My dmax sits outside...wish I had a garage to fit this beast in. The dmax has a block heater, I plug it in on the really cold nights (below 0) starts quick and easy. Yes the remote start works. If you go diesel, make sure you get the grill cover, it helps the tranny get up to temp. The biggest problem I saw with winter driving was the trans runs very cool (if that's really a problem), but the grill cover helps. As for the short commutes, yes that is a concern, the dmax likes to get out and stretch it's legs a bit, but a nice 75 mile drive every now and then should help.
