Quick question about break-in period

6263 Views 18 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  Jeramiah
I went to look at a Fiesta ST today. 2015 Black, base. No recarros (not sure if I like that)...


The car has 197 miles, I got to wondering... the dealership/the test drivers have probably been getting onto it a little during test drives...


Is this something to even worry about? If I buy this car and continue w/ the recommended break in procedures... it should be good to go right?

I wouldn't be too worried about this as modern engines today are run in the engine plant. For the amount of time its probably driven hard shouldn't make much of a difference.

As for buying a FiST with non Recaro seats I would personally advise against this because a FiST with Recaro seat will have better resale and be more popular. It's sort of like people that buy sports cars with automatic transmissions, they seem to have a harder time selling the car.
Great info guys, thank you!

I went to a different dealership, tried out a molten orange recarro car. I could tolerate the seats but I definitely was not in love with them. My GF didn't like them very much. I had a hard time finding a comfy seat position.

I think I will be perfectly happy with stock seats, this is gonna be my fun daily driver/road trip car.

I loved that molten orange, but I'm going back to the dealership in town tomorrow to talk $$ for the black non-recarro car.
I too was uncertain about the Recaro seats but after a while they do break in a bit and feel more comfortable. In Canada its Recaro seats or no FiST.
