I dont know the present situation of Ford cars but checking one issue of Ford cars is very important. The fuel pump of some of the Ford cars are inside the petrol tank and if it is malfunctioning the mechanic should open the fuel tank. Malfunctioning of fuel pumps in Ford Cars is not a rare case. The fuel pump will not be very expensive but you will have to pay a higher labour charge to replace it. It is my personal experience few years back. Performance other than this was ok for me. It will be better to ask a mechanic about Ford.
