All the usual stuff is needed to fix the car unless you are doing some specific job
1.Mandatory -a set of six point sockets with 1/2 " dr ( Craftsman)
2.At set of screw drivers ( Torx screw are used most of places)
3.Open ended and ring spanners .
4.I use hammer also

This Car is meant for DIY. Do not get intimidated by your lack of experience e.g. air filter.Be careful around plastic parts and stubborn nut and bolts.Use impact rather than force.I myself started when I bought this car 20 months ago and have been able to bleed brakes ,change caliper ,change struts etc etc. in apartments parking lot.
You can borrow some tools e.g.spring compressor etc from advance auto .Use jack stands ask me why.Be careful while working.
Best of luck
