I can't stand 'em. I drive a 2004 focus SVT and I love my car a lot, but after 2004 I became disgusted with the direction in which Ford was traveling. I've been a ford fan my whole life, but they suck right now. Fortunately they're developing new motors which they will be implementing in the next few years. They're called "eco-boost". They will combine smaller displacement with direct injection turbo systems for significant power to displacement ratio. Keep an eye out! Ford should make a good turn around. For 2008, though, they suck...horribly.
