The Lupo's 1.2 TDI is so effiecient that it barely stays at operating temperature. During the winter months the car uses electric heating elements for cabin heat. (Saw a link somewhere, I'll post if I find it.)

Fuel consumption as low as this leads to a problem in colder months: Not enough fuel is burned to provide effective heating for the passenger compartment. Volkswagen planned ahead though with an electric auxiliary heater that can pick up the slack where the standard system can't.
