So I got the first taste of summer and gee wizz it gets bloody hot in the cabin on the car even with A/C on.

Is it common issue with s2000s that A/C doesn't really get that cold?

I turn it almost up to max and it doesn't even help one bit. I was thinking perhaps it's the softtop absorbing the heat into the cabin? And leather seats on a hot day doesnt help either.. Sad face.

Definatly sounds like it needs a regas, same thing happened to me.
Regas definatly helped get the aircon cold. It was $100.
Also combine the ac with the inner circulation button thingy above the ac button ^.^

If my car has been out in the sun and the cabin is really hot then it can take a while to cool down.
Do you have the aircon on recirculate? that makes a big difference.

I hate leather seats in hot weather.. I always get all sweaty on my back! I feel like getting my seats reupholstered to cloth.

Think I'm lucky :|
Mine is ice cold and I never have it on more than 4 fan speed else I'll freeze... Black leather too.

As others have said, regas or if that fails, check for leaks / noisy compressor etc..
