Another view: If you bring YOUR car in for service and the Tech hammers it down the street (while checking out the rattles of course) would you be ok with that? I would think not.
That aside, even if you floored it a few times on tests, are new engines that fragile that it cannot handle that? What are the proven ramifications on that?
I don't know, I guess I'm not the kind of person to abuse things.

i don't buy into the theory that a car that's test driven for 50-100 miles or whatever is gonna be that drastically different to a car that has 7 miles on it. so what, some people stepped a little hard on the gas peddle? really, what's that doing to the car? the computer recalibrates based on your consistent driving anyways correct? i'm not concerned, i just hope when my dealer picks up my car, they don't get any chips in it on the highway

Mine had about 40km when I took delivery... about 20 of those were mine. 11 were from the PDI. I have a feeling it was probably taken out for a short test between my drive and delivery.

mmmmmm....
4 sounds right to me..because once the dealers gets the car. They have to test drive it to make sure nothing wrong with car. I think anything over 10 is alot.
