  1. RckyMtnGT: Great point on the dual climate thing. It bugs me too that I have to adjust both knobs so they are the same temperature. Here's another quirk that bothers me in regards to the climate control knobs. The volume control knob is the same size and has the same ribbing/notches around the knob as the temperature control knob. And they are so close to each other that I'm constantly grabbing the wrong one and adjusting it when I'm driving. They should have made them different enough so if you're reaching down and not looking you aren't grabbing the wrong knob by accident.
  2. I watch a lot of YouTube car videos and ended up stumbling upon Doug Demuro. He does a lot of fun videos and one of the things he likes to point out at the quirks about cars. These are things that aren't broken or not functioning right, these are things that are working correctly.....just are weird and odd. So I thought it would be fun to have people post weird quirks they've noticed with their car. I'll start :-) Quirk #1 - This is the most odd to me. The car has an external temperature gauge and it pops up this ominous audible and visual warning when it's 37 degrees outside! Why 37, what engineer choose that completely random number. I could care less if it's 37, I want to know when it's 32 and freezing. Does it freeze at 37 in Japan lol? Quirk #2 - The way the car only tracks remaining miles available based on fuel level. It doesn't do it down to the single numbers, only by 10's. If that makes sense. So like when your getting low on gas, it'll tell you 50 miles remaining, then a while later it drops to 40, 30, and so on. It doesn't track it 50, 49, 48, 47, etc. I find that odd. Quirk #3 - The heating/cooling system. It took me weeks to figure out how to set up the system so it worked properly. Maybe it's just my car, but it seems like an inherent quirk. I've never had this issue in any other car. I was always having an issue where the air temperature was oddly changing on its own. I'd have the temperature gauge set at like 68 degrees and have air coming out the front dash defrost vents and the floor vents. But then the front facing dash vents would be shooting out hot air. I felt like I was constantly adjusting the temperature because weird changes were happening. And again, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong, just a weird quirk in how the system was designed or something. After a few weeks, I finally figured out a way to get it to work right. Odd! So those are my quirks, do you guys have any?
