check that it has had the ECU recall... there should be a silver sticker on the inside of the driver door recess also check the entine rev range on the the test drive, inparticular the change from 1-2 and 2-3 that it shifts smoothly. If not if requires a clutch adjustment. Check the door rubbers for splits. that's the basics of the main issues. there is still 6 months of the factory warranty, make sure you use it ;)
