What is the coldest temperature reading you have ever seen on your Vibe? Today was -32C.

The lowest I've seen is 14F.. And that is about as cold as it gets.. and thats an extreme cold for here.On the flip side.. I've seen mine up to 110F.. and have seen 115F when first starting up! It always cools down once I drive..

i dont usually look at it, but next time it gets below -40, i'll have a look. It always seems off on mine though, i know i've seen it at -28, when they say the temp is -35 and add the windchill to be -45.

Thanks everyone with their replyDouble- may be you should snag some picture when your temperature display hits this -40C. I think Winterpeg is one of the coldest place to live in Canada. By the way, does your engine tick/ping quite a bit if you don't plug in the block heater when park outside overnight?Mine 09 Vibe does ping a bit if I don't plug in the car when temperature go beyond -25 C.I should try switching to Toyota's 0w-20 synthetic blend next winter.
