If its new you wouldn't have to look out for much as it will be on new car warranty. So if anything fails, warranty covers it. This is until "he" mods it. Breathing mods, suspension/handling, cosmetic is as far as I would go. If you start playing with wanting to put on a turbo etc etc.. you might as well buy a WRX/STi. If you have to buy an 'R' range go the RS
