You had to get approval for the cvt model?!?!?!?! I had a honda dealer tell me I couldnt drive a cvt.
I actually had the ac quit on a 95 degree day I test drove it.
In that case unless you drive in sport mode its likely use of the hvac that us causing the auto stop issues. It senses the humidity in the air and if its above a certain amount it wont auto stop. Likewise if its in the defroster mode. Try turning it off and see if its auto stop.
Other such conditions are the state of charge of the starter battery, the state of the ima battery, engine coolant temperature, any DTCs, pressing of the gas petal while holding the brakes or shifting the cvt while stopped.
I always floor my car. I tend to pulse and glide as I drive.
