...so far:

Should have hit the door and hatch weatherstripping with some silicone lubricant.

CD changer may not change CDs until the cabin warms up.

Winter tires are noisier than stock tires.

Make sure the wiper blades (front & rear) are free of ice before hitting the wiper switch.

The heated mirrors work great!
