Porsche must believe that forcing the compressor to run at least once every start, they are preventing problems with the system.

If it were "off" for an extended period of time, leaks, bearing problems , etc may occur. IMHO

Climate control always comes on when I first start the car.

That's why is called Climate Control. In the auto mode it will either cool or heat your car, just like your house. Also, I have owned convertibles for over 40 Years. They can smell a bit with hot & humid climates. I use to drive my Corvette in the winter with the top down and the heat blowing. Summers where just the opposite.

Drove my car today...how nice to finally get it out of the garage. I looked and my climate control is set in the manual mode; temp reading lo and fan on minimum...no irritating issues upon start up. I've never left the controls on automatic as long as I've owned the car.
