300,000 miles, that translates to aprox 480,000 kms,  I do not beleive that
that is a reasonable mileage to expect from any vehicle engine with out
major repairs required.
This would be almost unheard of in New Zealand.
Maybe if you guys in the US are getting these sort of mileages from your WBX
it is due to the long distances you travel, ie not much city/stop start
driving?
Regards
John.
