Took the wife to Montabaur to go shopping on Saturday and got her (The Car) up to 252 Kph. It took a while but I wanted to see what she could do and the Autobahn was pretty open on the 45. I don't drive this car as hard as I should but she has her moments. Natalie wasn't too happy though.Way to go Jay!! It's hard to resist isn't it?
If the demo one I drove is anything to go by I wouldn’t buy one. The dealer thrashed it before I got behind the wheel, and it would have been rude for me not to do the same. At least he let it warm up before sprinting to 140km in a 50km zoneI know the manual says to keep car under 3000rpm for first 1000km.
Anyone know how critical this is to performance and long term on car.
I’m in the market for one of theses cars and starting to see a few demo and low km ones come up at dealers.
But I wonder how many have really had proper run in. Or if they been thrashed from new. Do I believe what the dealer says?
Haven't got the car yet but thank youHandbook tells you to not go beyond 3k rpm for the first 1000km / 600 miles. If you did not find that phrase, you did not do any proper research
Just read this. There is all the info you would ever need and more.Haven't got the car yet but thank you
I got mine to a dual carriageway as soon as I could. There I did burst with WOT from 1500 rpm to 4500 rpm. That for 100km. Your pistonrings only have a small time window to get seated properly, after the first 100km there isn't a lot you can do anymore. The WOT burst force them to the outside.
Result: 274.9 hp and 398 Nm on 95 ron.
Right, forgot to mention that.Yep, and release the throttle and engine break back down to 2000rpm and repeat.
I collected mine today and have been going from 1500 to 4-4.5k and letting the engine brake to bed it in. 100 miles in so farYep, and release the throttle and engine break back down to 2000rpm and repeat.
