Re: Starting in winter
Glad to hear it. What was the actual temperature? Wind chill doesn't
affect starting, only the rate at which the car cools down to the
actual temperature.
Coldest so far in Saint Paul (Minnesota) was about -5F. The car
cranked a little slowly, but started right up.

Re: Starting in winter
That morning my outdoor thermotor was at -27C, about -18F...tonight...
they're forecasting -28C...or -20F...it's presently (18:09 EST -18C)
Honda in garage...Left the 2004 Matrix AWD with fresh Synthetic
outside.
I should tape the sounds that baby will make tomorrow AM!
BTW that Matrix AWD is real good in the snow

Hi,
Make sure you push the gas pedal 2-3 times before engaging starter
when it is really cold. Even mentionedin the owners manual.
