Anything else?
Long term ownership will require more DIY maintenance. Compression check, spark plugs, fuel injectors, fuel rails. Have you ever had a mis-shift in an I4 car? the head has to come off and new valves dropped in ect... Simple on something like a Honda but on this... But for the general person who won't be doing most stuff for themselves or just the basics, then yes it's not that bad. I'm speaking from my experience with racing, track days and fixing the things you broke on your own or as close to it as you can.
