On the 2.0L turbo'd engines in many VW/Audi's, you have a greater tendency to have oil burning issues when really babying the car during break in. No one could really say why, but the anecdotal evidence was pretty interesting. I didn't beat on my GTI when it was new, but I wasn't easy on it either. It never burned a drop of oil.

I plan on taking a similar approach to this car. Since I picked it up with 12 miles on the ODO, I'll be pretty careful for the first 100 or so and then start slowly stressing it more and more as I build up the miles.

4K RMP seems really low for this car. I routinely hit 4K without even trying...it's about the point when things really start to get fun!
