    3 out of 5 3.0

    Slightly bland, but the old-style Escort is making a bit of a revival.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Extremely comfortable for its niche - more so than newer Fiesta and Focus.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Locks are poor, and alarm could do with upgrading. Deterrent devices work well.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Bought through dealer other than Ford.
