Break In Period
The Owner's Manual says to always keep the car in "C" mode during the first 1,000 miles. My salesperson recommended babying the car in "S" mode. Usually there is a reason for the Maufacturer's directions. It certainly is harder to vary revs in C vs. S. Any thoughts?

My 04 had the sticker that informed me to keep my RPM's down for the first 1000 miles but said nothing about C or S mode. I drove my car in S mode the whole break in period.
