Tell you; I'd probably buy one w.o. A/C.
I'm allergic to A/C's. Never use it in any of my cars.
I have to be very careful with A/C's because I get a soar throat really quick. It's a dry air thing. Not enough moisture.
It's also why I really DON'T like cars with Climate Control, those darn things constantly activate themselves when I don't want them to.
Then only way I can somehow get thru the A/C ordeal is by constantly chewing / sucking cough mints or such which keep my throat from drying out.
That's one of the reasons I hate long distance flights; I alway get out with a soar throat or a cough.
Doesn't matter how hot it is; I just roll down the windows if I have to.
On a side note; I also prefer the much less cluttered engine bay on non A/C cars. It just looks better!
Unfortunately there aren't that many Can Ams without A/C. Otherwise I would have waited for one of those. The one I just bought is an A/C car, but it didn't work because the compressor clutch failed. I like functional equipment, but it sure wasn't a dealbreaker for me.
