Yes, but it's not very smart about it. My other car's climate control system (Mercedes E320) does a hell of a lot better job. If it's 60 in the cabin and I set it to a cabin temp of 80, it starts blowing air that's 90+ and increases the fan speed to get the cabin temps up to the target temperature as quickly as possible, which is what you would expect.
The Z just seems to be very lazy about getting the temp to where you set it.. If it's 60 in the cabin and I set the temp to 80, if it is doing anything other than blowing a**-hot air, at or near full speed, whoever wrote the program for the control microchip is a serious no-go.
Plus, if it's 60 in the cabin, why does it make a difference if I set it to 80 or 90? Either way it's 20+ degrees (!!) off the target temp and the control program's logic should tell it that it needs to get its butt in gear with the heat. Yet that small bit on the end of the dial makes a huge difference in what actually comes out of the vents.
Anyhow...minor gripe in a car that is overall very fun to drive.
