The next time you get a car, get one with a thermostat. It’s an uncommon option and I don’t know how much it costs, but the Ford Taurus my parents bought off the lot happened to have one. In other cars, the heat and air conditioning tend to overshoot, leaving me cold in the summer and hot in the winter on long trips.
Turn down the heat/AC once the car has reached temperature? It’s been −10C or so here for most of the last month, and I turn the heat down halfway on any long road trips, because blasting it for more than 20 minutes is silly. It’s really easy to get a thermal equilibrium with a traditional car thermostat.

I often don’t notice it’s okay to turn it down until it’s already overshot. :(
