The millennium falcon has a fuck ton of modifications made to it that actually make it a good ship. The issue is that it's all slapped together redneck style so it's very unreliable. Han's claim that it's the fastest ship in the galaxy is not actually that far off. It has a Class 0.5 Hyperdrive, which is the fastest hyperdrive in both canon and legends (with a few very obscure and circumstance-dependant exceptions, like the Jabitha and Aing-tii).
Ok. So I guess Leia think it's shit because it looks badly put together
Aaaand doesn't it constantly require maintenance due to this?
The millennium falcon is essentially an old Cessna plane crammed full of equipment from a military jet, held together by duct tape, spit, and good vibes. It is constantly breaking down because everything from its armor, to its engines, to its power core was never designed for a ship that size. But when it does work, it punches WAY above its class.
