For those in sub -20C climates.

What is your cx-5 starting like, not plugged in, in temperatures colder than -20C? I started mine this morning on the first -30 day(-20 in the garage) and it started pretty slowly and rough. Kind of concerned it won't be that stellar of a winter starter. All the cars I've ever had prior started significantly easier at -20.

Went through a week of -16C (-30C including windchill and I have no garage) and it started maybe ~1-2secs slower than usual overnight and obviously took longer to "wind down" the RPM on the coldest days, but other than that no significant issues during the week.

My previous Mazda3 2.3L took longer if I remember correctly, but this may just be due to the battery getting older back then.

A few -20 lately and it started a bit slower with a rough idle but not worst than my previous Speed 3.
If i dont give it time to warm up, the transmission is very very slow, other than that it look ok to me.
