I don't agree with the results of that survey at except for service...Ford service is appaling at best.
Out of the 7 Falcons I've owned apart from the cost of regular servicing and parts I've only spent money on mechanical repairs on the replacement of one diff (on the XC) one reco trans (on the XD) ...alternator (EB), 2 Brake master cylinders (XA and EB). Not too bad over 27 years.
Alright so build quality ain't perfect but then they don't have a BMW price tag do they?
The BMW equivalent to a Fairmont Ghia 3V would the the 5 series 540iL which costs twice as much as the Ghia and 4 x the parts price if it needs major work. so on value for $ the Ford is a much better proposition..The 5 series would depreciate at a quicker rate too.
