My dealer said just not to drive it hard for the first 600 miles, don't floor it and don't go past 95 mph. Some dealers will say something different. I know my dealer wasn't telling me that based off factory recommendations. I attached a copy of the manual's description and recommendation for breaking-in.

I think it's fine if you stop your rev limit at 4500 rpm for 2000 km (1200 miles). I did that for myself because it was recommended by factory and I have the same exact car as you. I have yet to have any issues. Some people also drive the car hard straight off the lot. That's what happened with my Audi, then it started consuming oil (I had to refill 1-2 qts between service intervals). But you can go 6000 km if you would like to know it's truly and fully broken in properly, but I don't think you'll see much of a difference.
