Yep. Seems to be a pretty common occurence with this car. I recommend plugging it in at anything below -15 celcius.

Mine will do this on the first significantly cold day. I let it die and allow the ECU to learn the symptoms. Starts fine every time after that until the ECU is retrained back to warmer temps...

Block heater - it has a plug that you plug into an eletrical outlet to keep the oil warm.

This is an option.
