Keep an eye on the throwout bearing wear in your clutch assembly, those tend to go out with rough driving.
Changing the gearbox and diff fluid when necessary is recommended.
My car likes early oil changes, yours might too. Mine's usually turning dark brown by 4000 miles.
Keep an eye on tire pressure. These low profile tires can sometimes squeeze a little air out every time you go over a bump. Less tire pressure equals the car wobbling through corners.
The gps radio head unit uses an SD card to reprogram it. Don't lose this card because the radio won't operate without it after a battery reset.
There have been some issues of blocked oil passages on some builds from whatever sealant subaru used at the factory. It's not widespread but there are some people who have had broken engines due to it. I wouldn't worry about it though, but if something does happen to your engine for no apparent reason, this could be a culprit.
