Almost same as above. Auto defaults to cabin air temp setting, treats it like gospel. If I've been out biking in 40F for 3 hours, I want the car on max heat for a few minutes to warm up my extremities, but then turn it way down because my core temp is probably high.
Cruising on road trips, we like the cabin at 66 and seat heaters on 3 or 2.
Summer is the opposite. I need cold air blowing on me for a while usually, to cool off from the heat, regardless of cabin temps. Max cool, until my body temp stabilizes. Then keep it at about 68 usually (other cars)(IDK in the Y yet, no summer driving), but wife and I like different temps blowing on us.
For us, it's not about the cabin temp, it's about the air temp blowing on us, so we need to finesse the settings to get what we want.
Auto has never worked in any car ever, for me, since it was invented. Always turn it off and leave it off, for years.
