Had a 1976 Ford Mustang II, 302 V8 and manual transmission. Had the worst paint job I've ever seen on a car...like the paint had grit in it when applied. A/C continually leaked onto the carpet, ruining it, couldn't keep a front end alignment at all. It came with those horrendous Firestone 500 tires that were eventually recalled. Terrible construction, in the time period when the US industry was just turning out crap. Funny thing is I still remember the name of the salesman, he walked with a severe limp and was from Oklahoma, his business card read Rod 'Crippled Indian' Edwan, but you can't use tags like that referring to race or disability these days. I swore off American made cars at that time and have had very good success with Mazda, Toyota, Subaru and Lexus vehicles. I finally bought a Ford Focus ST in 2015 after considering VW and Subaru, after almost five years have had no issues with the Focus and just change oil and rotate tires, and it has a perfect paint job.
Another terrible car was the Chrysler K-car of the early 80's, 'buy a car, get a check!'. Got one as a rental and it was the tinniest, cheapest, crappiest car I ever drove.
