Slow turnover?

Wonder if anyone else thinks the engine turns over a little slow. I am in the N.E. and it has been well below freezing so I expect the engine to slow a little in the morning but it seems slower than I am used to. I have not had a 4 banger in about 20+ years so maybe it's because I was used to V8s and V6s. The car has never faild to start within a second or so but just wondering. Thanks, Jake :?

My element turns over a bit slow, too. It's well above freezing in the morning, and the Element is garaged all night. I think it may just be a characteristic of the engine. (BTW- how long are we talking here? When I turn the key, it takes about 3 "cranks" before roaring (well, more like purring) to life.)
