And his cat, Bucket.

-20% range, cabin temp 70-70F. Man, I'd never keep it that warm. I wish my cat was that chill in the car. Sometimes she is.

I’ll bail on my CT if it can’t keep the cabin warm. I live in Wisconsin. We hit -20 a few times a year, and it’s quite cold. My crappy little Ford Fiesta ST and my Dodge Ram are both capable of keeping me comfortable on my 90 mile commute. If the CT can’t do it, I’m out.

Your 'crappy' little Ford produces so much extra heat that it can't turn off that it runs better with the heater vents turned to 'high' in the summer. ^-^

But the CT will probably have heater surfaces as well as a heat-pump and resistive heat. It'll be fine.
