I've never followed the break-in procedure of any car I've bought, and never encountered an issue with any either. :shrug:

The only new car I had was a Dodge Neon srt-4. I went WOT right out of the dealership the moment paperwork was completed. By that weekend I had an adjustable wastegate to increase the boost and catless downpipe. Later on I went big turbo and roll raced it countless times. And up until 47k miles when I sold it there wasn't a single problem with the engine.

At that time Dodge/Chrysler actually recommended running high throttle position as soon as possible in higher gears to promote good ring seating for the first 200 miles or something like that. To me that is a proper break-in procedure. |

I had an SRT-4 as well, I actually had the NEON first and then switched to the Caliber.
Had a Caliber once as a rental car. The only thing I remember about that cars was the dashboard was high enough to be used as a South Texas border wall. |
I've broken in all my Subaru's like I do with any motor. Varied load, some boost, and engine braking. Never had an issue with ringlands or oil consumption. I also tune a lot of Subaru's and I give the same advice..
