Hey all. Just completed my trip from Chicago to Florida. My car is dirty and the front is littered with bugs. Need to get it washed but I literally just got off the road. Here are the stats of my journey

Car: BRZ MT Limited DGM
From: Chicago
To: Miami
Miles: 1450
Hours: 24

MPG: 35.9
Note about the mpg. This trip was during my break in period so I was babying it a bit. Averaged about 74 mph for the trip. HOWEVER, my trunk and back seat was also packed with luggage. If the car was empty I believe the mpg would be higher

Overall the car felt great.

Issues with car after long trip:
My back actually hurts from these seats. There like is nearly zero amount of lumbar support. I kept feeling like my back was sore through the trip

Also the sound quality of the stereo is a bit off. I really need to sit down one day and play with the eq settings. Its hard to do while driving

Overall though, it was awesome.
