Can't help you with that one.  I own a '97 GLX.

Yes, that is normal operation temp.  In fact if you look in the owners
manual I think it's okay up to about 260.  Mine has been at around 236
doing 70 mph in 104 degree heat.  I do run synthetic oil, in my opinion,
synthetic helps.

Not true.  The heated seats are part of a "winter package".  It includes,
heated mirrors and washer jets also.

Hope I helped alittle.
