The real luxury for me was four knobs (or often sliders). https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W9AjhGko2mA/maxresdefault.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W9AjhGko2mA/maxresdefault

The fourth one controls recirculate, and it allowed you to set in-between positions between 100% recirculate and 100% fresh air.
To simultaneously optimize pollution/humidity/CO2 I find I prefer about 80% recirculate and 20% fresh air, but achieving this configuration is impossible in most (all?) modern cars.
- hammock 2y agoIt is achievable in every car by cracking the window
- aitchnyu 2y agoI used to do it in my former Skoda Fabia and the window just collapsed. Thank Indian roads. I noticed there is a subtle final movement from "cracked" to closed and I guess there is a big difference in vibrations related wear. Toyota ran ads encouraging owners to crack windows in the rain and I noticed no final movement. But I'm not risking it.
- schiffern 2y agoThat's the workaround I'm forced to use, but obviously the disadvantages are noise exposure and forgetting it's cracked resulting in rain entering the car. :-( Yay for "progress" eh? I know the recirculate door servo can stop halfway, just let me control it...
- oalae5niMiel7qu 2y agoPutting the recirculation door on a servo was another dumb MoDeRn car idea. Bring back the mechanical control that never failed.
