barely any A/C/heater for driver side

Tis Subaru, I knew there's complaint about the interior and quality of the work at the beginning, but I didn't know it's this bad.

I can barely feel any AC/heat at drivers side, sweating my butt off during summer and freezing my knees off during winter (luckily my butt is saved from heated seats during winter, don't even let me started on these heated seats) I have to put an extra blanket on my when driving so I'm lower body's not freezing to death when blasting the heat on 3rd Level, and Have to open the window so it's not a sauna for my head.

Later I found out there's a piece of plastic dangling on top of where the brake paddle is that's not secured. I tried to secure it but apparently that didn't fix the problem at all, and air is blowing side ways to I have no idea where. It literally takes 30 Minutes+ driving on highway before my feet gets warmer

Returning this piece of art work when lease ends for sure, and won't even gonna try another sub.

The END,
