Well, I'm speaking 986 temp numbers, and, no, I don't think there is a consensus that it runs too hot.

Its just for my style of driving, I notice the temp can equalize on the high side under very certain conditions, so to combat that, I can easily control them myself, but it easily appears to everybody else as useless since the car was designed with a temperature control system that should work.

The engine compartment fan is interesting because in traffic during 105 degree days, the heatsoak in the engine bay is probably extreme, hence the need for the fan in the first place.

Something thats bad that I've noticed is that the engine bay sensor is very close to the fresh air that the bay fan pushes in. It seems like to adequately lower the temp in the bay, the sensor should be in a place thats further away from the cooler air, to ensure the whole compartment is cooled down.
