You have posted this before. The car is still relatively young, so answers shouldn't have changed much. From the fact that you are asking yet again, I'll guess that you didn't go either previous time, otherwise you'd already know well enough from personal experience.

it's just broken in! make sure your maintenance is up to date and you're good to go. no worries!

 

Any (old/new) car can make the trip, BUT no matter what, you should be checking tire threads/tire pressure, fluids (oil, coolent, transmission, etc) hopefully periodically and most importantly before any long trip.

You don't need to be a mechanic or do your own maintenance to check tires or fluid levels to know the probability that your car might leave you stranded or blow a tire

ALSO, don't think that if you keep up to date maintenance your car won't breakdown, do a quick check of all important fluids and tires before taking off on a long trip
