Reckon any of the difference you felt could be due more to the different transmission than the engine?  If you haven't heard, the innovation days are around the corner at your nearest dealership.  More opportunities to test drive other models but you gotta wangle an invite.The manual says be gentle, but the SA I chatted with basically said to go for it on day 1, arguing precision tolerances these days on the engine don't need much wear-in, as well as getting the OBC tuned up to driving style early.  In any case, it's hard to be able to do an apple to apple comparison, running hard vs gentle starts, unless we get a chance (and remember) to look at our pistons/seals when we overhaul many moons down the road!   Would appreciate sharing of experiences, if any, thanks!</blockquote>
