Driving
I learned to drive in a focus st170 and it simply destroys the escort on the bends. Good engine though, overtaking = no problem.
Performance
No barnstormer but I can keep up with VTRs, so I'm happy.

Reliability
Rattly brakes were fixed easily, also PAS fluid leak, otherwise sound.
Image
Sporty but not in yer face. Skirts make such a difference to the car. Subtle.
Comfort
Can't adjust wheel, so i have to sit closer, which is not preferable.

Security
Standard alarm is not that impressive but car is so anonymous, who is going to nick it?
