I'm pretty happy with stock power levels and fuel economy, and I want to keep this car a long time, so I'm content to keep a stock powertrain at least until all major issues are resolved by warranty/TSB/recall and mods are proven to be durable to 100k+ miles.

That being said, most of the work I've done or plan on doing has been to detail and protect the exterior, and improve the interior comfort and amenities. 3M clear bra, opti-coat, GT86 euro armrest, radar detector and dashcam hardwire are all done, tactile audio controls and backup camera are in work, JDM or USDM MY14 kneepads, black AUDM interior pieces, and a functional rear fog light are going to be my next mods

Little something for you to think about is that the dealer is making out quite well on this deal. The two most profitable parts of a dealership is the finance department and the service department. Them hooking you with this warranty is making them A LOT of money. Just food for thought. The DI issue should be fixed well before you hit 60k miles
