I live in southern Ontario, between Detroit and Buffalo basically, so lots of midwesterner snow in the winter, heatwaves in the summer. Not chinook weather like they get in Alberta, when the temps go from like 20 below to 20 above in half a day. I could not imagine that. Also not sure if that is how the weather really is out west, my old friend told me that years ago.Quote:

My Mirage is the basic "ES" model, so it never came with AC in the first place.Quote:

I didn’t know there’s a trim that doesn’t have AC!Quote:

Just posting this non-AC workaround...

I swear by the beaded seat cover.
We just had the hottest July on record here, and I didn't run the AC.
That said, I also don't drive in city stop & crawl. 95% of my driving is on rural scenic routes at speeds where open windows work fine for me.
