As far as quality, I dont think Fords are so much unreliable as they dont use quality parts, cheap out whenever they can, and cut corners as much as possible.
Especially on a Focus. It almost hurts to drive one
80K miles, daily driven, cross country road trips, autocrossed for years, flogged at track days, and drag strips. Yep all still as good as new (actually better w/ some bolt on mods), gets 30mpg, no squeeks or rattles, fit and finish still good, rides great, interior in perfect condition, paint is shiney and new, at least as perfect as a 6 year old car can get.
Weird. I suppose somehow my Ford must have been a freak accident of good design and excellent build quality.
