Ditto on the heater core. Run the heat (you may have to set the temp to HI). Even the slightest sweet smell of radiator fluid means the core is leaking - $500 min. Look at the coolant to make sure there's no oil floating (head gasket). Any stumbling on heavy acceleration could be a bad DI cassette ($400) or BPC valve ($200) or both. And of course check that all electronics work - lights, mirrors, windows, door locks, etc.
