Standard head unit is a FMS unit (Ford Mazda Sanyo alliance).
The XR5 unit is a Sony (although I get a feeling its still manufactured by FMS), but keeping in mind its not like Sony is known for it's great car stereos anyway.
As for the audio quality, make sure you turn off all EQ settings on the source (ipod etc). Distortion higher up could also mean the internal amp of the source is not great.
