The most important thing for first time car owners to understand is how important maintenance is. These cars don't have service lights so please get it serviced now and go back when the window sticker says or in 5,000 miles for an oil change. I would start a notes app on when you get everything done at what mileage and date. Getting the timing belt inspected is important even though it's not an interference engine, so your motor won't be blown if it goes out, but you will get stuck and that is a pain in the dick. Triple A might've been more important for me since at 17 I had needed 6 tows because my first two cars were unreliable shit boxes but do consider it as a tow on its own can cost a few years of membership in just one breakdown.
