Mike, Don't know about the little imports but I do have experience with larger vehicles like the 454 Chevy, 460 Ford, and the fan clutches thereon. It is normal for the fan to almost freewheel when the air coming over the fan clutch is cool or when the engine is stopped. When the air coming over the fan clutch gets HOT the fan goes into lockup and will turn much faster. In most vehicles you can hear the fan come on, usually only when the vehicle is really working or stuck in traffic. I have to be running the a/c and really pulling a load or already be hot and get stuck in traffic before the fan on 460 in my F350 comes on. You can hear the fan 'kick in'! I seriously doubt if you would ever get anything hot enough for the fan clutch to come on in Canada. Hope this helps, ray
