If you haven't already sat in the NextGen seats I would try to go find them and sit in them to make sure. I like the material, but they really did feel like they needed me to hunch my shoulders to actually sit in them properly, so I found the standard seats much nicer for my build. If they work...

I'm going to do something similar - talked to my advisor and he said he'll set me up with an 85 to drive so I can compare the RWD to AWD. I'm finding it's a little hard to let go of the idea of AWD because I grew up in New England and have a sort of visceral 'AWD is better!' instinct apparently...

This is the only bit that's really worrying to me, though neither of the guys I talked to yesterday said anything like that and I haven't seen anything elsewhere (and Electricfan seems to be doing fine on range estimate with an 85). Also, I don't see any trips where I'll reasonably be pushing...
