I see a lot of Ford bashing on this thread.
I used to sell Fords at a Ford dealership from 2004-2008. They didn't have the best products back then, though some of the ones that came out in that era have turned out to be pretty good cars, like the Fusion.
They've come a long way since that time, deciding to tackle the problem of customers wanting ever improving fuel economy but more HP at the same time, by embracing turbocharging. Yes, they've had some issues with the EcoBoost engines, the Fiesta/Focus dry clutch auto transmissions, timing chains/cam phasers, going back to the 3V Tritons, but they are also taking steps to improve reliability, power, and economy with the EcoBoost (revisions, to include ditching the single long timing chain in favor of 2 shorter chains, the impacted graphite-iron block on the 2.7, which gives strength and the capacity to run more boost and get better economy out of a smaller displacement engine, etc.).
Small engines with turbos instead of larger, NA engines is the way of the future with the ICE, and Ford's willingness to stick their necks out and become early adopters of this technology has put them ahead of other manufacturers. And the nature of the power of these turbocharged engines (tons of torque available from a low RPM) makes them very nice to drive.
Yeah, a few who have had problems have complained very loudly on the internet. But, remember, for every customer who's had a problem, there are a great many whose experience has been trouble-free.
And all this is coming from a Toyota fanboy! I'll sing their praises, too. I'm generally not a fan of GM, but they have had a few models I've liked. l've always been an admirer of the Corvette, for example.
