that car really sounds strange after the damage.

Define better. Faster - yes maybe. The thing with Tänak is that he doesn't need to win every rally by 30 seconds or more (which he does), so he can afford a slower but more reliable car because of the raw speed he has. I think too that he would be in a better position this year with the Ford.
Hard to say, I think all are pretty equal, that's why I don't think anyone can point out the better one of them. The difference has to be made by the crew sitting in it, which is great. Put the top 3 (Tänak, Ogier, Neuville) in any car, and they could win with it. But I think none of those 3 would mind sitting in a Fiesta WRC at the moment. ;)
Agree, sadly we have 4 teams but 3 top drivers.
Made some calculations just for fun, excluded our top 3 drivers from every rally so far this year and the results are:
Rally wins:
Hyundai - 4
Ford - 3
Citroen - 1
Toyota - 0
Podium places in total:
Ford - 9
Hyundai - 7
Toyota - 5
Skoda - 2
Citroen - 1
And some say that Toyota is dominant and fastest car by far...
