Nope. That's common to all Fiestas. Our Focus does it too. Annoys the hell out of me.

Oh, welcome to AFF too

Unfortunately no, the climate control option in Europe isn't available here otherwise I'd had got that as well. However, welcome to the Fiesta world, what model did you get? Feel free to post up some pictures of your baby

thanks for the answers, thats a pain in the ***, i usually dont notice until im breathing in some toxic fumes of a truck in front of me.

i downgraded from a 2008 V6 outlander. I read great reviews about the fiesta. I got a basic 5 door CL, but it came with alloys coz the dealer couldn't manage to switch them out by the time i picked it up.

Very impressed with the car to be honest.

I've gotten into a five point checklist when entering the Fiesta. Seatbelt, turn car on, select USB play from audio, adjust aircon or put windows down and check lights/fuel etc. Give it a month or so and putting recirculate on will come as natural as the left hand indicators!

And for the record, you have have gone down a size but I reckon you've upgraded! The Fiesta is a little ripper, hope your driving experience with it is an enjoyable one.

yeah had to get the manual of course, little cars like this are great fun in a manual. reminds me of my old bmw 318ti sport in alot of ways.

its a brilliant car can deffinately see why it is number 1 in its class, its far better to drive than even a bigger lancer or corolla.

on a side note, i loved my VR outlander, fantastic car as well i think it was very underrated.

but im loving the fiesta

Those MIVEC engines are great, the V6 certainly is under rated and with the CVT trans just is magic.

There must be a way that ford can program the recycle function to be default setting? if not shouldn't be too hard to sort out a switch which reverses the action of the physical button on the dash.

I'd imagine its done deliberately so the car is not left completely sealed when locked up and left for a while. That's how it was on my old Subaru.
