My mom and dad had a 95 Mercury Villager minivan shuttling around my brother and I. The minivan was a Nissan and Ford joint venture. Engine and transmission by Nissan and Ford everything else. Engine and transmission is fine even though it ran with a cloth stuck in its air intake for months. My dad was wondering why it didn't run right. Everything that did went wrong was made by Ford. The electronic locks, ignition assembly, a recall for exhaust fumes gaining access to the cabin area, and stupid brakes. Other than that, it ran fine. Its still used today and actually has less problem than my truely 1st car, a 96 Infiniti G20. My dad also had an 80s Ford Escort, total piece of crap. We had it when i really young, all i can remember was opening a shaken up soda in there and blasted it everywhere in that car.

That said, I like the BOSS 302 Mustang and the Raptor. Those cars, however, I wouldn't car about how unreliable it is. I would buy one just for their badass looks and fun factor.
