Re: Questions....
The Prius has a supplemental electric heat element that augments the amount of cabin heat it can produce any time the engine is too cold to produce adequate heat, so they did think about that. I know in our Prius I it likes to keep the engine running at stops during the winter if you have the fan on, it's funny because you can reliably turn the engine off and on by turning the fan off and on. Heat is not really a problem as long as you realize that it will affect your mileage because the EPA tests do not use any accessory, including heat and air conditioning.
