have the thing for around 2 years now, but really there are some days i get out of the car really tired. even on short drives i feel like im struggeling with the coupe's stiffness. its strange coz in basic , the big tyres and overall body and chasis movement are GT like rather then hot-hatch.

god im getting old...

The Coupe is a little stiffer than other cars from standard. But not really that much IMO. That said, when the shocks absorbers are at the end of their life, the ride can get quite bumpy, bouncey and crashy.

Perhaps you could have a look at this? Possibly worn shocks which have deteriated over time.

What! COupe is pretty comfy I find, about 1000x more comfy than an Evo or something like that, even my dads WRX doesnt seem quite as comfy. I've done a few long trips in coupes and never found it a problem. Even 4 up + luggage everyhwhere from the Lakes to Essex.

It could actually be your eyesight causing the tirdness, if your long distance vision has deteriated over the years and your eyes are straining with out you noticing it can have this effect.

Just my tupence.
