How long do you let your car warm up for?

In winter I do 3-5 minutes. Rest of year I run it two minutes before going.

My neighbor, no matter the weather, just goes right away. The other neighbor warms it up twenty minutes!! Even on a new car I think maybe one minute minimum is good to let the engine kick in.

-30, im letting it run 20 minutes. Not so much for the engine, but for my comfort.

@Hatt94 Is it that low of temperature where you are?

@Baybreeze some days it gets colder.
When below 0c, 32f, I'll let it run about 10 minutes. Below -25c, -13f, i let it run at least 20 minutes. Clear the windows also make it warmer inside for me.
