What's full coverage fly? I presume sealed bottom means no dewiness in the mornings and less cold transfer?
The rain fly on this tent doesn't come all the way down to the ground (full coverage), so when it rains, or if there's dew, water will seep through the tent wall any place that the fly doesn't cover the tent and is touched on the inside. A sealed bottom would decrease the chance of water intrusion from the bottom of the tent, but would not impact cold transfer (other than cold via wet). Somewhat better tents will have taped seams on the bottom of the tent, and my old Ozark Trail 3p tent is taped, and better tents will have a "bathtub" floor with no seams within 6-8" of the ground.
Another potential issue with this tent is that the rain fly does not have a way to vent the humid air that will collect in the tent while you sleep. Warm, moist air is exhaled, escapes the tent through the mesh, and collects on the bottom of the rain fly where it can freeze into frost or if the tent shakes it will rain into the tent.
Ozark Trail tents do tend to be good value if your expectation is to drive somewhere, setup a tent in decent weather, and sleep in the car if it starts raining hard.
