The fresh air intake on this car is actually located in the engine box - this is different from most other cars and was done this way for packaging. On other cars it's usually on the other side of the firewall. Because of this air entering the HVAC tends to get more heated and will blow hot some air at you even if you don't have the fan on - especially if you don't have the AC on. We remedied this in the 08 car by moving hood louvers away from the plenum lowering the overlall intake temp.
