You can get around the heat loss with an insulated house floor, a solid wood door between garage and house, and good tight insulated garage doors. You might check on what your local fire code requires. A basement garage is always warm, so I would want a floor drain under the middle of each car. The floor should slope the right way, too. You REALLY have to insist the builder do this correctly. Otherwise, you have a lake in the basement when the snow and ice melts off the car(s). The big problem with having a garage in the basement - other than not giving you a good place to hide yourself and a couple of extra tractors should the need arise, is the stairway. An attached garage, a semi-attached garage with a breezeway, and a detached garage are almost always on the same general elevation as the house. A basement garage is going to make you use stairs every time you go from one to the other.
