[QUOTE="Izso, post: 4457958, member: 2429"] I don't know about new cars but what about engine rebuilds? You got a new piston ring and it's a bloody tight fit in the cylinder. If you don't rev the bones out of it once the ring sets in that'll be the max you can go with that engine. How do you explain a Altis 1.8 that runs minimally 120km per day because of daily travel feeling much more rev happy and light compared to the same car that just travels 50km a day from the shops back home and that's it? And if you look up google, there are a lot of threads talking about the proper running in procedure for virgin engines and most don't talk about driving slow. I could be wrong but having 2 myvis at home with one just being a pasar pagi runner vs one I take to work everyday, everyone says my daily workhorse is a better drive than the pasar runner. [/QUOTE]
