haha ive actually learned a few tricks to direct the air where i want it to go playing with different levels and window combinations due to the fact that i hate using my AC.

super hot day: just both front windows down - directs all air to blow across you
feet hot: roll all but 1 BACK window down to get air to circulate to either driver or passenger feet.
nice even circulative breeze (less wind noise): all windows down
passenger hot?: driver front and back windows down
driver needs a good breeze: passenger front and back windows down
farted and want your passenger to smell it?: crack your window a few inches and open the passenger window more than yours, the high pressure on your side will force air in and force it out the low pressure window of your passenger. aka "The Vortex"

me and a friend perfected the vortex technique on deployment one year. play around with different combinations and you will hardly ever have to use AC again and you can learn how to keep the contents of your car IN YOUR CAR.

Have you been reading the thread? It has been mentioned a couple times already. btw, this happens on a lot of vehicles, at least most of the vehicles that I have purchased (all 4-doors/4-windows).

Why? I love my AC, is something wrong with the Xs? It has been proven over and over again that the performance/fuel economy lost by having the windows down is far less than that of having the AC on. But maybe they designed the AC on the Xs weird, or the windows really well... I'm sorry. You probably have some much more sensible reason for not using the AC. Like.. and ex's initials are A.C. or something.

I hear its more fuel efficient to have the AC on if your traveling 40+ mph. Better to have the windows down if your going slower than that.

Correct, but how often are you commonly going sub 40? In an EvoX?
