Hi i just wondered if its normal for the engine to get up to temp after like 10 mins driving ? its not overheating or nothing but never owned a mid engine car before i thought id ask ? maybe coz its in the rear with less air flow is what im thinking .

Are you thinking that's quick or slow? Mt TF gets up to temp much quicker than 10 minutes if that helps?

Normal! The radiator is up front so the mid engine position is not really instrumental in my opinion, though others will no doubt disagree.

The K-series engine was originally designed for a run around car in towns/cities and short trips with 1.1 & 1.4 options, so it was made to warm up quickly
