As far as the cold weather issues go....as long as you take the time to read some of the well documented items, put in the time with repairs and preventative maintenance and of course adjust your driving accordingly you shouldn't have any worries. It's when people here are unfamiliar with their vehicle, or neglect some of the major repairs that you subsequently see the nightmare threads.

As someone whose had their X going on 8 years now I can say this: Put in the time to look after it, and it'll look after you.
