The moving parts bed in, the driver gets better used to the vehicle, and the tyres lose their new-ness (improves RR).
It's happened on all cars I've ever had from new, which is 4 out of 5
(Make that 5 out of 6 with the company car included.)
It hasn't happened when I used my parents' cars - which were already run in.
(And didn't happen on the company
pool car I got before getting my own company car.)
