How reliable would car like this one be for a DD? I come from 600whp Subaru that I had to rebuild every 10k miles haha. I am looking a new car.

I have been driving this car around, clutch is starting to grab more but still can not take full power. I did run into a fan of Porsche's so I gave him a little show.. Two step in a gas station of all places... smh.
