  1. These COLD starts are a memory for me. Having over 25 years of regular development testing of vehicles for cold start calibration. Not just start, but the idle behaviour and following cold and warmip drivability behaviour after starting. Put simply a number of these starts would have been a dismal failure, needing too long cranking, inability to idle properly, and from behaviour very likely be extremely poor drivability. As calibration engineer I would have been embarrased to offer such poor performance. Long career in hot, cold economy, drivability and emissions for many models and types of vehicles. Now retired but do miss regular cold, to -30°C and hot testing to typically +46°C conditions. One disadvantage of this long experirnce is that now going to a car/truck dealer to evaluate a vehicle leads to generally disappointment at how poor many vehicles at the dealer perform. Many I would never buy one that behaves so badly, so not only bad build quality but bad functionality.
