I've had a few weeks and have put about 2500 miles on it, all seems well, should I look out for any surprises?

    At 105K miles, you'll need a new timing belt with tensioner and if neglected, you'll have a very big surprize.

    Does it have 4 good tires, all the same type and size? It's essential to ALWAYS have 4 identical tires on that car or AWD damage will result, EVEN IF you ever have a tire blow-out and use the included space-saver spare. Do read the owners manual on that BUT I've met AWD customers who've used that space saver spare for only a few miles and by doing that, ruined a very costly bevel gear (about $1600 now, part only).
