Maybe pushing my luck here (but I am an opportunist). Any ideas why
the aircon light (and I assume the aircon) on a Nissan MIcra should

If it is so it is a dumb design. A/C on in any car takes a fair bit of
drive power, the car slows down. In a car like Nissan Micra which I
think is of 1600 or 1400 cc it would mean engine would struggle to
move with even an additional passenger on board.

Given that you clearly have no experience, why make stuff up?

I€˜ve driven plenty of small hire cars with A/C that manage just fine,
even with extra passengers.

Depends what you mean by fine. All AC takes quite a bit of power to drive
it and that power has to some from somewhere.

Utter ********. Takes very little. I've had several small engined cars
with air con. Current is Suzuki Alto 1 ltr
