...the recirculate on/off button (Pre 99) to a naff mechanical slider on the MY99? You know, to do with the air vents etc.

The button is much better IMHO

Any ideas??

Dunno, probably cos it's cheaper!

I also don't like the way they changed from a dial to a slider for the fan speed. Temp controls on the <MY97 are better IMO, although everything else about the interior is better on the >MY97.

If you really hate it you could try and install the controls from an import with climate control, it has a button for recirc although likely it would be a PITA to install!

Don't know either it seems a rather strange thing to do.

Ah well, the button is back in the MY01+.

But does it still make that cool noise.

The oddest thing is that I have no controls to turn off individual vents on my MY00

the best feature i had on my MY98 though was the special 'bright' button for making the clock brighter when the lights were on...invaluable!

afaik scoob's have always had BRIGHT buttons - its an extra feature - if you leave it off you get an extra 5BHP...

also they changed to the slidy air director control as it was less weight than the older one.. therefore pushing the car to the limits of performance...

this is similiar to the reason why all the Yatea massive drive around with there Ariels down (UK cars) as you get better car stability, less body roll and more aerodynamics...

UK scoobs have the bright buttons

Imports don't. Infact Subaru went further with my 94, saving weight further by just not bothering with a clock full stop

Ahh on the MY01-> the bright switch is no more! It is now on the stalk with the lights!! <wow>

You can set the clock and odometer brightness independently of the lights!!

Amazing!

as i've never been in an import - i bow my head in shame @ my poor scooby knowledge in respect the master

i wonder how much time and money the Fuji Heavy Industry's R&D Division spent on that feature
