Reply to comment by landwomble in In-Car Climate Control Design: How It Has Gone Backwards and How to Fix It by nastratin

Nope. I live where it gets really hot in the summer and really cold with snow and ice in the winter. I want to be able to put full blast heat on my windshield sometimes, either recirculating air or pulling it from outside depending on whether there is ice on the outside or fog on the inside. In the summer I want full blast AC. In the spring and fall I generally just want air circulating from outside the car.

Sure, defrost/defog buttons get used, but summer or winter, with climate control you set a temp you want and the car sorts it out and maintains that temp. I guess with older style aircon with no temp sensing you might need to manually fiddle with it but on modern cars - I don't see the point. I don't want to be cold in summer, I want to be comfortable all year round...
