I just got a nice box of La Aurora Preferidos... Ill have to try that, have not brought myself to have one in it yet does that do a good job of keeping the odor down?

My Pilot's over 1 year old, I've treated the seats twice with Zaino and I still get comments from non-smokers that the Pilot still smells new..........

(my brand is Partagas Black)........

Full Auto except when I fire up a fine Havana - then, I make sure recirculation mode is off (and a window is cracked).

What gives it that new car smell the Zaino or the cigars? (Or is it the natural breeze after smoking the cigars?)

Like Rocky, I haven't been through a summer yet but I have had to occasionally turn the fan up manually when I get in and the Pilot is hot. The auto setting will engage the recirculate but won't turn the fan up all the way. Waiting to see winter brings.

Do also occasionally open the sunroof and turn the air off and crack the windows. (Except in the morning when there is dew on the roof - see other post about lessons learned about a sunroof.)

I use manual all the time. I think full auto is to loud.

midwester · 10-06-2005, 05:35 PM

Manual, because I like to have the cold air on my feets too.

Zaino is a deodorizer? not familar with it, but sounds like I sould be

On Auto with the A/C off. But this summer, the A/C was on a lot.

Leather conditioner. Brings the leather smell back........smells great. can also use it on the vinyl surfaces........

I guess I voted wrong. I put manual. I use the temp on auto, but can't stand full auto with the fan. I like to have air moving, anything below 3 bars is unacceptable to me in the Pilot. The dumb full auto slows the fan way too far down.

Now if I could program it with a lower limit of thre bars on fan speed, I'd be there.

I prefer full auto...my wife however is not familiar with the concept of a thermostat. It's either full blast blue til she's cold, then full blast red till she's hot, and repeat.
