My BRZ had about 9 miles on it when I test drove it. When I was done with the test drive it had about 20 miles on it. My salesman did tell me to floor it when going onto the freeway portion of the test drive.

He also told me to take a sweeping turn as hard as I wanted to, to show off the handling. Rear end broke traction but ESC was on, so no harm. He seemed pretty cool about it.

I bought the car, so his machinations worked!

I also think vehicles are robust enough to take an occasional run up to redline during their break-in period. Whenever I tell my service advisors how I treat my car during break-in, they always look at me like I'm from another planet (because they think I am babying them too much). LOL.
