I still have an issue of letting the car run unattended in the first place. I got this car to minimize pollution, save fuel and the concept of running the car just to defrost the windows defeats that concept big time. Get the engine heater option if it's that big of a deal. OK that won't work at work in a parking lot unless you're in Minnesota and they have outlets everywhere (I'm told).
