Although I pick on 'em all the time, I can't really complain about Fords...my family has owned as many of them as Chevys (we've had 8, including 5 Escorts from '81-'94). Overall, we've had pretty good success with them (except that those older Escorts liked to blow their aluminum heads at 85K). My mom's '94 wagon had a few warranty problems back in the early days (airbag light, gear shifter), but it has 90,000 miles now and runs great.

The Escort still exists, although only as a ZX2, which is not a bad little car.

I've considered the Focus, but I'm more partial to the Cavalier/Sunfire. I definitely want a car with more room (we currently own a Metro, so I'm sure you understand).
