What a killjoy.

There's no such thing as a "don't push it too hard" break-in period. Some dealers recommend not maintaining constant speeds for long periods of time.

wow, you guys are sweet.

I drove my last car to 110,000 miles with no tranny problems. It had other problems, but then again, it was a Ford.

Honestly I don't think Phatom cares what any of us has to say about this. And I don't think this is the appropriate place to discuss it. If you want, open up a new thread about the urban legend of break-in periods or do a search and find out how much it has been discussed already.

I'd personally like to apologize to Phatom for indulging katz as much as I have. I really did not want to adulterate a thread as exciting as one about a new MSP. I love the new MSP. I'm sure Phatom will too.

Alright time to resolve this, both of you are right.

itzcatz, your right cuz you shouldn't beat the car to death, and should give it a proper break in before goin all out with it. However, nate0123 is also correct, as you should vary your speeds when breaking in your car; you should try not to keep the same speed. Vary as much as you can, for example, on the highway, drop down to 90km, then go up to 110 km, or something like that. So you are both right, just be happy that he got his MSP and dont flame each other about this no more!

I got that from Northhill btw....

just checked that out on Friday night, haven't got chance to take a test drive yet. but the car is a beauty, I LOVE IT!!!

the only thing is the car has 37 miles on it, I am soooo pissed !!!


hey, pr5owner, I know that you worked in Kramer right? they told me that they have to drive to Kramer to do an alignment do a inspection test drive. They must have drove the hell out of it, I just want to make sure they are not beaten my car up.... which I think that would....


how much km would the inspection usually put on??

thanks bunch.
