Cranks over a few seconds before starts when cold?
So the weather has gotten a bit colder here (mid 40s) and I'm noticing it takes a few more cranks before lighting off. Its a 2014 and I've only had it about a month. Is this normal, or something that should be looked at? Is there a high pressure fuel pump in the tank like the C6 and earlier, plus obviously the super high pressure for the direct injection?

Normal, May take as long as 7 sec in sub zero weather.
Yeah, fuel pump in left gas tank + high pressure cam driven pump for direct injection.

Awesome, thanks for that link. I parked it friday night, and started it up today (sunday) so I figure the pressure bled out over that time. Its starts up normally when warm or later the same day.

#4 on the list of normal C7 things listed below. #1 caught me off guard right away, I thought I ran over something or had a suspension problem. #7 still makes me shake my head.
