So mine was broken in when they drove it down from NC. Got a GTS fully loaded with CVT. The Rockford Fosgate system is amazing. The engine like someone mentioned is probably the weak point, easily fixed with TC in the future. Other than that, this car is well worth the 21k. Loving the black, although i don't have a garage and the drought here in GA is a pain.
Love it, waiting on mods and parts, if anyone has any sites post em up!

I started to go fasterwhen my ES reached 500 but the manufacturer said 300 miles. if you wanna make sure do it 1000 miles

Some tuners my ask you to Drive your car Hard in every gear. If you see those tuners after Putting a lot of new parts on it. they drag race and nothing happen to their cars except if they reach redline and blew some cylinder.

Remember when the dealer drives your carfrom another lot they will drive it hard and fast. Just like what I see in the highways at my areawith hundreds of dealers

Butif youa hard driver I recommend to changing your oil at 3,750 miles and change it again when you reach 7,500 with synthetic oil mobil 5w-20
