You'll be fine if you don't over mod the car and service properly - they only tend to go pop when you push them too far! There will always be the odd std engine failure but that is the norm with any car.

Just treat it with respect, proper warm up and cool down. Don't redline etc u should be fine. If yr buying second hand then speak to the previous owner to gauge how he treated it.
