How many miles until Broken-In?

Hey guys, hmmm... I just got a 2006 2.5i and this is my first brand new car and don't really know. I'm just curious how many miles or how can you tell when a car is broken-in? Never knew and I thought I'd ask.

Congrats on your new car.
Yes go easy on the throttle for the first 1K miles and you should be fine.
