There are just a few things to fix/upgrade, and it's an amazing car for the price. Maintenance/wear costs are higher than your average DD vehicle of course, but the is totally worth it

Clutch hydraulic system - CMC and CSC; fresh fluid regularly helps extend the life
ESCL (steering lock on 2011 and earlier models) - easy fix with lots of info on the forum about it
Throttle response - tune is the best way to handle this
Clutch pedal - RJM Performance adjustable clutch pedal is a great mod and also claims to help extend the life of the CSC by reducing its throw
Exhaust - the OEM note is pretty weak; tons of options on the market to tailor it to your taste, Fast Intentions being one of the most popular
