this might not mean anything to some of you out here but the air-recirculation selection stays on the previous setting regardless whether you turn off/on climate control, or turn off/on the engine.
i know some people might not recommend it, but i 'always' drive with recirculation on- i can't stand the slightest whiff of diesel exhaust. in many other cars with climate control, it defaults to outside air every time you turn on the climate control, and this is particularly annoying in sydney with all the traffic on the roads.
oh, and
-the electric windows still remain active for 45? seconds after u turn off the engine...
-the volume of the stereo fades in when you switch it on
-there is a grab handle for the driver (unusual for a japanese car)
