Acceleration is slow when AC is on

[justmazduh]

Hi Ive got 2011 mazda 3 with 100km on it now. Bought the car at 75km last year, now I just notice that Whenever Im accelerating and turn on the AC it feels like the car is getting slow when AC is turned on. Any thoughts about it, let me know. thanks

Nothing new since 2004.

This issue is common among all the cars I've owned. I don't think its specific to any one model.

AC needs to pull a little bit of power from the engine to run.
