I don't see it as a real problem, the engine just acts like it's cold when it's cold. But it never dies and doesn't have a rough idle. But the engine definitely acts different in the 1st 5 minutes though. But I've seen/noticed that in other cars as well. Don't all gas engines run better when warmed up?
