The comfort is not good but not the best...Going down the highway you feel fine, nothing sudden nothing great though. It isn't bumpy but you do feel the bumps, it has a firm suspension. Performance is the best about the car; you have no problem passing someone or take a hard turn at speed. The AWD is great but if you turn TCS off it still has other systems that don't allow maximum fun. Sliding it in the snow with TCS off it will stop you and make you drive right! Annoying but good I guess. The overall design is good, the outside is pretty nice looking and the inside (other than the face carbon fiber) isn't that cheep looking either. The reliability is not at 5 simply because there was a small engine problem that could have been huge but wasn't Ford knew about this and fix the small problem at no charge. The MPG is good but not best, the transmission is odd and shifts rather high most of the time, the weather driving is no problem and it has plenty of room. A good car all around!
