Highly doubt it will make a huge difference.

You are not alone. Feel like temps in NE FL 100-105 lately. Rarely put top down now, but have used air in traffic when I have. Helps to use lower ducts also to cool off feet. :).

Yep, works great to blow cold air on your face/arms/hands and even legs/feet

Yep, all the time in traffic. Makes a huge difference when stuck at a light on a warm day.

Yup...when I had my 'vert I used to do that all the time with the vents pointed at me.

To me it is like asking...'have you ever put the top down and turned the heat on?' The answer to both is 'absolutely....'

Not as effective as the small cabin space of the Miata, but still works to keep me cool.

Yes, definitely a big help in stop and go traffic but, once you get to highway speeds it is pretty much worthless. One thing I notice though is with a wind deflector, it helps to circulate the cold air around the front seat a bit more. While I hate going windows up, top down, it further corrals the cold air but, just looks STOOOPID.
