No. I do not have climate control.

Replying to: ex_tdier (Jun 24, 2006 11:45 am)  80 .. with the A/C on 1 keeps me quite cool .. actually chilly till I crack the window to smoke. My suggestion to people thinking about buying one of these wonderful cars is TEST DRIVE IT. My fiance test drove 3 different Mazdas and I drove 2 and the A/C was fine in each of them. If the one you drive doesn't work the way you like ... try another one. But the above-referenced statement is simply not true!! I absolutely love my Mazda .. more every day .. and for those of you who don't like yours ... I am truly sorry .. but there are lots of us who are more than happy with ours!!

Replying to: nifty56 (Jun 25, 2006 11:10 am) In each and every case, all of the vehicles were hot when I started my test drive and I opened the front windows about half-way down for about 2 minutes and had the air conditioning set to recirculate on full front, max coldness, and airflow set to 2-3. All of the vehicles cooled down within five minutes and the majority of the driving was in city situations (stop and go). Honestly, I did not feel hot at stop lights, or when traffic stopped. I have read about the Mazda A/C issues here on Edmunds and was really paying close attention to this during all my test drives. I did not notice little to any difference in A/C performance in any of the vehicles and decided (after much debate) to purchase the 3i Touring model. My wife drove our new car several times this weekend and did not complain at all about A/C performance. I am not saying that some folks have not had issues with their A/C, I am just stating, for the record, that I did not notice this issue with any of the Mazda 3's that I drove. All I can tell folks that are worried about this is to do a thorough test drive and ensure that they are comfortable with the 3's A/C performance..

I appreciate those that responded to my first post saying that their A/Cs are great. I'm happy for you. Fact remains: mine is NOT and I am trying to determine if there is anything in the world that I can do about it. HAS ANYONE WITH THE PROBLEM MANAGED TO GET ANYTHING DONE ABOUT IT? If so, please let me know. From the moment I noticed the problem, I have been keeping a strict record of outside temperature versus inside (If anyone is interested, I'll post my results.) Of course, I don't know what good my records will do because the dealership's interest centers around the temperature at the vent, not the passenger compartment. Hopefully, my state's lemon laws will be of use to me. I'll know soon, as I've made an with my attorney for later in the week. In the meantime, I'll be taking the car back in tomorrow to see why my clock appears to be loosing time. While I'm there, I think I will once again mention the nasty static on my radio. And, lest I not forget, I fed Zula her third tank of gas yesterday and confirmed the fact that she is indeed a very hungry girl: 18.1 MPG. I'm starting to miss my 96 Protege. Just so everyone knows, I too loved the Mazda3; that's why I bought it. I just wish my Mazda3 would love me back.
