Nice, I'm in the same boat, just got my IX on Tuesday it had 13 miles though when I stepped in it, about half from the salesmen going to fill up the tank while the financing paperwork was being filled out. It's a huge step up from my boosted RS eclise. What color did you go with? I got the tarmac black.

Stay below 5k, but boost hard up to 5k. This is good for the piston rings to seal properly, and it won't hurt the motor as long as you let the engine warm up fully before hammering it.
OMG this is sooo hard. I took it over 5k once not much though stayed under 6k. and only because the gears go by so fast. I've gotta put another 250-300 miles on it before I really get on it. Hopefully I'll finish that up this weekend.
