being a wimp

If anyone coming to the September Meet wants RainX then I'll do a Costco trip.... I've got two bottles sat downstairs.... PM me if you want a large bottle at less than Halfords (thanks for the tip Gary!)
