Yes it's normal, The colder it is outside, the longer the motor takes to warm up.

yes normal - there no temp gauge on the yaris just a light to tell you whether it is cold or hot.
If there was a gauge the needle would sit at the bottom for a couple of minutes on a cold engine and slowly move to the middle wouldn't it? - wish the yaris had one though....
