Does anyone else's Mazda 2 run roughly with the A/C switched on?
Mine idles roughly, jerky throttle and hesitates when changing gears with the A/C running.

With the A/C switched off, it runs fine. Sometimes, idle can be a tad up and down with the A/C off but none of the other symptoms.
 
Yep, It actually takes quite a bit to turn over an A/C compressor, and since the Mazda 2 has a pretty low power engine it drops RPM when the A/C is switched on.

That's exactly what seems to happen, the rpm's seem to be sucked down by the A/C (when running) between gear changes.
