Running in my new i10?
In a couple of weeks time I will take delivery of a new Hyundai i10 Style, regarding the 'running in' phase does this still apply to modern engines?
And even though the i10 isn't exactly a sports car, would you suggest I use Super Unleaded fuels?

Yes. Use Shell V-Power Nitro+. Cars with low power engines benefit just as much as cars with powerful engines. Means more power at lower revs and hence better fuel economy.
