Reliability
Good apart from heatshields, which keep falling off resulting in rattles from underneath. Quite annoying.

OK. One of the best standard spoilers around. Every second driveway has escort though!
Comfort
OK on motorway, good around town. Doesnt like traffic too much. Engine gets warm quickly, cooling fan always on.
