I didnt know there was a cca rating for batteries, interesting. The only problem i have with the SC in the cold is the freezing leather.

Last winter I started my Soarer in -30 celsius (-22 F) without problem and I didn't have additional motorheater back then. Though one day my radiator fluids frozed and I had to replace the old fluids to new that resist more cold.
The biggest problem were that the transmission oils got quite sticky in cold and
I had difficulties to start moving (automatic trans.).
If I remember right my battery was 900 cca.

mines starts up fine, i have the red top optima battery. but the transmission feels rough especially around 10-20 mph until it warms up.

My car has 300,000+ miles and a somewhat new alternator, but it gets about 12-30 degrees out here in wa most of the time in the morning and she starts up fine. it may take her a few more seconds to start up, but never had a problem.
Probabaly battery.
