All you need to do is follow the recommended maintenance procedures in the owners manual or Factory Service Manual (see FAQ). With regular maintenance the car will be very reliable.

If you just bought the car, then you will need to do a full inspection and replace any wear items (belts, hoses, bearings, brake pads, etc.) as well as check for common problems (many of these are in the FAQ and the how-to-buy guides).

any flooding problems? That could be a sign of low compression or dirty injectors.
