And I always thought for a new car, you have to stay under 70mph to break in the engine. Please correct if I'm wrong. Thanks for all your advise.

per the manual...500 miles is the breakin point...no speeds over 70MPH...no constant speed for highway...after that....go for it...1800 miles on ours....and usually shifting around 3.5-4.0 on the tach....you will find the car responds nicely at the higher RPMs....
