Yes, Mkiv Supras are very reliable, especially if they're bone-stock (unmodified) and properly maintained.

For maintenance, simply follow the owner's manual. Mainly just fluid changes, etc.

After about 100K miles a couple of things need to be changed that aren't in the owner's manual - the harmonic dampener and the coilpacks.

The (unmodified) TTs are not less reliable, again assuming proper maintenance and synthetic oil changes.

Definitely, if you keep it bone stock, and you keep it well-maintained (even in the winter!). If modified, it depends a LOT on how well it is modified, and how it is driven/'abused'.
