Is Ford affordable to repair/maintain?

I know luxury cars are usually most expensive to maintain, but how are Fords when it comes to repair/maintenance bills?

Specifically, how do they compare to Honda as far as practical maintenance? (Honda was my first make, but this is my first Ford.)
Gently used Focus SE hatch, 2014 model year…
This is a way newer car than I'm accustomed to (I last drove a wonderful 1990 Accord) and it's definitely more computerized. Would I still adhere to the 'every 5,000 miles' mark for oil changes, if I drive infrequently, under mostly normal conditions?

Just trying to figure out what kind of leeway (if any) the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor gives me. Thanks for your patience! Please, only genuine answers as I'm genuinely curious.
