For the first 3 years with the car I did 60KM (each way) three times a week and 200KM (each way) the other two. Now I just do the 60 every day and the 200 a couple of times month. Could not have been happier in any other car. This thing rocks for a highway commute.

16 km to work, 11 km back (thanks city traffic)

840 kilometers a week, you must've passed ~120,000 a long whiles back.

I am planning on doing similar with the 86/BRZ (in market for one....purchase coming soon) - figured I might as well enjoy the time!

I disagree with this. I commute 30 miles (50km) each way on an interstate (valid in both meanings this time lol), sometimes in the FRS. The things that make it a great driver's car give it a comparative disadvantage in many aspects on the highway (IMO).

Nah I don't see it. I can scoot around and out of the way of all the trucks. It is comfortable and easy to drive. What more could anybody want?

This. This car is fantastic on the highway in the same ways it is off it. This car has ruined just about any car over ~3100lbs for me.
