Nothing can beat the feeling you get when you drive an A8 by all means, nevertheless, no other car can develop worse A/C system. I live in Saudi Arabia where the weather is very similar to Miami. I am facing the same problem in addition to engine high temperature when running A/C in a crowded high-way or when stopped.

I've learned to live with it. It's the initial minute of cooling that sucks. I don't have any high tempature problems with the engine.
I still can't believe that Audi engineers mass produced a car with an A/C system that functions this way. It evacuates the hot air into the car before cooling whereas any other car evacuates the hot air outside.
My wife's Mercedes GL 450 has an incredible A/C system.
I got the S8 up to 120 mph the other night and I couldn't believe how tight the car drove at these speeds, there was still so much more excelleration available but due to the situation I couldn't test it. This car is simply amazing.
