Haha perhaps!! Well I grew up in Colorado and took my car to Arizona with me and had none of the issues my mom's car experienced, so maybe it was acclimated to seasonal changes? It was funny to hear my mom complain about the Lexus when it was cold, but when I drove it in Denver when I would come home from Christmas I definitely noticed myself the car "didn't like" the cold. The whole dash wouldn't light up for several seconds, the idle was rough, all sorts of weird behaviors if it was below about 40 degrees. Above 70 degrees or so the car ran beautifully!

I have certainly noticed here in the winter time that the rear passenger door lock sticks really bad and sometimes even the driver rear passenger door. In the summer time none of the locks stick. I don't seem to have any mechanical issues that vary from season to season however (extreme heat notwithstanding like for AC/cooling system stuff).
