I know for the FR-S if the AC is off the air coming out of the vents is not cooled or dried even if the temperature knob is set to cold/blue (cold/blue just means not heated). This reduces load on the engine and helps fuel economy.

Some cars run the AC compressor on a low setting all the time, meaning the air is cooled and dried a very small amount even with AC in the off mode. Turning on the AC in these cars runs the AC compressor on full.

In the FR-S, AC off mean the compressor is not running at all. AC on means the compressor is running at full capacity.
Yes that's why I said it's totally crazy , that my previous super ancient car toyota celica Liftback GT 1979 model , could blow cold AIR fine meaning the air coming into the cabin either recycled or from the outside is cold, by cold I mean no AC on at all. And in this new car if I shift the knob to cold blue the air keeps being hot, and besides that the windshields keep getting foggy easily by no apparent reason ( i'm at least ttrying to discard the rubber grummets not placed, being the culprit, or some water got inside the car)
This should be named as a design flaw. I don't think cars like ferraris or veryron if you let the air to be blown as cold gets in as hot from the engine bay?. Or is it like that
Talking about the AC my model has the normal HVAC system no automatic climate control . Does this mean the compressor runs on all the time ? and on the automatic climate control version of the tOYOTA 86 the compressor turns on and off to save fuel economy I never understood that.
