I have had 0 problems with my car...granted, Ive had it only since March 13. But I have put on 1500miles in the past 2 weeks. As far as starting the car, I haven't had a problem with it starting on the first try, and I live in Rochester, NY . . . where the average temp last month was 21degrees F. Sometimes it might take 1 or 2 seconds, but nothing major like you were saying. The only "problem" I have had has only cropped up twice, both when the interior of the car was fairly cold. The front dash would creak on bumps, but would get better and go away as interior warmed. It was 20degrees F outside when it was doing it yesterday. I dont know if Im lucky or you guys aren't, either way that crap shouldnt be happening on a new car and I wish you the best of luck. Keep us posted.
