After work today, it did the same thing... anyone else had the same problem? I'm thinking it might just be the key transponder lagging or me tying to start it too fast...

1000 KM, no CEL.
I think the car (seems to) flood way too easy. If it does not start up after 2 spins or 3 spins, then it really needs a lot more spins to start.
