This last week has been SUPER cold. By the time I'm getting to work, I'm finally getting some mild warmth (not even heat) out of the car.
The thermostat is good but this car just does NOT make enough heat.
If the car was out of warranty, I have a few things I'd like to try.

Wow, that seems abnormal. I have three Focii in the fleet I maintain. Last night I picked up a 2001 SOHC in a remote lot two miles from my shop and I was getting some heat about 2/3s of the way back. It was single digit temps last night. You might want to see if you have a warranty issue or if there are any technical service bulletins for your model year.
