Poor Air Conditioning on MS3

[RPI-Speed3]

Anyone that has an MS3 notice the air conditioning doesn't work that well unless you are driving around 50 or have the foot on the gas? This was a big issue with the RX-8 and the only fix was to wrap a bunch of heat shielding around the A/C return pipe to the cabin. Has anyone checked this out in the MS3? It seems that if you let the engine bay heat soak, the A/C goes to crap. This seems to be a Mazda problem as the Toyota's I've owned didn't have this issue.

I was actually surprised at how quickly my air became cool just sitting after I started the car.

I had the same problem. When I took it to the dealer, they flushed the system and it's worked perfect ever since.

+1 I can hang meat in mine. Take it to the dealer and have them check it out. You may have a bad thermo-switch, but thats just a guess.

I have a similar problem. If im in stop and go traffic or just parked with the a/c on it blows warm air. If im moving in the highway gets nice and cold.
