those two things are not unordinary, given that the amount of difficulty to start is not unreasonable (cars tend to crank slower when cold; some take a bit more cranking to 'catch').
also normal for them to not warm up as quickly as during the summer.
whether yours is abnormal or not is hard for anyone not dealing with the car in person to ascertain.
Tons of things to take into consideration. I was gettin horrible gas milage/ I had a fuel pressure gauge and noticed that it was at 40 with the vacuum on!!! I put on an AFPR and backed it down to 33 and my gas mileage has increased by a lot.
jwzg - I was laughing with you BEFORE the edit - I knew you were just havin' fun. I thought '35-37 mpg in the Volvo - WOW!!' I wish. I don't think it could achieve that coasting down-hill at 70 mph while idling in neutral!
Yeah JT - actually it was a pretty relaxed trip. Tunes on the CD (a new James Taylor - the other 'JT' - and Dave Grusin Christmas CD that's incredible) and my wife slept most of the trip. Playing with the trip computer was the most fun part of the ride Interstates being rather boring from a pure driving perspective.
