A Little Fresh Air Would Be Nice!

Well, it's another beautiful autumn and I've been trying to drive around the a/c off, but alas I see once again that with the recirc/outside air button set to outside, the air flow into the car is just too warm so I have to turn the a/c back on or it gets too stuffy. Why can't it deliver the nice cool air from outside without mucking it up? It even fogs the windscreen! Is there a fix?

I didn't know about the 'hold the button trick', will definitely try that, but I get the same 'warm' air when want to get some fresh air (via just the dash vents open, and an outside source). I assumed the air is just heated from the engine/non-circulation, and will take 10-15 seconds to be exchanged with the cooler exterior air.

I was intrigued by the mention of holding the recirc button until you hear 2 beeps, so I looked in the owner's manual and there it is. But it is still not clear what this accomplishes. The "normal" short push of the button will change the mode from inside air (recirc) to outside air, and vice versa. In my case, I generally wish to get outside air so I typically push the button once and that turns off the recirc light and it stays off. But if I read the manual correctly if you want inside air and hit the recirc button, the recirc function will only stay that way for about 15 minutes and then automatically revert to outside but pushing for the 2 beeps will override that and keep it on indefinite recirc--is that right?

I had a Mitsubishi 3000GT for years, and used the vent w/outside air on cool days routinely and never had this problem. Was always very comfortable w/windows up, and it had a very tight engine compartment as well. Can't imagine the two cars' systems being that different.
