Default Extreme Cold Weather Starts
For those of you who live in a cold weather climate, how has the car started when the temp dips below 10 degrees? Is it really rough? Creaks? Anything to watch out for or prep?

I would plan on using the RS4 as a daily and just a little worried about starts in consistently cold weather. Thanks in advance for your input....
