  • @christopherpauley8174
    @christopherpauley8174 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This car/engine was essentially the test platform for what became the 2.0 ecoboost and 2.3 ecoboost. This engine is loaded with problems that were all revised in the ST and RS/Mustangs. If you buy one of these in 2024 and it's ever had any modifications or has over 75k miles, you can reasonably expect to need to rebuild the engine soon. If you're looking around for that cheap hot hatch that's fairly dependable and won't require you to dump a ton of money into, this isn't it. The Focus ST is easily twice as reliable. But if you do have money to waste on this car, it's untamed, not electronically suppressed tendencies are a much more fun experience. Just be ready to spend a lot of money and time working on it.

    • @FrankShaft
      @FrankShaft 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No sure how reliable the ecoboosts are. I know the 1.6 ecoboosts are not reliable because they need good maintenance and are not tolerant to bad maintenance. Same with the 2.3 in the mazda. It suffers from some oil starvation problems and the vvt commonly goes bad. As well as turbo seals. But if you well maintain your car it will be reliable. From my knowledge the engine in this car is far from extremely unreliable, but is also far from extremely reliable.

    • @christopherpauley8174
      @christopherpauley8174 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@FrankShaft I was referring to the super widely used 2.0 ecoboost in the ST. That engine is in a massive number of vehicles worldwide and has a very low failure rate. It's a closed deck design and totally solid. It suffered from none of those issues you are talking about there. Beating all the factory OE short comings is what you have to do yourself if you want an MZR 2.3 to survive. Manage PCV well, address the imbalance in the intake manifold if you're running more boost, change oil every 3k miles (not 5), change plugs often, upgrade your turbo drain and supply lines, and pay attention to the little things that can cause knock and just don't run it hard if that's going on. That's what can help this engine live, but at the end of the day neither it or the Ecoboost 2.0 is gonna have that reliability factor like a Honda or Toyota engine. Ford saw all those problems I just mentioned on the MZR and did address them with the Ecoboost 2.0.

    Cousins had 1994-1997, so 5th gen, Friends mom had a 2000, and grandparents had a 1998, both of the 6th gen. I've known people with the 2003-2007, 7th gen. And I know plenty with the 8th gen, like you show here. That is an EX-L, EX had cloth. There was LX, LX-P, which was an LX with I believe a power drivers seat an alloy wheels. EX had the cloth and sunroof, EX-L had leather. There was an SE in I think 2012, EX-L no sunroof. Then for the coupe you had LX-S with the EX motor, EX, EX-L and for both sedan and coupe, V6. I think I'd rather have a 2006-2012 Ford Fusion over this.
