Lets be realistic here, this is a fantastic looking/ well balanced car, but once the new feeling wears off, we might be getting some problems eventually.

What do you think is going to be the first big concern? Take Toyota/Subaru craftsmanship into consideration. Rattling body panels/squeaky ride? Excessive tire wear? Brakes are like a sunfire's, and wear notoriously fast? Paint is mazda-quality (garbage)? Engine problems because of the DI?

Where do you think we will see the first cracks in this car's image, knowing what generally happens to each manufacturer's cars over the last decade?

I'm going to go with something being a problem with the engine, or this car getting much worse real-life fuel efficiency than we thought.
