Hi there,

Modern new cars don't really need breaking in as we did in the old days.... the only thing you can do for the first few 1000Kms or Miles, is just vary the road speed on any country trips, don't set the cruise and forget it, vary it a little up & done and you should not have any problems at all, and do get the first service done when due, this is the most important thing.
