Just wanted you guys to know that after our -35 degrees Celcius blizzard/storm last night, I went out this morning at 8AM (I got up early just to do this when it was cold) and started my car. It wan't plugged in or in a garage or anything. It started as if it was in Florida on a hot summery day!

Don't ever let anyone say the rotary isn't a winterized engine. There are very few 14 year old cars that can still start without a block heater when its -35 out!!! (It was -30 when I started it, but the low was -35!)

it's sunny and above 0 here we did get a couple inchs of snow over the last few days though. but it's gone the next day after some rain

I still would invest in an engine warmer though. I'd hate if any fuilds froze and the car overheated.

oh and the problem with the cold isn't the car not starting, it's having the metal crack and break...

mine started too, although driving it around these roads was a bit tricky

my car is good in the winter especially with this 55 degree weather we have been have, and man does it suck. I love the snow and I havent had a chance to go snowmobiling yet.

well my rex can't start without a boost in the winter
i got so fed up that i just decided to cover it up and wait till the summer to drive it

I am in Canada- I have NEVER had a problem with my car starting on the first couple cranks even in weather WAYYY below freezing. I never give it a second thought. Takes a while to warm up though.
The thing that prevents these cars from being "winter cars" is the fact the the TRACTION SUCKS!!!
Light back end+225's+5 speed=I go no where.

You forgot to add that it has been 80 degrees and sunny for the past 2 weeks, except the rain last weekend. BTW, if the weather goes back to normal, we need to go to the beach

I have made it through all the calgary weather without a plugin! I put a block heater in and havent used it yet!
