I have a 2013 CX 5 GT and notice that if I have both temps set at lets say 70F, the drivers side is 70 and PAX side feels about 4 degrees cooler. How do I know 4 degrees cooler? Because if I set the PAX side temp to 66F then BOTH sides feel the same temp. What gives?
 
How are you actually measuring this? I think it would be hard to "feel" a difference of only 4 degrees. I suppose you could use a thermometer if you really wanted to know if there is a difference or not.
 
As I mentioned, I'm measuring the temp by placing my hand in front of the vent and lowering the temperature till they both feel the same and I constantly get about 4-5F difference as the temp is displayed in the panel. I had my wife close her eyes and use the same hand and tell me which one is warmer and when to stop making it "cooler" and we (again) were about 4-5F indicated colder on the right side to get them to blow same temp.
