    First, are you saying you made a bad decision on the purchase or on the acceleration? It can be interpreted either way.

    As for the rough acceleration it really depends. I know for 2 of our vehicles you are supposed to baby them for the first 1500km or so. On the other hand, our 2000 intrepid's manual clearly states that bried periods of hard acceleration are beneficial to the break-in process of the engine. Your salesman should've explained the break-in process to you when you purchased the vehicle. Because it depends, I would recommend calling the dealer, calling your salesman, or just checking the owner's manual in that neat little glovebox. Look in the index under Engine>Break-in and see what it says. It should say 'Avoid hard braking', 'Do not change oil until xxkm', 'Initial burning smell is normal' and things like that. Again, if you are unclear just call the dealer. Chances are a small bit of acceleration won't hurt it much.

    Hope this helps,
    Good luck
