I have this car. Most important is that below -12C, the gas engine stays on, and won't let you drive around on electric alone. That accounts for several months of driving in our winters. Secondly, even in temps below +10C, you have less access to the battery's energy, so your range drops even independently from the usual cold temp range losses.
Pros: preheat cabin from battery
Cons: gas engine stays on
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 20000 km

Cons: died within a year, bad cell
