Other than my dad getting rear-ended by a guy in a Toyota this year (it was pretty much totaled, the 850 got body work done with the insurance money) I think I'm the first of the three of us that needed the clutch replaced (mine has the most miles and I taught a few people to drive a stick). Other than preventative maintenence, a little wonkiness with the cruise control vacuum line, washer fluid T-valve and putting a can of R134a in every other year or so, they're all rock-solid. After I got mine, my dad was so impressed with the build quality and engineering, he talked my brother into one and got one himself.
It's also helped us to have another car to "borrow" known working parts off of to help troubleshoot problems, especially with the cruse control vacuum pump.
