An efficient car with low rolling resistance and low drag is going to take longer to warm up since the engine is having to do much less work to keep it moving. I recently drove my dad's 02 Honda Civic sedan and compared to my car it felt like you were always driving through mud or shallow water and its engine warmed up much faster than mine does (and got much worse mileage).
