Thanks for everyones input. I have worked at new vehicle dealerships for 20years and have had many many new vehicles for company cars. My routine for driving a new car is pretty standard. I don't use cruise control till after 2000 miles, wait for engine to get to normal temp, I wait for idle to settle down on engine start up before taking off. I check oil and fluids regularly and don't push things until things are broken in. About the only thing the manual says for this car that is a little hard to stick to is not exceeding 4200 rpm......it gets there pretty quickly in 1st and 2nd so I have to watch it...other than that, I am not at all concerned with my driving habits or the break-in of this car. It is my first car of this kind and I am going to take care of it.
Dave
