 Completely.
It is very dated thinking to believe that any idling of a cold engine isn't destructive. Also, where I live there is a three minute limit on idling (city bylaw). That 15 minutes could get you four tickets.
If you can't handle driving a cold car, get heated seats and a heated steering wheel.
