Works good as any. I've used them exclusively on my Vans.

The difference between them and the multi-wire on is the one with the
multi wire version has a built in heater to rapidly heat the unit. This
brings it on-line much faster. The signle wire- splice type heats up
from the exhaust heat, which requires a bit more time. Both have to be
hot to work properly. So it't really just a matter of choice. $40 for
the same ride and the $120 unit. Only with the latter you are paying for
the heater, and may save a miniscule amount f uel.

BTW, I think it's a Ford Ox sensor that works well for the WBX.
