I have a 2013 S, so feel lucky that I have the 99%-improved HVAC controls... but there's one little thing that still needs fixing.
I'm fine with the idea that pushing the Defrost button (top row center) kicks the system out of Recirc and prevents its use. A one-button, idiot proof, "give me max defrost NOW" function is a good thing... I use mine sometimes in heavy traffic when I don't want to mess with the other buttons.
My little nitpick is that when selecting air distribution (bottom row center) in non-defrost scenarios, selecting any setting that directs air at the windshield ALSO cancels and prevents recirc. This is an annoying level of nannyishness; there are many cold-weather instances where one has air going to the windshield, a bus or truck in front belches a black cloud, you stab the recirc button, and... nothing. Or rather, enjoy "essence de diesel" wafted into your face.
This would literally be one line of code to change somewhere, but would be a significant improvement in the driving experience.
