Exactly, not starting in auto mode is a good thing for the reasons of debris on the screen and low temperatures already highlighted.

Plus....there are enough bloody things in these cars that operate automatically as it is so quit being so damn lazy.

I find they work really well, responding to heavy vehicle spray once you have set your basic sensitivity they just get on with it and I tap the wiper controls far less than I ever did with a straight manual variable intermittent wipe.
