Other than all the debate going about after market heating and or demister system, you will all notice by my flag I live in a historically colder climate
Whether it is true or not not to leave your car idling on cold start, I keep that in mind always. With my previous VW Sharan 1.9 Tdi or my current Stilo 1.9 JTD I am driving in 5 minutes flat, the VW took ages to heat up and get the heat going, the Stilo is a bit quicker especially with the heated seats and my drive time is only 10 minutes to work, even with heavy fog, so be it -22° C (which is cold
) I am still off in 5 minutes.
My secret is.......

Oh in my Stilo I have the Climatronic or whatever you call it so pushing the demister button really gets the fan and heat going
