Best I can tell if it has an 'auto' button on the
hvac area that would be for climate control.
I'm only a month in with my Active and get 7.5 L/100 for short trips and close to 6.0 on a 1 hour freeway run, the Active has the 1.5L ecoboost.
I found I could update the sync 3 by connecting the car to home wi-fi and getting a 20 minute download which gave a better look overall. Overall driveablity is very good.
Hope to hear more about your experience.
