Austin, TX to Chicago, IL to New York City then back.

3900 miles

This was in my MR and it was a fun trip, I just wish that I had cruise control.

I bought my car in San Francisco and drove it home to CT. So, the first experience I had in my car was a 3700+ mile road trip. In the 4 days of driving, the longest day was 18.5 hours with an oil change several hours in.

I had no issues, but the car was completely stock and started the trip with 3983 miles on the odometer.

I was fine without cruise control because my last car didn't have it. And I think the Recaros are quite comfortable, especially compared to the seats in my Impreza.

Detroit to Deals Gap.........about 9 hours. Seats were super comfortable, but like others have said, the exhaust drone on the highway got old after a while (RS*R Exmag).

Doing the same trip again this year, but switching back to stock exhaust

550 miles through texas one way.. not too bad except for the obvious no cruise control. greddy exhaust wasnt too bad, but im coming from a car that had an open exhaust (drone city).

seats are actually more comfortable than I thought they would be, especially if you tilt back a couple extra degrees for cruising.
