Default LV XR5 Air Conditioning - Weak?

2010 LV Focus XR5 about 6800Ks. Love the performance and driving experience but a few things bug me like it's weak air conditioning.

I'm in Perth and it's been stinkin' hot for the past week. My XR5's air con is barely able to make any difference with everything up full and on recirculate until about 20 minutes. The air coming out of the vents feels cool but nothing like I used to get from cheaper model Hondas and Subarus.

Is this just how it is with the XR5? Did they put a really naff unit in to save space/weight/power loss? Or should I be getting better cooling output from such a new unit?

Also, with all the noise it makes I feel I should be snap frozen within a few seconds!
