What's "car won't start" mean? Does it turn over and not catch? or does it not turn over at all?

I've only ever had this happen if I remote start the car, then get in within 30 seconds or so (which shuts the car down)... and then try to restart. Almost as if it floods. It eventually catches after cranking for 3-4 cycles of 5 second cranks.

Unfortunately, your battery is probably just getting old Original 07 Battery? My original 08's battery was replaced at the 60k service because testing showed it getting weak. I figure why take the chance; if it's >5 years old and shows low - replace. I've replaced enough batteries in the freezing cold (wife's car 4 years ago) that it just makes sense to just replace it around the 6 year mark or so.
