I was most pleased to not have to get electronic ignition
or windows. Both are very expensive and superfluous.
Power windows might be nice when I get too old to
reach across to put down the passenger-side
window. On the other hand, they don't work at all with
the car turned off. That can be maddening at the beach
while you wait for the driver to get in and start the car.
Or you have to get in to turn the key, in order to close the
passenger side window before it rains.
I doubt 1-2 seconds to turn the ignition to On will matter regarding how
much water has rained into your car.
Yes,it is only "a couple seconds" more. It is an annoyance. And
yes, it probably takes less time to put the key in than to manually
crank up each window.

No hand-cranked car windows here anymore...

Which is why automatic center punches get carried in cars &
trucks.
