Reliability is hard to quantify when it comes to sports cars. Some people drive them like an old lady and some drive them like an old lady on crack. The main issues that have popped up are as follows:
-Oil Consumption (few reported claims on early models)
-CSC failure and/or master cylinder(prevalent and will fail eventually)
-6-speed Transmission Problems (grinding/bad syncros)
-Steering Lock issue (Covered under recall)
Forums like this tend to over-exaggerate issues especially when you see 50 threads on the same issue. I have an '09 with over 42k and the only issue I've had from above is the transmission grinding into 5th gear. I'd say it's about 9/10 in terms of reliability, but then again, that's from my personal experience. Some have had better, some worst. It all comes down to how the car was treated, proper maintenance and a little bit of luck.
