Interesting feedback @kdwolf especially about the CX-60. We shortlisted it but decided against it due to poor reviews and the fact that Mazda stopped bundling the packs that we would have wanted but didn’t reduce the AP. I couldn’t be doing with a car that you have to drive in the summer with the AC off though just to conserve range. That makes it not fit for purpose in my book. AC should be left on 365 days a year, not just for passenger comfort but because it also dehumidifies the cabin which stops driver drowsiness. Also, if AC is off for months on end the seals dry out and shrink, which causes the refrigerant to leak and reduces the system efficiency.
I agree. Hence don’t do it anymore – the A/C is always on nowadays.
