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.  |
The Fiesta did not have a temperature gauge, but you could telll how warm it was by the idle speed. I did have an overheating idiot light.
