How are you guys breaking in your car? Is it just don’t rev over 5-6k rpm for 1k miles or is it 3-4k rpm then slowly move up from there?

They would have to tell you that your warranty was at issue.

In my opinion they recommend the break in for the driver to get used to the power and traction of the car. Legal had a hand in drafting it I’m sure. Everyone has their own appetite for break in but these engines should be ready to go on day one, just make sure they are up to operating temp, if they weren’t it would be a mandatory break in with warranty implications. Just my 2 cents.

i was following this most of the time however I could not resist and tried 9k rpm couple of times.
did my first check at the dealer after 1500 km, no issue.

Ahh yes here we go again... My comment was more about taking a salesman's word on decisions that only PAG can make.

In general, your advice is good to take a salesman's comments with a grain of salt though.
