Nothing wrong with the car. This is not the first one I've driven. They do behave like this. There is a lot to dislike with Ford's programming.
As I mentioned above, the Focus RS was updated with a new tune, done at the same time as the head gasket. This new tune gets rave reviews for smoothness.
EDIT: My 2011 3.5L Ecoboost F150 drives perfectly. And pulls wonderfully, even at part throttle. It does prefer premium fuel, just like the Mustang.
