Ohhhhh....... I thought you still had the ford festiva. Yeah, I love my 20 year old suzuki sidekick for the same reason. Its making HOT heat in a manner of minutes/ miles in the coldest of weather VA has to offer long before the temp meter even registers. Ive concluded the sensor is on the other side of the t stat so it only registers when it opens.

My insight takes a good 12 miles before the heat starts to rolling out the vents in it.

I was using my insight for my reference as I thought we were talking about new or late model cars.
