Congratulations! Despite the color debate, you are getting an incredible car for an incredible deal. As for issues:
-Plugs - not sure about this one?
-Alarm activation - check the manual, but on my 2013 it was defaulted to off, so be sure to activate it to sound if you prefer that.
-Some early cars had window issues where they wouldn't close or open all the way on the first try; I think more of an issue in cooler temps. I've not had this issue here in NC.
-Some early cars had the tail light condensation issue crop up. Not sure if that was cold weather related or not as well, but I have luckily not had the issue. There is a service bulletins on it and dealerships will replace if that happens.
My advice: I strongly suggest getting clear bra for at least the front end of the car. These cars don't have great paint, and they are very low to the ground and take a beating from debris. The front of my car looks like I sprayed it with gravel. In hind sight, I really wish I had done this within the first week of ownership.
My two cents: drive it stock for 4-6 months. Then upgrade at least tires to more grip (consider lighter wheels as well); do a drop-in filter; consider openflashtablet or some other tune solution. For me, the drop-in plus openflash transform the car and give greatest bang for buck.
