Now that you mention it, I haven't encountered anything bigger than a 17mm on the car, 19mm being the lug nuts.

As for unique pieces, the only things I know of are:

1. E10 external torx bolt for the seat rails
2. 10mm hex key (or socket thingy from that Craftsman set I linked before) for the transmission and differential drain/fill plugs
