My dealer told me not to bother breaking it in because it wasn't a high performance car and the factory does a little run in of the motor off the crate. |

I hope you told him he was talking sh*t and then gave him a slap!

Every engine shoudl be broken in. We used to break in our race bikes on a dyno but the theory is the same. Take it easy and vary the RMP. Gradually increase speed over time. I usually do 500 miles then change oil and drive normally. After about 1000-1500 miles I start to beat on it |

While the engine is broken in from factory and can be thrashed from day one, it is all the cars compnents working together, that need respect in the early days to bed in. 500 miles should be right, then open the revs up more, 1000rpm every additional 100miles.

Absolutely, it's everything from the engine, tyres, brakes, running gear, electrics, it's ALL getting broken in.
