Florida here.
Yesterday wasnt terribly hot but I parked it in the morning in a spot where it received sun for 5 hours.
When it was time to leave, the cabin was hot and I had a full load of people. With AC full blast and LO setting, it struggled a little.
You have to be a little "scientific" about it. Remember heat rises so really the heat was shoulders up but it sucked bad because the fiberglass top has no insulation so its smoldering. What I do is roll the windows down half way, turn the AC on to bring in outside air and drive for a min while the hot air escapes and the compressor is bringing in new conditioned air, then close back up.
I plan on doing a spray on insulation (lizardskin) soon, hopefully itll help. The other thing that will help is ceramic tint. Get shade on the side and back and clear on the windshield. I had ceramic in my old car and it helped block the heat a lot.
