Seems to be a theme around XD-EA falcons
I would have suggested XF-EA as well. EA's had all sorts of problems associated with design/production.

Personally
EL, AU2 and FG2 have all been excellent mechanically
AU was the worst from aesthetics perspective- it wasn't until crca 2011 when Mercedes tried something similar with the CLS series, so I'll claim it was decades ahead of its time.

TF cortina, BA2 RTV v8, and bf2 xr8 were ok for me. Biggest issue was with a BF2 Xr8.

As Jastel suggests, the issues associated with car ownership seem to be getting smaller and more trival.
