If so does text messaging work? Does the phone book and calling work?
I just got (barely had it a full month) a 2013 Ford Fiesta, and the SYNC works great with my Lumia 820. To answer your specific questions, text messaging over Bluetooth is phone dependent; my 820 doesn't support it, so no. However, it I initiate a voice command with the phone paired (by long-pressing the middle, Windows button at the bottom) the voice commands occur through the SYNC Bluetooth audio. So the music will stop and I'll hear "Please say your command." And then I can say, "Text Girlfriend Mobile", and it will say, "Texting Girlfriend Mobile. Please say your message," and so on and so forth.
The phone book and calling works great. I downloaded my address book to my car and with the press of a button I can say "Call Girlfriend Mobile" and viola.

When streaming music, are you guys able to see the artists and track title via Bluetooth?
Yes. And by hitting the SYNC button on the steering wheel, I can give it commands like, "Play Artist Dream Theatre" or "Play Song Thrift Shop" and it goes directly to those songs. All in all, it's pretty sweet.
(Although I should say that I stopped listening to music over Bluetooth from my phone; my car has a USB port, so I loaded all my music onto a USB thumbdrive and I just keep that plugged in. The voice commands over SYNC work just as well with a USB thumbdrive - if your ID3 tags are correct - as they do with Bluetooth audio.)
