I think it's normal, was it sluggish before the cold weather came? There are engine block or oil pan heaters so your car is warmer during start up. I have one on my suburu winter beater and the car gets fully warm in 5 minutes.

To give you some "reassurance," it is normal.

ask yourself this question?

How would you feel if you had to wake up and suddenly sprint a mile?


Ask your car that.

lol i would love that lol jk^

Where can I get those block heaters? I was thinking it was normal, i just had a brain fart......

I had to talk my wife out of selling it, she said it was to much trouble to warm it up every time we need to drive it.

Just in case you are still driving on the stock Advan tires...... They do not grip at all in freezing temps. They're a summer tire only. Swap them quick, before your wife really has something to complain about.
