Breaking in a Yaris?

[driver centric]

I think the manual recommends taking it easy for the first 1000 miles. With no tach, I upshift at the recommended speeds in the manual (15, 25, 40, 45 mph). Thank goodness I only have about 50 miles of break-in left! :D

wow thanks for the replies guys. i guess i should have read the manual :P

but thanks to my commute i already have over 500 miles on my car so the point will be moot in a week. i have trouble in this car guessing at my revs because it's so quiet. i had my old Probe pretty dialed in by sound, but i guess i'll get used to the yaris. i think a nice intake/exhaust setup should make it a little easier and more entertaining.

yep, the dealer (and the manual) told me 1000 miles. and i am also 50 miles away from burning it up! but, uh...not literally.
