A couple of good articles there Gel. They would go a long way to alleviate my concerns about buying an ex rental. My advice Bros would be to carry on enjoying your new car with the knowledge that it has been checked over and still has the remaining portion of warranty to give you peace of mind.

Yes, I think I will just bite the bullet and as you say enjoy the car.

One thing I am a little confused about is the final paragraph of the Honest John report about Rental cars being better 'run in' because of the different driving styles. I get some of that but what if those driving styles are way outside the parameters outlined in the owners manual? Does anyone have any input on this. I am still 'running in my 2 week old QQ and adhering to less than 3000 rpm in each gears (CVT) and generally going careful with the occasional blast on the motorway .
