The behavior makes me think the CX-5 has a PTC but I can*t seem to find any documentation of it.
The PTC is only on diesels.

Yes. Lots of data to show that driving the car warms up the car much faster than idling it. Not to mention that idling results in zero MPG and pollutes a ton more.

...and a cold idling engine is running very rich. The rich condition is washing lubricant off the cylinder walls and creating a high wear situation. I never let a cold engine idle for more then a few seconds after startup.

I really don't think so. Not in modern EFI/DI engines.

Yup letting it idle to warm up is definitely worse for the car. This is why Im not a fan of remote start.
And thats a good callout. People in this forum like to get really pedantic. I think the OP definitely is just meaning warmed up as in I get warm air from the vents. Not the coolant and oil are at their ideal operating temperature.
And honestly thats what most normal people mean by warmed up.
Because gas is cheap and they don*t want to be uncomfortable even if it*s only a coupe minutes.
OP where are you??
Wondering if there are any "traded cx5 for CR-V" in other forums.
