Just wonderin, if i was plannin a road trip at the end of the year, how would my wrxxy handle the long drive (freo to Coral Bay possibly...) if i can get someone else to drive I will def for sure, coz i'm not too keen on putting the km's on my car, but if worse comes to worse, what should i expect?

Drove my old 94 wrx with sti short ratio gearset to sydney and back without issue. I think youll be ok

Don't see why it wouldnt be a problem, unless you had a fart can on an auto & it was drone central.

I've driven my Forester Albany>Perth heaps of times with no annoying problems

Mine was awesome!! Quiet, smooth and economical.

My old WRX used to do the same trip every weekend for a while there. They are fine.

Coral Bay is a fair distance, but if you stopped every now and then you should be all good? It will probably even do your engine some good (cleaning out carbon etc)

I haven't been up that way for a while, but I think most of the petrol stations only offer Premium Unleaded?

i dunno why it would be different to any other car driving a long distance tbh
as long as you don't redline it all the way

I drove my rex this year to Coral Bay with coil overs and all.

Was slightly rough on the roads but other than that it was fine. Mate took his Stagea and we had planned out every station that had 98 octane fuel.

plan your fuel stops via fuelwatch to make sure that they at least have 95.

from memory there is a BP on Coral Bay town with 98.
Expect to pay country prices
