Nothing wrong here. RPMS are under 4K

 

LOL funny

 

loook at at that 24mpg gas mileage.... too bad igor can't say that

 

Yes Kenny you were right. Overall the XS was the way to go for me. Thanks for your advice. It drives sporty enough and the extra tenghs here are easily offset by a car thats softer and easier to live with. The only thing I feel a little weird about is the grip from those Dunlops. I gotta find an empty parking lot and lean on them a little and see what happens. I get this weird feeling that if i take a turn too hard the rears will just let go.

MPG on the highway I have seen as high as 27-28 for like 10 miles of cruising. Around town stop and go one can forget MPG... Also as this is my second G I find that it is impossible to drive this car in a manner that will get you decent MPG. The car just wants to be driven!

 

I am not gonna lie, we have 1400km on the odo and definitely taken the RPM's to redline on a few occasions. Can you blame me?!

The instructions recommend staying under 4k rpm, but I have read on lots of other sources, and our salesman, have said that it really isn't necessary. In fact, my salesman suggested that we push it on occasion and not baby it. What's everyone's take on this?

 

I have to admit that I pushed it on occasion while in my break-in. It is almost impossible not to with these cars. I would imagine that as long as you do not keep it up there for a while, it is not going to hurt anything. Isn't keeping it at a steady RPM supposed to be the thing to really avoid?
