Post Anything to Look out for on a New IS250?

I bought a new 2013 IS 250 in December, and I was wondering if there's anything I should be keeping an eye on like maintain or things that may go bad fast. It has 4200k on it and its been a great car so far (besides getting 20 mpg). Thoughts??

For me it was a surprise how quickly the tires and brakes go, but that shouldn't be a problem for you anytime soon. My 08 had some bad carbon issues though and was in the shop 3 times before it hit 50k.

I bought my better half a 2012 IS-250-awd three weeks ago based on what I thought were no issues with the car. My co worker has a 2007 IS with over 100k and never had a problem. I wonder if the Shell 93 that he uses and I use has helped to lessen the carbon build up?
My Wife loves her matador red IS. I hope it will be problem free.
