Turbo and Direct Injection

My new WRX (which i absolutely love) has direct injection.

Apart from the well documented BMW and Audi (go figure ) direct injection issues with carboned up intake valves, what other cars do you have experience with that have had to have the intake valves cleaned regularly / periodically?

Most of my driving is at highway speed with the engine at 2700 RPM.

Will highway driving accelerate or alleviate this issue?

There are a few aftermarket 'fixes' available such as oil catch cans, water / meth injection, EGR delete but I don't want to interfere with my warranty to fix a problem that I may not encounter.
