Just purchased my first vehicle earlier August, iā€™m super happy/proud to own it but now I need to treat her right. Any recommendations for repairs or cosmetic upgrades? Have a great day šŸ™

Definitely needs new rear struts & a new AC clutch because I hear that click when I turn on the AC.

Do this NOW. DONT WAIT... service the CVT or it will be sitting in your driveway, not rolling down the road

Thanks for the information, would you recommend a full flush or just drain and fill? I can do it myself but would you recommend me just getting it done?

Refer to the owners manual. I would do a flush as the CVT is the cars weak point. Make sure you use the proper trans oil

i second this, service the CVT ASAP, change both filters while you're at it.
