Default 2013 gs450h - winter and garages

Do I need to have an insulated garage during the cold Calgary winters for the gs450h? Will the hybrid battery last any longer if the garage is insulated? thx

My previous 2008 and my current 2013 GSH have never sat in a garage at all. We have had single digit days and nights and very cold weeks and both cars have started up without a problem. But I am not in Calgary either. But I would think you should be fine...

I parked my car in uninsulated garage. I did not encounter any problem at all.

Thank you. For winter I am considering putting on 17" tires vs what is currently on 18" - any thoughts
