BLACK EM1 & Air conditioning

Does anyone find the air cond for this particular car cr@p or not particularly great?
I've had my car for 4.5 yrs now, and all this time I've always thought that this was normal for the civic.
I recently had it looked at and the guy says my thermostat is stuffed.
I mean, it's cool but i'll still be uncomfortable on a 30+ day
anyone with a Black EM1 in the same situation?

I dont think colour would make to much of a differance but my ej8 is fine. I just bumb it up if i get a lil warm but i havnt owned the car through a typical QLD summer yet.

is it when you stop start?
because if you dont have ur AC fan working it could cause it to go hot cold as you stop start in traffic

You wonder why your airconditioning isnt working and then go on to say your thermostat is stuffed . . . .

idle solenoid cutting the AC out when you get on the gas?

I know Toyotas had this, not sure about Hondas.
