I live about 2 hours from the nearest service center so i would like to get all the updates before i pick it up. Or if there are any other problems common in general that i should bring up to my dealer.

thanks for your help

As long as your CVT is a recent build you will not have any problems. I have a May 03 CVT and it is fantastic! I think you will find most of the problems were with early build cars.

My only advice would be check the paint quality very carefully before you accept the car.
