The point is to give the driver "control" of all the windows in the car.
The driver shouldn't have to give up control even for a few seconds in order
to open his/her own window. No it's not difficult or serious, but it's an
obvious engineering/design flaw that along with the other obvious flaws in
the new version released in 2003 that should have been corrected while the
car was still in design spec. stage.

Other flaws? 1. Location of hood release. 2. Dash level airflow leak
when set for feet or windshield. 3. No interior light sensor to adjust
dash lights brighter when headlights on during daylight (overcast, rain,
etc.). All minor annoyances to be sure, in an otherwise fine vehicle, but
ones that would have cost little to nothing to rectify if recognized early
enough.
