I am kind of the same except always Ford.
I have a 2016 Territory, and for once there hasn't been a niggle yet. And I have had Falcons since my first car, an XW Falcon I got from the trading post just after high school. Couldn't open the tailgate because of rust haha. But they have all had something that pissed me off to some degree, but I kept buying them because they were built here and the inline 6 engine hardly changed over the years, so I got to know how they operated and what to look out for.
As soon as they stopped making them here, I have written them off. It is Japan and Korea all the way now with a preference for Mazda or Hyundai. I might be tempted by a Mustang one day. Never know.
