i always hear people pissed about their products.
personally, ive had a ford for about 5 years (was 5 years old when i got it) and im happy with it in almost every way.
on the other hand, a good friend of mine got a gm last year and is miserable. the roof paint is coming off, the interior dashboard lights are erratic, bits are falling off, etc.
according to the mechanic in the area, not uncommon.
