Other things needing immediate attention (in addition to the obvious power bump):
-better HU/nav, no-rattle speakers
-revised acoustic tuning for engine/exhaust to eliminate the bolts-in-a-blender engine note
-better clutch: less abrupt take-up, lower engagement point
-standard armrest/console tray cover (just make sure elbow does not bang into it when shifting like it does with the Fiesta ST)
-standard or optional HID/LED package
-rev-matching manual please! (unlikely, I know)
-replace analog speedo with customizable LCD (oil temp, pressure, etc).

Interesting. You don't own the vehicle and therefore your knowledge is mostly what you have read online. I have had NONE of these issues except crickets (which is not malfunction). And I received my car April 2012.
