I've only had the car for 11 days. I was actually reading the gauge wrong (really lame...), it was close to 200-210. I realize it's still pretty low but I was taking it REALLY easy (shifting between 2000-2500 RPMs) since I'm still breaking her in. So with the combination of the cold weather lately and the low RPMs, I'm still surprised by the higher temps. I know I'm overreacting but it's hard not to want to protect my baby
