Congrats Brian and welcome to the forum

Sounds like your a natural when it comes to driving efficiently (or did you get a little prior help the forum ). Did you get the manual or CVT? What was your last vehicle?

I am a aggressive driver, but with new car, I was little conservative. I used to have RL & S2000.

I wanted to get 5 speed but they only have CVT. but CVT is really works great when I stuck into the rush hour traffic(happens almost everyday).

TOday traffic was great(not normal).

When auto stop working? I noticed auto stop alway not triggered.

Auto stop feature only works under certain conditions. This can also be found in your owners manual.

-the temp of the engine coolant has to be near or at normal operating temp
-must have sufficient vacuum for brakes
-fan/ac must be off or have econ button on
-auto stop will reset when you travel above 10 miles per hour after your last auto stop
