I own a BRZ Limited with the blasphemous Auto Climate Control.
This one is especially interesting in that the user sets only the temperature in Auto Climate Control mode, and the BRZ sets EVERYTHING else, including the vents and Recirculate mode! Very cool ... or
warm, as you like. (I just had to...
)
Apart from this, your words suggest that you misunderstand the system in this car (or in our Mazdaspeed3, too). The Auto Climate Control feature is IN ADDITION to the conventional manual controls, not INSTEAD OF those controls. It's just an extra bonus.
I can set things manually whenever I like. If I don't want the AC to come ON, then I turn it OFF ... and it stays OFF until I decide to turn it back ON. In fact, anytime I make any change at all in any setting, the system immediately reverts to manual control.
The Auto Climate Control systems on our BRZ and our Mazdaspeed3 do not replace manual control. It's just an additional feature that may be employed or not at the driver's pleasure.
The full manual control that you favor is always present and awaiting your input.
Hope that helps, else I misunderstood what you wrote, in which case just ignore this attempt to help.
P.S. I love the interior. It's a great place to work.
