Congratulations!
How many miles? Do you have the service records?
The necessities are the timing belt change every 60k miles, all fluid changes on schedule (at a minimum--I'd cut the interval in half), all filter changes on schedule, and plug changes on schedule. Folks here are strongly suggesting a tensioner replacement along with the timing belt, which seems prudent. Also, check your brake pads and rotor thickness.
Preventive maintenance is everything with these cars. Take care of it and it will last a long, long time.
There are a lot of programming options available, some that you can do and some that a shop has to do. Study the archives to see whether there are any that you want done.
