some cars can have an annoying feature in that they will blow outside air until inside air is down to outside air temps before running the aircon. a fuel saving feature but it take a long time before aircon actually kicks on.  

 

 

which cars?

Not sure if you know but are you aware that the 3-cylinder engine Swift will need 95 fuel?

My Ford Escape does this. If the climate control is set to 18*C and the outside air temp is only 14*C then then the air-con won't come on when you first start the car. You have to manually overide it to turn it on. Its annoying, just because its cool outside it doesn't mean that you don't want the air-con on to dehumidify the incoming air.
