Going to start using mine in November. What are some go-to things I should check on or maintain to ensure reliability? Thanks.

Due to a slight disagreement between the suspension and myself, mine has been parked more than driven lately, but I wouldn't hesitate to put it back into DD duty. It's seen more road trips than I can count. These cars are dead reliable. Apart from wear items that any car has (spark plugs, wires, struts, brakes, etc.) they don't need much maintenance. It seems like they've hit the right age lately where a lot of people are having distributor issues so you may want to look into replacing that as well as the timing belt and all related bits. The 7A is known to burn a little oil and the 5S is known to leak it out through the valve cover gasket, so you'll want to keep an eye on your oil level. Apart from that, you'll have many worry-free miles.
