Default car heating up inside

i have a 06 mt with 450 miles on it and as i was driving to put some miles in i noticed that it was getting hot in the car. i was checking if my heater was on or if i made the air from outside come in but everything was off. i touched the floor of my car and it was hot. just wondering if this is normal if you drive for few hours. i tried search but it wasnt working so if this is a repost my bad.

thanks.

Not sure if this is the same thing but... I have noticed sometimes the windows will fog up, and I have to A. roll down the windows a little or B. turn on the A/C. It tends to warm up a little, but I believe that is true with almost all cars. However, in my old car (q45) I did not have a problem with windows fogging up. Not sure if any of that helps, but that is my experiences.

My Z is the hottest car. Ever sometimes the center console will half as hot as an Iron. Sometimes it will be room temperature. I dont know why it fluctuates.

Its a combo from the exhaust and the tranny being right there. They can generate some serious heat, and that radiates into the car.

The tranny is right underneath your seat. It transfers a lot of heat since it gets mad hot :-D.

I had it only for the first few weeks. Its more pronounced in the winter cuz the car metal stays cold and it gets warm all of a sudden. When its warm outside, u'll never notice.

Yes, that's because it's a dry heat.

Why would there be a need for a service bulletin?

My Z gets a bit warm as well. My old 76' Mustang II did the same thing. I guess automotive technolgy hasn't progressed as far as we thought.
