Firstly there seems to be a fair bit of heat emanating from the wheels, most likely i think from the brakes, but I also notice it coming through the air vents when i don't have the air conditioning on.

Hey guys. Just picked up my MY06 Liberty 3.0R Spec.B a couple of days ago. This is my first car, and having stepped down from driving my parents merc around I'm noticing a few things.... I was wondering if anyone here could tell me if these were normal for a Subaru liberty of this year or if i need to get some things looked at.
Firstly there seems to be a fair bit of heat emanating from the wheels, most likely i think from the brakes, but I also notice it coming through the air vents when i don't have the air conditioning on. 
Secondly, when i put the car into reverse the revs seem really staggered, and it just sounds like the car doesn't like reverse.
Thirdly, When I'm sitting at the lights the idle sits at about 400 RPM, which seems a bit low to me.

Other than these small issues I'm loving the car so far, its done 94,000 kms and is an 2005 build but MY06. Any help with these issues would be much appreciated
