I would prefer to buy American (and I believe that there are many hard working people out there), but not if the product is not well-made.
That said, I have no rattles...the majority of trouble (besides panel gaps/alignment) has to do with fair-to-poor part quality (dash replaced, steering gear, driver's seat cover). The Focus is a nice design, but it is seriously outclassed by the VW Golf/GTI (especially the new Mk.7). Mk 7, here I come (in Spring '14)

Best of luck in the future, I however, bleed blue. I have owned a FORD since I was 19 and won't look back... My 2013 focus, and my 2003 Lightning almost pull the same at 2K. best of luck in that VW.....
Oh I was 19 in 1995.....
