    My car actually does the same thing, and I just recently changed my thermostat to a 180*. By recently, I mean like a month.

    Mine does the same thing. It's not too cold here in FL (49) but with the heat on, and not sitting in traffic, it takes forever to warm up, but the heater is HOT.

    I was having the same thing, even threw a low coolant temp P code a couple times. Swapped out the t-stat for a new standard temp, rock solid 195's now.
