I like the seats as well. They're not too hard. They're firm enough so that you're not sloshing around in your seat when making directional changes. Although, I wish it had more lumbar support for when pulling G's through twisty roads.
With city driving, I usually see about 400 miles to the tank. With city/highway, I can get 500. And with smooth steady highway speeds, I've gotten over 600.
The autostop still works at up to (and possibly higher) 117 degrees. I've been there on numerous occasions this past summer! But you're kinda right about the A/C. When the car is first started, it takes the A/C a while to cool off the interior. So, the A/C runs at high fan speed. After the interior cools down, and the fan speed slows, autostop works just like any other time. Even when it's 100+ outside. Something else I found interesting is some people say their autostop doesn't engage when until the car is fully warmed up (in the winter). By the time I've gone about 100 yards, and hit two stop signs, my autostop engages at the third stopsign. But then again, the winter temps around here hardly get below 50 degrees!
