I have one, a six speed.
It hasn't been unreliable per se, but when it does need maintenance it is insanely time consuming and complex.
Multiple different types of fasteners, difficult to reach or even see what should be simple maintenance items like the clutch slave cylinder. Oil changes are bizarrely time intensive because of the skid plate. The serpentine belt requires bumper and rad removal.
I've replaced both front air bags without *too* much effort. Used aftermarket parts. Turbos have been good but I've developed a wicked oil leak which I am not looking forward to figuring out.
No transmission issues because of the six speed, but the throw it bearing did fail prematurely.
I ***** about maintenance all of the time, but it's a nice car to drive.
