AWD is definitely the way to go. Last month I got a Wind AWD with the Tech Package for $43k USD. I've been averaging 4.1 mi/kwh with a mix of city and highway.
I'm with JWF. I also bought the Wind AWD with tech package. Getting about 315-320 miles of range in mostly ECO mode with Level 3 Regen braking. Did I need the AWD? No. ECO mode basically just switches the car to driving on the rear motor. But It sure is nice to push the button to Sport mode when you need to merge on the highway. Super fast, super fun. My only complaint is I'm a big, wide guy. These seats are clearly designed for thinner, smaller people. It wasn't really an issue during the test drive, but it starts to make a difference on longer trips. Just 3/4 inch of width in the front seats would make these seats more comfortable. And there's plenty of room to do it.

I completely understand what you mean about the seats. I had this problem with Japanese, as if they are made simply for shorter men.
