I would recommend that if you get one do a full service fluid change on everything. Change the coolant, the trans fluid, diff fluid, oil (10w30 or 10w40, do NOT use the 5w20 reccomended). You'll also want to set aside $80-90 for new spark plugs, and upgrade the coil packs to LS coils from Bennet Built whenever you can. Coils need to be replaced about every 30k miles.
Pros: strong rotary, mechanically inclined
Cons: everything is breaking, plastics dry

If it still streaks you probably need new blades. Bosch are the best IMHO.

I got Sumitomo HTR A/S P03 tires put on my car last October. I live in Wisconsin and am frequently in NW Wisconsin/MN/SD. They were great for me last winter and are pretty quiet during the summer and solid in the rain. I’ve put over 25k miles on them in a year and still no complaints and limited wear. They were a middle-lower cost option when I bought them on Tire Rack and installed for free at Discount Tire. I’ll probably buy them again. I’ve heard they’re a little soft and wear fast though? That’s not been my experience yet but just what I’ve read.
Pros: great in winter, quiet, solid in rain, limited wear
Cons: rumored soft, fast wear

BRAND NEW Yokohama AdvanSport+ A/S tires (Yokohama’s equivalent to Michelin’s Pilot Sport 4 A/S) with less than 600 miles on the tires - no real maintenance (outside of oil changes & tire rotations) needed on this bad boy until at least reaching 105k miles!!
Pros: High performance, long lifespan

In my 2012 with the 2.5L engine, I replaced my spark plugs with Bosch Iridium (#96302), around 90K miles. It's been great since.
Pros: great performance
I recently switched to DTC-60 for my first full on race pad. Worked fine for my turbo car except my calipers got crazy hot.
Pros: worked fine
Cons: calipers got hot

I have a 2023 CX-5 Turbo, and was thrilled to replace those Toyos at 28k miles. Those Toyos suck on anything other than dry pavement.
Cons: poor wet performance
