There is only so much engineering and fit and finish(compared to more expensive models) that we/Ford build into a car to make it relatively inexpensive.
The more money you pay=the more quality you get.
This guy is happy with the price but not happy with the quality.
Go try out a Toyota(a cheap one) and you will see my point. I have seen Toyota's rusting after 3 years in service.

I dunno, my '05 Focus was tight as a drum until had that meeting with the meathead who ran the red in '08 and I had been doing stuff to it too.
Hell the Fusion is still rock solid even after getting hit. Either I got extremely lucky twice or maybe the people who complain about Fords fit & finish are even pickier than I am :P (I had the dealer replace a doorjamb on the Fusion that had obviously been forced into position)
