It's not important to heat up rapidly, but it is important to heat up. If your engine doesn't heat up, a few things will happen:

The oil that's used to keep everything lubricated (cylinders, pistons, head, valves, cams..) won't work as it should.

Your heater would never blow hot air.

What is it when the car is cold at starting up it wont drive or back up but when your car is warm it runs perfect?

Your car has to achieve operating temperature before it functions as it should. Your heads which contain your valves are cold and don't move as easily as they do warm. This is why your thermostat doesn't open up until it reaches either 185 or 192 degrees. If you have a cold-blooded engine, you have to wait for it to warm up. You can quicken the process by revving the engine slightly. If your car is not cold-blooded, the best way to warm it up is by driving it. If your'e engine is taking a long time to warm up, your thermostat may stuck open, causing the antifreeze to cool the engine before it is even warm. Hope this helps
