^^ I agree; on our '04 Acura TSX turning on defrost turns on the AC; if I have to defrost I turn it on and then manually turn off the AC, that works on this car anyway. On my old beater '89 Acura Legend, turning on defrost does not automatically turn on the AC. As you all probably know, while it costs fuel to run AC, sometimes it's a must if you have to dehumidify the air, AC+heat does that better than just heat.
^just this past week my power steering was starting to feel real tight and hard to turn until the car heated up about 10min or so; it turned out my ps fluid was quite low, I topped it up but I'm sure I have a slow leak someplace that'll need fixin. Also, most manual trannies are obviously "stiffer" when cold and when they're nice and warmed up they are smoother; never noticed that in an auto tranny but I'm sure there is a similar effect going on.
