Well, I did my civic duty......MIne has worked well with no issues at all.

Same. MY24 delivered Jan-2024, I had the hot AC issue a few times the first Summer, but this was resolved through IA issued dealer fixes.

Almost should have put the poll to these to attempt to avoid general acceptance or reluctance bias:

Works and has never had any issues
Has had issue with blowing Hot when wanting cold
Has had issue blowing Cold when wanting hot
Has been fixed and working
Has been fixed but still not working.

Good idea. Maybe a more detailed poll will be more informative.

Mine worked well upon delivery and then has resumed working well once I topped off coolant and performed the purge procedure mentioned elsewhere and the rok_dr manual

The key is to keep purging and topping up. It works, not ideal but it works.

I would rather have a good manual system than a quirky auto set-up.
I get fog on my windshield from the actuator not closing in all selected air flow settings.

I treat it as a manual system by only selecting,
- floor vents or floor/dash (never defrost)
- temp selection
- fan speed
- AC as required

9K mile '24 in sunny LA. Blew hot maybe 4-5 times when I really needed it to blow ice cold. Dropped it off today in Pasadena to get it fixed. They said it's some valve that needs to be replaced or repaired. Said they no longer replace the entire HVAC unit.

Just work and I'm straight. I'm not even a demanding user given climate.

For me this single issue is what I’m on the fence on regarding a 2025 or 2026.
The new 2025 I drove last weekend took about 15 minutes to warm up. Still, all vents were not expelling warm air. You would think it had 4 zone HVAC.
The 2026 warmed up in 3 min. This is what one would expect from a $90k vehicle.

One would expect a reliable HVAC in any modern vehicle. Price has nothing to do with it imho.
