Make sure your calipers aren't seized?

Mine is a bit sluggish for the first little bit, but does not really feel like the e-brake is on. These cars don't feel right until they are warmed up; it's normal.

San Francisco is a lot colder than South Florida, so I'm not sure whether or not your experience is normal. I have no sense of a power loss at start-up, although I always refrain from revving the engine above about 4,000 rpm until the temperature is in the normal range, which means I am out of the real meat of the power band until then.

Doesn't sound normal to me...09 70k DCT with corsa exhaust
Engine response is a little jerky for me for maybe 2 min, maybe not even that..but nothing like the brake being engaged (and I have done this before on accident). This includes low temps you would never see in SF |

Absolutely not. Something is very wrong.

I've driven my car during the MN winters before, multiple times starting it in the morning below 0 Fahrenheit. The car feels a bit laggy or hestiant for the first couple of minutes but never like the E-Brake is engaged.

Next time it's that cold, set a liter of 10w-60 outside overnight, or for a few hours. Then turn the bottle upside down. I bet you'll never drive your car in weather like that ever again. I tried that for grins a few winters ago and decided to not drive my car in the winter haha. |

I know you have an extra liter in your trunk, just turn the bottle upside down next time it's below 0F like you said. |
