Around -4 degrees last weekend. Cranked more than usual to start. I also stayed out of second for the first couple of miles.

But the positive of having a small car is that it takes that much lesser time to warm the interior. And the heated seats are a life saver!

2F a few days ago. It didn't like starting, but once it did it was fine. Heated seats are awesome though.

Dipstik-sportech mentioned it was a one time thing, but does anyone regularly drive at extremely cold temps, and what sort of vehicle prep is done? (beyond thinner fluids)

It's unlikely I'll ever drive below -10F, so I don't need to... just curious.

OW20 in the winter and if it's below -15C (5F) I'll plug the car in for a few hours (2-6 depending on how cold) before I go any where. Also when I do start the car, I turn off the vents. Not sure if it helps, but I find the car (not inside) seems to warm up a bit quicker on cold days. For what it's worth I live about 5 minutes from Dipstik
