Thermostat's come in different temperatures, 185 degrees, 190,192,195 etc. The 2.5l works best at 195.

Check and make sure the heater core is not plugged up with rust or the heater valve is functioning properly.

Mine has always had that issue when it gets cold out,I just cover about half the radiator with a piece of cardboard during the winter.
