Well I have about 10900 miles on the F, and car is starting to feel a lot less stiff and more light and agile. The acceleration seems way better and throttle response is better that ever before. Does this mean the car is finally fully broken in? I don't know I'm a newb!

 

I actually think I am getting used to the power. My car is at 12300.

 

maybe youve been driving it harder and the ECU.....

 

I never heard it requires 10k miles to fully break in... isnt it usually done by 3-5k?

 

Mine was done in 100 miles. But that's just me.

 

I did the break-in during the test drive, after that my car was ready for any challenge...

 

be sure u are not alone

 

This thread makes absolutely no sense to me. 11k and you think the car is "just breaking in"? I'm with lobux, it broke mine in hhhhhard.

 

Let me have some of what you're smoking, dude

 

most break-in periods occur around 1000 miles, some longer, some shorter. the harder you push your vehicle early on, the more it can be weathered in terms of performance. but also if you push it too hard, it wont be considered that brand new appeal of a new car. i guess im still breaking mine in....its still new to me, even though ive had it for a good 16 months now

 

I envy you guys. I have over 30k+ miles in about 17~18 months. I'd say It's been driven fairly hard. Trying to keep it for the weekends now!

 

Personally, I "try" to go 2500 miles on performance vehicles, but most often around 500 miles i'm done on regular cars..

 

I break mine in how I'm going to drive it. The day I drove it off the lot I was racing a Mustang no more than 5 miles from the dealership. My experience has shown me this works the best for my cars.
