Don't have a 1st gen, but it works great, it's a big space to cool.

My biggest issue is that anything higher than #2 fan speed it can be pretty loud. Other than that no problems

Yes it is much improved. The cool down time is much faster now.There is even ventilation now for the rear passengers under the seats. How much better? I used to max blast it constantly before. Now I turn it a couple clicks to warmer because it gets too cold. The vents are much more effective and maneuvarable in the xB2 as well.

I took my first drive in the new xB today in Savannah, GA. It was only 80 degrees, but the a/c was very cold and I never set the fan above 1 with the temp full cold. I seriously considered backing off the temp while I was driving it.

Anyway no worries about the a/c in these cars.
