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.
It's a manual trans and I think I just drive too lightly. If I leave my parents house and head home, I have to go up a pretty significant hill about 2 miles from their house. Once I'm up the hill, I have full heat and engine is up to temperature.

The thermostat was tested good so I can't do anything warranty wise.
