"Finesse" gets you good extras cheap.
Costs
Reasonable.

On the road
Driving
Not involving. Predictable if you like it, dull if you don't. Brake Pedal high up. Steering can feel vague but good power steering. Seats not comfy.
Performance
The high-tune turbodiesel (90) feels similar to petrol. Bit noisy at cruising speed.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems yet!
Image
"Image" and Escort Estate? Oxymoron.
Comfort
Aircon and power steering help it up from a one star rating.

Who'd want to steal a diesel escort estate? A Jealous taxi driver?
