Welcome to the family!
You won't regret it if you get one, they're such a blast!
In terms of reliability, it's completely dependent on how they've been treated in the past, if they're serviced regularly and with good quality parts then usually reliability isn't a problem, so if you go and find any just make sure the history isn't sketchy
Like with any car there are the usual parts which are prone to failure, lower ball joints and exhaust manifold to name a few, so these are the things to check for when buying (full list of things to watch out for are in the
buyers guide)
Good luck with the search if you decide to go for one!
