I have a 05 honda civic ex. As soon as I start it, I drive away!

 

me to..


if anything 2 minutes

 

2 mins in the summer, 5 in the winter.

 

same here. i just drive right after i start it. you'll burn gas just idling and its bad for the engine.

 

in modern cars, you can actually just start up and go.

 

I let it idle enough for my broken car to stop shaking, then i take it easier than normal until it's at normal temp. Then I still drive it easy .

 

Crank it and go....

 

i start it, use the california duster, and go. so maybe 2 minutes

 

i start it and let it warm up for like 5 seconds or less and go. just to get the fluids circulating a little bit.

drive easy at first and w/es after.

 

1-3 min. then i am gone.

 

30 secs in winter
Any other season I just start and go. I take it easy until im at operating temps.

 

about 5-10 mins cuz it doesnt get driven daily so ill let it sit in the garage then come out.

 

well if your in texas you wait for the damn a.c. to kick in or else your *** is toast.

 

Wow! I'm so surprised to hear everyone say that they don't wait at least a little bit before they drive off. I've always felt that my car performs better when I let it warm up.

I have that Matrix security system, so I've got remote start...
I let it idle for something like 5-6 minutes while I'm getting ready, so either get the heat, or AC going.
Maximum 12 minutes, that's when the system shuts off if you don't get in the car and insert the key.

 

2-3mins. i live in hawaii so theres no summer/winter warmup times

same here, 30 sec tops if i gotta find a good song on my ipod.

 

proper way to warm up a car is to start it and let it idle for no more than 30 seconds and then start driving it at below 2k rpm's so it slowly warms up.

I do this. Unless I forget something inside the house it's usually no more than 1min idling

 

if boosted people with over 200whp all the way to 400whp+ dont even need to let it idle, people with bolt ons dont either.
