I've taken 50 or 60 new cars and driven them for roughly 12,000 miles of
mostly highway driving with no problems. The nature of our business was
most of the people in our office also had to drive mostly highway miles.
Figure 30 people get 4 new cars a year for 120 new cars a year, x my 15
years experience for 18,000 cars with no ill effects of driving mostly
highway miles from the time they are put into service. Many of those cars
were bought by employees, relatives, and friends afterwards and they did
not
experience any problems related to how the vehicles were broken in.
Enjoy your trip in your new ride!
