According to the manual you don't need to hold it past start, the engine will automatically "turn over" until it starts. I think it gives up after 15 seconds or something like that. When it's been very very cold here it's taken mine 4-5 seconds to start, but I've never had to hold it in.
Generally when I start the car, I crank the key all the way quickly and just let go, the car does the rest by itself.

exactly, the cranking system is sorta "smart"... Which leads to fun situations when you try start up another car without that feature
