Up until a couple of weeks ago the missus worked for a manufacturer (not a dealer) and had 2 cars. She had one and her parents had one. They got swapped over every 12 weeks and i would have happily recommended any of them to friends / family to buy.

After witnessing it first hand, if they don't baby the engines, why should you?

The black art of running cars in. I limiter launched my brand new my00 at the set of lights outside total subaru when i got it and it never let me down. Some people say baby it others say load it up and drive up greenmount hill in a high gear to put some load on it. I dont think modern engines are really an issue with running in any more. Personally i would not run it in keeping constant revs for aperiod of time i.e. The freeway. Other than that just give it a gutfull!
