    Anyone have any suggestions as to how to best use the a/c system?
    I have had the car for two days and it's great.

    Should I leave it on auto?

    Thanks

    Usually I just leave in in auto and the temp that is comfortable
    In the winter I usually leave it in auto put disable the a/c function so the compressor doesn't run but the temp is still adjusted auto matically

    Well, since you're giving automatic climate control, just leave it in AUTO :). You can then toggle the A/C function since AUTO works with or without the A/C activated. Note that even though the screen says that the A/C is on, depending on ambient temperature, it may or may not be actually on.
