Default Finally made the jump from years of Esses to the RS - Startup ?
I notice that there is a bit of hesitation on startup when the engine is cold... is that normal?

Default Mine acts the same way when cold.
I don't know if it's a "hestitation", but the engine cranks for another second or 2 more that I would think.

Default Have you noticed the autostart? Just have to touch the key and the starter keeps spinning
till the car catches.

Default By cold, do you really mean cold weather, or just the engine being cold ?
Mine starts great everytime, even in really cold weather so far, and after over night frigid mountain temps last time I took it skiing.

Default Mine fires right up, as low as -5C no problem. Throttle response is sluggish for longer than I'd
like; pretty much until the "Max 7000 rpm" warning disappears. I can live with that.
