I’m sure sandange hold the cold weather driving record, but this morning was the coldest for me and our little ice cube (-28c).
We don’t have the luxury of parking our car indoors, so our little (i) must face the elements full on.
Daytime temperatures for the last three days:
- Friday: -8c (the temp dropped fast during the evening)
- Saturday: -22c
- Sunday: -23c
I preheat the car for 15 minutes, and left the house early in the morning for a 27km drive to work.
Average speed for the first 20km (105 kph) after that it was stop and go (15-30 kph max).
The heater was set to 1 click heater, 2 clicks fan + seat warmer on.
Almost no icing on windows with the exception of rear driver side (slight frosting).
I was comfortable thanks to heated boots + gloves warmer & nice thermal underwear (fyi: glove warmers + thermal undies are exceptional and only used in extreem cold condition - love the heated boot warmers).
I arrived at the office with a total of 4 bars used (elevation = relatively flat).
We’re still very impressed with the performance of our little Mitsubishi.
When people ask if it’s cold in the car I just say that it’s like taking a calèche drive on a nice winter day.
