'04 Impreza TS Sport Wagon - Suggestions for Break-in Please

[Kevin T]

Should be picking up my first-ever new-off-the-lot car tonight (unless
something in my credit history rears its ugly head). I recall reading
suggestions for Saturns while I had my used '95 SL2 in the newsgroup there.
Was wondering what suggestions you folks might have for me, too.

TIA,
-Kevin

It's all in the owner's manual which of course you should read (I believe
it's under Driving Tips). If I recall correctly you are to keep the revs
under 4000rpm and it's not recommended you use the cruise control for the
first 1000 miles. You should try to avoid keeping the engine at a constant
RPM for extended periods until after this breakin period.
