Hi guys
I'm waiting for the delivery of my Kona 1.6T. The dealership offered me an option to buy a Webasto heating kit for the car. It costs a ton of money, so I'm wondering if it's worth it in this particular car. The main question therefore is- how fast is the Kona warming up?
I know it can be hard to measure, but maybe someone can measure the time to warm up cold engine from some given ambient temperature to full-operating temps on idle? That would let me to compare the numbers with my current car (Subaru Impreza) and help me to decide whether I need the heater or not.
The reason I ask is because it takes pretty long time to warm-up Subaru enough to de-ice the windows during cold days, so I hope with a smaller engine (not only the displacement but also physical size) that Kona has it should take less time. Here in Poland we occasionaly get winters with temps below 0*F, so it matters
Thanks for any thoughts and input!
