I have searched about this and found a couple of threads indicating from 8 - 10k, is this about right? my new 03 has done 3k now and still feels way slower than my bog standard uk MY99, I know it's smoother and quieter etc, but power feels 'soft' for want of a btter word after 2nd gear, hoping that some more miles will sort this out and will at least go aswell as the 99 car.

I found (purely subjectively) that my 02 STi felt like it was getting quicker and more responsive rigt up to about 15k miles. I don't think that 3k is any where near properly run in and loosened up. I've got 23k on the clock now and it feels quicker than ever.
