Biggest bang for your buck would be tires, brake pads, and alignment.

I, too, noticed issues with the 6MT on my '18 LX hatch--when new. After owning it for about 9k mlies now, most of them have either disappeared or reduced.
Issues were: when up-shifting from 5th to 6th or 3rd to 4th it dropped into 4th or 2nd a few times, non-smooth, "bucking" starts from a stop (I think this was mostly the clutch pad breaking in), and trouble going into reverse. When they were happening I never imagined it would go away, break in, whatever, but it seem to have. Reverse still is a little hard to push into gear sometimes, but I'm still optimistic it'll get even easier w/time.
And the shifter gets smoother through the gates, seems like it will also get looser. Thus I'm putting the idea of an Acuity bushing kit on the back-burner for another year or more.
