Absolutely. I'm not sure if the extra radiator in the PPK2 makes this characteristic more or less pronounced than non-PPK2 cars. A couple of weeks ago it was only +5F (-15C) and still took only about 20 minutes to get to 235. At about 5 minutes the needle is just starting to move off of 160. I usually add a few miles to my commute to ensure it gets up to operating temps.
