I got an alarm with remote start, so i usually start my car about 5 minutes before i leave (on cold start at least), and then drive with restraint until it's at normal operating temperature. Especially in the winter, at which point i also leave my heater on
.
This is how i was taught to maintain my vehicles and so this is how i do it. From what i understand also is that the remote start, perfectly starts the car every time so its also easier on the starter.
I think it is basically all subjective, and just comes down to personal preference.
