Congrats mine. The only downside I have to say is, it is going to kill you to keep it below the 4000 rpm for the next 1600km while you break it in.

I am suffering and I have only done 124km and trying sooo hard not to go over.

Trust me it is like Easter and waiting to get your easter eggs

On another note, once I hit 1600lm my average fuel usage went from 7.2l/100km to 8 for some reason.

US (of NA) names for colours are nicer than AUS :)

And the car doesn't come in the right shade of gray :D

i reset my average fuel consumption when ever i go for a drive, if its a spirited drive it around the 12l/100km mark and a slow freeway drive, get it down to 6.4l/100km. hit 2000km last night

Congrats Sutty!

6.4 is pretty awesome. I don't drive mine much, so when I do, I enjoy it :P

So is 1600kms the standard for break in period then? I was planning on just a 1k for break-in, but if 1.6k is better so be it.

Yeah, manual says 1600.

lokvo 08-24-2012 12:52 AM

Cheers...although now it will make the break-in period just that much more difficult :)

Quite possibly the worst night's sleep ever, but Saturday has dawned and
