Look there are auto-climate control people, and there are non-auto-climate control people. There's no convincing the other side, might as well be politics lol.
I lovvvve auto A/C. Set it and forget it, that's the point.
I may change temps from 68-72 but that's normal... to fine tune it. Some people will literally never change it, ever. My stepdad was like that, never budged from 70.
When I get into a rental with no auto A/C I have to adjust it like 3000 times.
Auto A/C is great.

I have cars with FULLY manual control up to per-vent 4 zone auto with IR compensation and it honestly doesn't bother me too much having full manual but the high end automatic cars literally feel perfect at all times to the point I have once came back from FL in the 80s back to snow on the ground and never felt a temp shift.

This is exactly why I thought he was messing with me actually.....I knew cars had elements there so I couldn't comprehend why you would move them

The Merc washer fluid heats up from the heat of the engine coolant when it's cold to help with that, though I'll never know how it works as it won't ever be driven in snow. But I bet on winter tires it would be a tank.

Hell no. The Auto HVAC in my 2023 is so good I have literally never touched the settings in over two years. Turned it on and off when going windows-down in the summer, yes. Re-enabled sync after my wife jacked up the temp on her side, yes. Never once adjusted the settings. It’s just perfect ALL THE TIME. That’s what luxury should be.
When I have rentals with manual controls I have to tweak them 40x per drive. No f’ing thank you.

Also, in all the cars I’ve had I feel that BMW has the best implementation of auto HVAC.
