With the 2011 there aren't too many issues, unless you happen to get a shaker (search steering wheel shake and you will find a wealth of info, but don't be too worried about it, there are plenty that are fine like mine). If it has a sunroof, make sure the recall for the sunroof has been performed. Also check that the AC condenser drain is clear, otherwise it'll backup and drip on passenger floor.
I haven't had too many issues, just the two recalls, a defective outside temperature sensor, and the condensate drain that keeps plugging up.
And you are probably right, the stock contis are probably shot at 40k if you drive in wet or snowy conditions.
Some things that I have found over my ownership:
-The car makes a clunk/thud in the front passenger area within the first couple hundred feet of driving, thats the ABS self test and it is normal.
-the 19mm rear anti sway bar is a good, cheap upgrade, it tightens up handling.
-It is easy to maintain yourself and parts are readily available online for a discount. People on the forums here have written many useful DIY guides for OEM/aftermarket option installs, maintenance, and mods.
This forum truly has a wealth of information and people that are willing to help with pretty much any issue you might have. Have fun!
