well, if the thermostat opens at 160, it will take longer to get to 180 than if it opened at 180.
So is this a normal thing?
Pretty much every other car I own, including air cooled and water cooled porsches warm up much faster. Granted they have different larger engines, but given EPA regulations, it seems odd to me that this car would take so damn long to warm up.
