Sub freezing to -5 F.

VERY sluggish when it's around zero F. I let it idle a bit then drive slowly to let it warm up before getting heavy footed. It will loose temperature when it's really cold. There is a railroad crossing about half a mile from the house, I've gotten stuck there sometimes in the winter and watched the temp gauge slowly crawl down as I freeze.

No smoke at 50 F.

My brother lives outside Detroit MI -- my niece says there is lots of stinky smoke when he starts the TDI in the winter.
