I do smoke, which is precisely why I never use recirculate. So you see, there are equally valid reasons to NOT use recirc.
Recirculate IMO is only good for when you need it to be colder than what is provided by the fresh air setting. If I drive behind a noxious vehicle, I turn off the fan until I pass. Using recirc after getting smogged out by a diesel piece of shit hickup truck only serves to lock in the stink. No thanks.

Man up.

You don't say? I think that part is obvious and no one is questioning that. What we are concerned about is that it will keep doing it in the colder climates...unlike every single car I have ever owned. Of course warm air blows through during the summer, we're concerned that the warm outside air is being enhanced by even hotter engine air. If it's 90 outside, it shouldn't blow 95.
Is it really that difficult to comprehend? Warm outside PLUS hotter engine air = the issue we're conmcerned about. Warm outside air not being made hotter by engine air is not the issue.
And as I said with my disclaimer, I can't really comment further until the cold weather arrives. But the initial relatively cool day we had last week is making me worry. I still have 2 cars that I drive daily so I can compare without having to say I may have forgotten how the other car reacts to heat. I'll know in a month or two.
