I recall the stratus holding drive when cold, but since only 2 drivers in the house, I'm parked inside. When at work if in single digits F, I can't let it get that cold. One of the belts, I think PS, will slip so I can't take the chance of letting it get to ambient temp when below the teen's F. I'll take it for a drive over lunch, otherwise it may smoke the belt at 5.
If above teens, hit the key and drop it in gear regardless of what car I'm driving, after 250k on malibu and 216k on stratus I think it's working OK.
Edit: I guess I should add my attached garage with radiant floor heat is only 4 years old, the car's endured cold starts most of their lives. I do also have a detacted garage so they never got warm up while scraping, start and go.
