Another annoyance I have - the climate control when on auto seems to surge the fan, it goes fast and then slow instead of being constant. The vents also whistle quite annoyingly when you close the vents with the switches below them to cut off the airflow since it is always blasting out the face vents when on auto. Is this all considered normal on this car, I have had lots of cars with auto climate control and they all just worked, but it on auto and forget - this one I can't leave on auto.

I wish mine worked like that - it just blasts air form the dash vents all the time on auto, never goes to the floor and the fan seems to surge speed up and slow down a fair bit. If I close the vents at the vents it whistles because the fan is on fairly high.

Unfortunately mine works pretty much like yours. Thus, I rarely use the auto climate control.

Yep - I have probably had 5 cars with auto climate control (including an rx300) and all of them worked like expected, put it on auto and forget about it for the life of the vehicle. In the GX I cannot stand it on auto and always leave it off auto! It's very annoying that this worked better in my 20k Honda!

I have it on Auto, leave it on Auto, year round. Just adjust the temp as needed. Works great for me. My areas ambient temp range is to the warm side, winter lows around 35F (some excursions lower), and summer highs around 95F (some excursions higher!).
HOWEVER, my wife and daughter are "fiddlers". Every time I get in the GX, it's off Auto, one or more vents closed, other vents pointing in odd directions, 10 degrees difference between driver and passenger temp setting, etc. Irritates the heck out of me!
In conclusion, GX works fine, I need to "reprogram" my family!

At least they don't re-program all your radio settings.
