To be honest, I actually don't mind this "feature". I rarely turn off the climate control, and if I do, I usually want it back on the next time I'm in the vehicle. The part I don't understand is why it "resets" to the lowest fan setting - why not the last auto setting?

Do many of you turn the climate control all the way off very often? Even if you are lucky enough to live in an area where driving with the windows/sunroof open is a frequent option, I would think you wouldn't mind a little air circulating through the vents - just turn the A/C compressor off.
