Re: COLD HUMMER
I've spent quite a bit of time in sub-zero temperatures. Same experiences basically. Belts whine (horribly), power steering is null at first, acceleration is slow, engine is noisy, etc.
I've always had to keep the car outside, so I would go out, hop in, and go. Not much else I could do. It would usually warm up about half way to work, and then I'd have to suffer the same fate at the end of the day.
So I'd say this is normal behavior. Actually, the BMW's I used to run in the cold put up much more of a fuss. Except for the damn battery, the H2 usually doesn't have a problem starting in the cold.
PS I'm sitting here in about 10F and I just ALMOST had the battery not turn over the engine (AGAIN!). I didn't have my jumper pack either! UGH! I need a new battery.
