I just bought a new ET SE manual and I'm loving it. It's already getting over 30MPG and I know I made a great decision. The car had about 200 miles on it when I drove it off the lot and I'm sure it was all hard miles put on during test drives and I have a couple of questions:
1. Did those 200 miles hurt the car during the recommended break in period?
2. What can I do now to treat the car right during it first few months to break it in the right way?

Thanks!

 

Just drive normal. There is no formal break-in procedule other than not flooring it at every light or towing with it.

This is from an Accent owners manual but the procedure is teh same for any Hyundai:

 

Just drive it and do regular maintanance and go 341,000 mile (Thrusday for me).. I drive mine like I stole it sometimes... though my ride is not a Hyundai..

 

my sales rep told me not to push it until i hit 5k... my jaw dropped... didnt want to wait THAT long!

 

Page 1-4 in your new manual have break-in tips. I think I did eveything I shouldn't have done on my way home from the dealer.

 

Drive it like you want to. keep up the maintenance as scheduled and let Hyundai worry about repairs. You have a great warranty.

 

Drive it !
It's going to be good or it's going to be a lemon....
