My GF Forester with remote start at 15 minutes from start is still freezing!
I rent a number of American and Asian cars. None heat up as fast as the German cars,

I use remote start often to cool or heat the car before I get in. When parked outside, it is (was
) nice to melt he snow and ice before I opened the door and watched it fall on the seat. Even when out on errands, I start the car while walking to it with the thought that a couple of minutes for it to warm the fluids before I drive it is good for the car.
