When it comes to carbon buildup, I'm really not too concerned either. I assume this car will be a huge hit among the tuners, so within 3-5 years there will be so many options for the car that switching out the engine or dismantling it shouldn't be that much of an issue for us down the road. Direct injection is relatively new in gasoline engines, and working out the long term issues is going to be something that comes with time.

However, with the amount of modding that will happen to this car, I don't think this is going to be too much of an issue. The engine die have large carbon deposits after 100k miles? use higher octane gas. Not an option? thrown in a turbo engine from Subaru. done.
