The first CX cars had wondeful air to the dash vents but no physical pipe connection to the footwells, they must have assumed air would find it's way down there, it didn't. The first fix was 3D printed parts to direct the air, that was better but definitety feeble even with the dash vents closed. I haven't felt any improvement on later cars so that seems to be as good as it gets.
Interesting, that would explain why I get no air. Surely that however must be either a mistake or a design fault.
