A/C while breaking in Engine

Just got my car this past week and Ive already put on 500 miles and loving every bit of it. ive read some of the other post on breaking in the engine, and was wondering if blasting the A/C everytime i drive would effect the full potential of the engine later. For some reason the car feels a little sluggish at time .. or maybe its just in my head since i havent really push the car past 4000 rpm. Did you guy do the same when you first got your car, keeping in mind that ive been using the a/c since it is a new car.

Re: A/C while breaking in Engine

That's how I drive my car a/c on everytime I hardly open my window. It shouldn't present any problem a sluggish engine when new is usually normal. Wait til you hit around 2500 miles then your engine will start to feel loose and should provide more fun.

Re: A/C while breaking in Engine

The reason the car feels sluggish is due to the AC belt for the compressor to kick on. Im not sure if the G does this but on most high end cars, the compressor kicks off when you floor it.
