Hi All,
Yesterday we had our first cold day, -10 degrees celsius. I started the car in the morning around 7:30AM, let it warm up for 5 mins, without the interior heater blower running. Then put the blower on the second notch, and drove away.
I drove 7 kms, and the engine temperature gauge still didn't move. I was 3/4's way to work (total drive is 25kms), and it was almost at the 'normal' half way point. I found it odd that it took forever for the engine to get warm... (and -10 isn't really cold for Toronto).
With my Kia Soul, I would be melting from the heat at that 7 kms mark. That car just pumps out the heat. And also with my old 96 Accord, and 2000 Civic.
The heater wasn't really warm at all. Good thing that we have heated seats and steering wheel.
Anybody else find this the same? Any cold weather owners here able to share their thoughts?
Thanks!
