I take speed bumps at like 1mph lol.

I will only ever drive manual, so I got the 6MT, I would've been depressed if this car only had an automatic.
I didn't exactly rag on it, but I pretty much brought it home and drove it like I plan to drive it: pretty hard.

I definitely put it under load a few times in the first couple drives to seat the piston rings.

Trust me, by the time you get to 1200-1400 miles, it will feel like more car than you bought. That's partly comfort level with the car, but the other piece is the motor opening up.
