The first time I start the car after a long time sitting in the garage (with 20 degree weather outside), I am noticing the car will crank for 2-3 seconds before the engine turns over. If I start it again it will usually turn over immediately. I thought maybe it was my battery because my crazy dealer accidentally allowed the battery to get too low to start the car. Had to be jumped with only 2 miles and no gas in the car! Anyways, based on the responses above, it sounds like this is normal for the C7?

Yeah, i think it's normal. I haven't had any problems actually having the car start, and it was really cold when I first noticed it.....Can't believe that about your battery.
