The car doesnt want to start right away the first time...this happened twice during cold start...it kind of worries me in winter? Today's weather is around mid 40's so it's not even that cold. Should I worry...? Thanks.

6-8 cranks and I stop...then I try again and starts with 2-3 cranks.

Default I haven't had that yet, but as it gets colder out in the NE

it seems to require a couple more cranks than it used to.

Remains to be seen how these FSI engines will handle the real cold.

Default No.

This could happen if you have low, bad, or wrong gas. Also make sure your gas cap is tight. Also when its damp out.

Default How long do you have the key in the on position before turning it over?

If I recall reading, it helps to leave it in the on position for a few seconds for the fuel pressure to build up.
