1mth ago i was rear ended,by a speeding jerk awhile i was at a complete stop,he used my challenger as his brakes, totaled it,i just purchased a 2017 EcoBoost convertible i love it
This is my car except I have a convertible. The review is spot on. The interior feels luxurious and classy. It's a place you want to be. The touchscreen and Sync 3 are awesome. This car is great for the mature, conservative driver who just wants a great ride or someone who lives in an area with lower speed limits. If you want that extra power, flip the mode switch twice into Sport+ and have some fun. Great review.
Travfdy I agree - I really loved this car. Would definitely own one! I'm sure the convertible is a lot of fun too - thanks for the feedback 👍 I'm glad you liked the review
The Test Drive You're welcome. Oh yes. A premium convertible is very affordable. I got mine for only 25k with 8000 miles on it. I've seen 2016's out there as low as 20k.
Hay Rob I just bought a 2017 Mustang ecoboost premium package. 74,000 miles Ment condition ceramic coated yellow. And it's fast . My last Mustang 2013 v6 .was nice . But my ecoboost blows away the v6 ..... This is nicest car I have ever had . And yes you are right . It is really fun to drive ... l had it in sports mode paddal shifting . From 1geae at a dead stop to 3rd gear I was 60mph . And I haven't even hot to 6th gear . Great car . Good video.
The ecoboost is good car for someone who loves the look but don't need the power of the V8.Once you own a V8 mustang you don't want any other engine in it.I had an older mustang and the sound of those four barrels opening up was intoxicating.
Mr. Groovy 2 Shoes agreed, if I was to buy a Mustang I'd get the V8 (I wouldn't be able to daily drive it in NY with the winter anyway so might as well get the V8). The last V8 Mustang I drove was a 2005 but it sounded awesome. I have yet to test the latest generation. Although I might as well wait for the new 2018.
I could agree. I miss the sound of my 93 GT. But as crazy as it sounds I just have more fun in this Eco boost. It’s not crazy power that it’s unwieldy, but so much fun I have a smile on my face every time I get in.
@@andreaescano9641 I would be interested to see how much more you can squeeze out of this engine with a good tune and some modest upgrades. I think for a sporty daily driver it's really nice. Me personally I would opt for the 5.0, but for the Wife as a daily driver this is perfect for her.
I just bought this exact car with the 6 speed manual. 48 Miles on her. It’s truly amazing. I drove the V6, and it feels a bit laggy but still really fast when you get it right. I wanted a 5.0 but didn’t want the higher price. This car is plenty fast for my needs. Great review spot on. Have you driven the manual version? It’s a complete different feel.
Justin Weathersbee congrats that's awesome! I have not driven the manual yet but I want to. I'm sure it's awesome paired with this EcoBoost. Not only does the EB put down a good amount of power but it's so surprising coming from a 4-cylinder.
The Test Drive that was my same thought. I pulled out of the dealer on the test drive and got into it and was like “wow” that was unexpected. It even chirped the tires on shift from 1st to 2nd then in to 3rd again. Coolest thing is the gauges I have set at light blue and when I hit 6000 they all turned red, then blue and I dropped the rpm. Neat little feature.
Justin Weathersbee that's really cool - did not know about that feature! The technology including the ambient lighting in this car was awesome. So you ended up with the outgoing 2017 body style or the new (although not entirely new) 2018??
The Test Drive outgoing 2017. I love the aggressive look. I will say after driving this car for a day now. I really have no Buisness getting a V8 version. I would personally be crazy in that car. Sport + mode in this car on a long on ramp just crazy fun. My one complaint is the rear view camera I wish the car icon matched the car color you have. Mine is shadow black car but a white car on the camera.
If you can't afford a v8 this is a great alternative. I have this same car for 3 weeks now and loving it. You can still swing out the ass end and the premium trim is sweet
With my budget, this car is at the top of the list. I'm not a muscle car kind of guy (not a snowflake either lol) but this car is solid all around. Ford is on their game for sure. Its funny how car companies all copy each other. This looks like a Honda Accord coupe of BMW. Ecoboosts are easy to find used and you can get a good deal. 16K for a 2017 with 38K miles is pretty sweet. I was spoiled when I lived in NC where there were barely any police. Where I live now is ridiculous so having a really fast car here is dumb. I see so many people getting pulled over.
@@reaperactualgaming3075 Ok the new one isn't bad and u can make it look much better. i'm too old for a Civic now. Mustangs look and sound good and drop panties all day long. They do have that meathead vibe tho and too common. I'd rather get a BMW 440i and eat the repair cost if I get unlucky. Used BMWs are decently priced with warranties and handle wayyyyy better. Audi S4 would be awesome Then once I start making better money i'll get a used Jaguar F type for like 40K. Love that classic body style.
I’m going to pick up a Grabber Blue one tomorrow. Same premium model with a rear spoiler. I never thought I’d be buying a 4 cyl Mustang but here we are. I’m even more stoked after watching this video.
i have this Mustang but mine is a convertible. Black on black. It is one sweet ride and the looks are cool. I bought it last year. And it had 42,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, it did not have an owners manual, so i sent away for one. In the mean time i have been enjoying videos about my car. Thanks for the review, i liked it!
Why do people forget that Mustangs came with 4 cylinders for decades? There used to be a Mustang trim for every buyer. It was only in the 90's that it went away. Now it's back and stronger than ever. Do people not realize that the Ecoboost has more power and is faster than Fox Body 5.0's from the late 80's and early 90's?
Good quick to the point video bro. I got my eye on a 16 primeum ecoboost , after watching your video I'm definitely going to give a test drive! May even drive it home if we can make the price happen
I bought a gorgeous 98 trans am last august and yesterday my dad took it to the dealer to get the power steering fixed and he came home in that same mustang but in red and a convertible and I really enjoyed my time with it. When I rode to work it was just a smooth comfortable and fun ride. It convinced me to the point I made the purchase now at 22 I’m a proud owner of 2 classic rivals 🤟🏼
comment posters say all the same things. "4cyl dont belong in there on v8" blah blah lol. do some research my gosh all the comments from people who don't know mustang history. the 4 cyl turbo was in a mustang before the official "5.0" motor itself, do research for "84-85 1/2 SVO " its a collector car now, and did quite well in it's time, and has a cult following to boot. and guess what as far as HP the new ecoboost kills it!. i happen to own a SVO back in the day and several other american factory turbo cars. the fact they put out this tiny motor to propel such a in reality otherwise heavy car is amazing. more people should be grateful to ford to put a turbo mustang out in the middle of the turbo craze era. this thing is amazing. i could have bought a GT if i wanted as well and ofcourse i also like the GT, but i like turbo cars they are different and fun. for for not to much more mod money you can get an ecoboost running right next to a GT. so what it doesn't sound like a GT. if all you care about is the sound of a car versus actual performance. log out of youtube delete your account and take down your sti posters on your wall. be grateful to ford they nailed it with an ecoboost. also if you have never driven one or been in one please do us all a favor shhhhh it and watch and learn. the thing feels great half the people that don't know much about mustangs don't even know its a 4cyl when i give them a ride. and the interior is amazing as well. so please if you never driven one or know any history just be quiet you are not helping your self.... toodles!
I just recently had the opportunity to sit in the mustang, a 2017 EcoBoost model and I even sat in the back seats, depending on who's in the front driver or passenger seats, the rear is decently spaced for someone who is 5'10 200 lb.
I have a 2017 Eco Premium Automatic. If you put it in sport plus and the automatic start I have gotten 5.5 twice and once 5.4 it's pretty consistent. Also 3/4 tank of gas! Every car is different though. Awesome review! 👌
thanks! I really appreciate it. And that's awesome. This 2.3L EcoBoost really amazes me--puts out a lot of power for its size and a lot of fun to drive
More power than the V6 ? Yes. Better mileage than the V6 ? Yes. BUUUUUUUT ... You gotta use Premium gas with the Ecoboost, which is about 50 cents per gallon more expensive (for EVERY gallon for the life of the car) than the Regular gas you use in the V6. Over years of driving, that Premium gas is gonna cost you a bundle.
WRONG, it runs well on 87 octane and the owner's manual states that BUT high test gives you the maximum 310 horsepower. I have a 2015 and it runs great on regular 87 octane gas
John Blake it is true that the Ecoboost makes its rated HP of 310 on 93 octane though. Ive always used 93 octane in my car. It certainly doesnt bother me to spend $5 more at the pump, at all. On 87 octane, the car makes about 275 at the crank which is about 230ish hp to the wheel...
It wasn’t long ago that you had to buy a V8 GT to get the power this 4 cylinder gets. That’s nothing to scoff at. However the V8 is more than just the power....it’s the entire experience and character of it. The 4 cylinder could do 0-60 in 2 seconds and I would still prefer the V8. But there’s no reason to shit on anybody who buys the eco boost. It’s very impressive to say the least. But I have to have the whole experience which requires the V8 growl
You can only go so fast before you put a smile on smokies face. Horsepower is only applicable to the nearest drag strip. 4 cylinder Mustang or Ferrari- traffic tickets are great equalizers.
Nice review! I'm on the edge between a maxed-out 2018 ecoboost or a base 5.0 due to the price tag. I'm leaning more toward the ecoboost...seems to be plenty of power for a daily driver and easier on the wallet. Did your test car have magna-ride suspension, or is that new for 2018?
Scale Lawn that's a tough decision! If you live anywhere with snow the 5.0 could be an issue as a daily, but the power and sound are awesome. I might lean toward a loaded EcoBoost because at the end of the day it's still plenty of power and I'm all about having leather, nav, etc. Mine did not have the magneride - it used to be offered only on the Shelby GT350, but now for 2018 it's offered with the EcoBoost and GT performance packs. I can't wait to test it.
you should turn the traction control off and launch it. 6.5 seconds is slow. I have a 2018 Honda Accord 2.0 Turbo Sport that does 0-60 in 5 seconds flat.
Michael Zhou I was on a completely flat road where I do almost every 0-60 test. I would've loved to see it do better. Maybe the air quality in NY sucks or the tires are sticker than others...Who knows. Do you get 5.7-6.0 accelerating off idle or do you brake-torque launch the car?
Oh I see, yeah I live in California and most of the time temperature and humidity are ideal for the turbo cars. However, we don't have 93 Octane sadly. The best time I got was a 5.7 with advanced traction control off, at idle, and slightly downhill. The average time I've been getting are 5.9-6.0. Nothing really above 6 though. Great review by the way!
Michael Zhou that's awesome and thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was in California two weeks ago and I only had to fill up twice but I noticed neither of the gas stations had 93 so that makes sense. I have another video where I test this Mustang with 87 vs 93 octane and it only got 7.1sec with the 87 octane. Same road and outside temp one day apart and I did the run twice with each fuel to make sure it wasn't just a bad run. So the better fuel really does make a difference. It's a great car and engine regardless though.
Yeah, that's what I noticed too, this mustang does need premium gas to get better performance. Oh yeah, for the price and what you're getting, I think this ecoboost mustang is one of the best bang for your buck cars out there. Decent gas mileage, power is there, numerous tuning options , and overall a great looking car.
The Test Drive The ecoboost loses like 15 hp per octane level you drop! It’s really slow with 89octane because it’s down something like 40hp to keep from pre-detonating the fuel in the combustion chambers. You will lose to a Civic si if you run weak gas in the ecoboost.
In my opinion the Camaro interior is so mush better than the Mustang and Challenger with mustang and challenger they still look and feel like ford/dodge products but the Camaro feels and looks like like a supercar interior and took some cues from the Corvette
The convertible is heavier than coupe. Better ride.310hp--87octane,-30+ mph hwy-@-70 mph.-♡eco is -faster than v6(.my 2017 premium convertible 6 speed eco(((,,independent rear end is the big difference added to mustang -♡
Alex777084 I haven’t seen 5.4 stock but this was also without launching it. A lot of owners forums show other people getting high 6’s. Motor Trend got 5.6 with it on the track in 2015 by launching it. If I had launched it and had under a quarter tank of fuel maybe it would have gotten into the 5’s.
amber sedillo demon would be tough to get. There are so few out there. I will do my best to try to get my hands on one. Hellcat review is definitely coming soon though.
amber sedillo I might have liked the Challenger best if I would've driven the SXT Plus. But I really love the style of the Mustang interior. Challenger is still a GREAT car!
Started the video, thought I left my vacuum cleaner on lmao !😅😝✌🏽 Very cool car, but too big and heavy for a 2.3l Turbo. They should have supercharged the V6 to about 350 to be more “American”, or bored the block out to 4.0L to get the 350 hp and then sold the ecoboost 2.3l overseas for 3years or so and let them sort it out lol ! That would have done two things. 1. America gets a “special” version of “OUR” base V6 car as a send off before it was discontinued(a nice send off for years of V6 sales) and 2. Europe gets a 2.3l Turbo mustang that meets their fuel standards as well as the US market gets to see what the potential of the Turbo 4 is before it replaces the V6. A 350 hp and 325tq V6 would be a track carving monster with the light front end , no turbo lag , and all the power being available from 3500-7200 rpms, mmmmm 🤓👍! I can’t bring myself to test drive an ecoboost 😞.
You must have a pretty powerful vacuum cleaner! LOL. I agree with you though. I know they aren't supercharged but I would even love to see this with the turbocharged 2.7L or 3.5L EcoBoost (OR the 400hp/400lb-ft 3.0L in the new Lincoln MKZ and Continental).
Just install the Ford Performance package.... that should solve some of the HP limitations. That adds an extra 40HP at the worst and 100HP at the very best section of the power band. I'd like to see the 0-60 with just those mods.
But no smoking stickers is not cool or any amendment to the Mustang. It's made proudly in USA by a huge engineering team who spend years on it. So please don't
MrAlternation I don’t know if you’ll find a used Mustang EcoBoost under 15k (maybe you can). Depending on where you live the 300s offers available AWD and is more practical (4 doors). But the Mustang is better looking in my opinion. The 300 might cost less to maintain since it’s naturally aspirated. If you’re really split between the two I’d look for the better deal.
It might be boring, but get a economyish car that won't break the bank with repairs/fuel/insurance costs, I have had freinds who bought awesome cars but they are parked alot because they couldn't afford to run them as much as they wanted. that being said don't buy something you hate to use. hell I am having a hard time trying to balance Wants VS Needs when car shopping
You kept your hand on the shifter the entire video yet you're driving an automatic lol Edit: driving with one hand doesn't make you cool. Two hands is always better.
@@flynfree9033 Maybe causally, but if you're driving a sports car you and doing pulls you should have two hands. I've seen soo many young kids hammer the gas and lose control because one hand cannot compensate for loss of traction fast enough. That's why Mustang owners crash lol
You sound like Benson from Regular Show 😂
I want to hear him yell "OR YOU'RE FIRED!"
holy shit you're right XD
Honestly!
hahahahha yes!
Mab it is 🤔

really appreciate the support and the sub! thanks again!
I held a stopwatch on the 0-60 run and got 5.5 seconds for the speedometer to hit 60 mph.
Yeah wife just bought one tonight, going straight to the shop for bigger turbos, intercooler and exhaust.
I just bought this car today. 2017 mustang ecoboost premium. Very nice car. Pretty quick. Not s musclecar but a sweet sports car
More power than the V6 ? Yes.
Better mileage than the V6 ? Yes.

Ive always used 93 octane in my car. It certainly doesnt bother me to spend $5 more at the pump, at all.
On 87 octane, the car makes about 275 at the crank which is about 230ish hp to the wheel...

Kyle Ginsel thx
Just got a 2018 ecoboost premium. They are awesome!
i watch videos like this already having one just for the compliments :)
I thought they had a 4 cylinder back in the day. The turbo won't go out on the V6. Nice car.
They did they had a different 2.3 turbo in the SVO Mustang. A desirable collector's car today.
When Ford announced it was going to put a 4 banger in the mustang ,Ford salesman all over the country thought to themselves "fuck my life" ! Lol!!!
But luckily they're happy with their sales bro lol
loved the video bro. just convinced me to get a mustang.
glad you enjoyed it! and that's awesome I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with a Mustang!

Scale Lawn that's a tough decision! If you live anywhere with snow the 5.0 could be an issue as a daily, but the power and sound are awesome. I might lean toward a loaded EcoBoost because at the end of the day it's still plenty of power and I'm all about having leather, nav, etc. Mine did not have the magneride - it used to be offered only on the Shelby GT350, but now for 2018 it's offered with the EcoBoost and GT performance packs. I can't wait to test it.
HELL YEAH!!! I'M PUMPED!!!
Rob, great review. Thanks for sharing the info.
Sergeant Fit thanks for the feedback and glad you liked it 👍
You're welcome.
Is this stock exhaust? Sounds really goood
6.5 seconds?! I got mine down to 5.3
Is the eco boost a good first time car for someone then?
Yes
New sub for great review material and format. 👍🏿
thanks man!
Do you have a stock exhaust on this car? Or did you install an after market?
you should turn the traction control off and launch it. 6.5 seconds is slow. I have a 2018 Honda Accord 2.0 Turbo Sport that does 0-60 in 5 seconds flat.
Lies
Lmao
Keep telling yourself that, bud.
MV Gamer which honda is that
damn 6.5 sec, were you going uphill? I've been getting 5.7-6.0 on 91 Octane. Stock
Michael Zhou I was on a completely flat road where I do almost every 0-60 test. I would've loved to see it do better. Maybe the air quality in NY sucks or the tires are sticker than others...Who knows. Do you get 5.7-6.0 accelerating off idle or do you brake-torque launch the car?
Oh I see, yeah I live in California and most of the time temperature and humidity are ideal for the turbo cars. However, we don't have 93 Octane sadly. The best time I got was a 5.7 with advanced traction control off, at idle, and slightly downhill. The average time I've been getting are 5.9-6.0. Nothing really above 6 though. Great review by the way!
Michael Zhou that's awesome and thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was in California two weeks ago and I only had to fill up twice but I noticed neither of the gas stations had 93 so that makes sense. I have another video where I test this Mustang with 87 vs 93 octane and it only got 7.1sec with the 87 octane. Same road and outside temp one day apart and I did the run twice with each fuel to make sure it wasn't just a bad run. So the better fuel really does make a difference. It's a great car and engine regardless though.
Yeah, that's what I noticed too, this mustang does need premium gas to get better performance. Oh yeah, for the price and what you're getting, I think this ecoboost mustang is one of the best bang for your buck cars out there. Decent gas mileage, power is there, numerous tuning options , and overall a great looking car.
The Test Drive
The ecoboost loses like 15 hp per octane level you drop! It’s really slow with 89octane because it’s down something like 40hp to keep from pre-detonating the fuel in the combustion chambers.
You will lose to a Civic si if you run weak gas in the ecoboost.
Great review. Still sticking to the NA v6 motor haha
too bad it doesn’t have the premium screen i can’t stand that tiny ass screen in these
In my opinion the Camaro interior is so mush better than the Mustang and Challenger with mustang and challenger they still look and feel like ford/dodge products but the Camaro feels and looks like like a supercar interior and took some cues from the Corvette
Beautiful car!
The convertible is heavier than coupe. Better ride.310hp--87octane,-30+ mph hwy-@-70 mph.-♡eco is -faster than v6(.my 2017 premium convertible 6 speed eco(((,,independent rear end is the big difference added to mustang -♡
Chet Loves America! You need to use 91 octane
How did you get 6.5 ?? if it was 5.4
Alex777084 I haven’t seen 5.4 stock but this was also without launching it. A lot of owners forums show other people getting high 6’s. Motor Trend got 5.6 with it on the track in 2015 by launching it. If I had launched it and had under a quarter tank of fuel maybe it would have gotten into the 5’s.
i'm 6'2 250lb. i practice boxing regularly. will i still be called a bitch for getting the ecoboost? (reposting till i get the answer)
A Big guy with weak self esteem🤣
I love mine! Pony package!
Good job
My '18 with the performance pack scoots me to 60 in a current best of 5.6 seconds...
Does this stereo have Android auto?
Were is the fog lights🤔
You should do a challenger hellcat or demon review
amber sedillo demon would be tough to get. There are so few out there. I will do my best to try to get my hands on one. Hellcat review is definitely coming soon though.
Automatic transmission though?
Oh no! Not that!
Shelby is actually in tears seeing this
Oh well.
What’s the 0-60
I like the challenger interior best then the mustang then the camaro
amber sedillo I might have liked the Challenger best if I would've driven the SXT Plus. But I really love the style of the Mustang interior. Challenger is still a GREAT car!
your fired 😂
Take care and keep car on rhe road
Started the video, thought I left my vacuum cleaner on lmao !😅😝✌🏽
Very cool car, but too big and heavy for a 2.3l Turbo. They should have supercharged the V6 to about 350 to be more “American”, or bored the block out to 4.0L to get the 350 hp and then sold the ecoboost 2.3l overseas for 3years or so and let them sort it out lol !
That would have done two things. 1. America gets a “special” version of “OUR” base V6 car as a send off before it was discontinued(a nice send off for years of V6 sales) and 2. Europe gets a 2.3l Turbo mustang that meets their fuel standards as well as the US market gets to see what the potential of the Turbo 4 is before it replaces the V6.
A 350 hp and 325tq V6 would be a track carving monster with the light front end , no turbo lag , and all the power being available from 3500-7200 rpms, mmmmm 🤓👍!
I can’t bring myself to test drive an ecoboost 😞.
You must have a pretty powerful vacuum cleaner! LOL. I agree with you though. I know they aren't supercharged but I would even love to see this with the turbocharged 2.7L or 3.5L EcoBoost (OR the 400hp/400lb-ft 3.0L in the new Lincoln MKZ and Continental).
Just install the Ford Performance package.... that should solve some of the HP limitations. That adds an extra 40HP at the worst and 100HP at the very best section of the power band. I'd like to see the 0-60 with just those mods.
But no smoking stickers is not cool or any amendment to the Mustang. It's made proudly in USA by a huge engineering team who spend years on it. So please don't
Pricing??
bikebudha01 anywhere between 17,000-22000 depending
Atomiczombie24 but it goes down during time right?
this or a chrysler 300s ? still going to school. wants a used car under 15K
MrAlternation I don’t know if you’ll find a used Mustang EcoBoost under 15k (maybe you can). Depending on where you live the 300s offers available AWD and is more practical (4 doors). But the Mustang is better looking in my opinion. The 300 might cost less to maintain since it’s naturally aspirated. If you’re really split between the two I’d look for the better deal.
get a 2004 honda accord 4cyl ,with a good history. save your money till your finish college
It might be boring, but get a economyish car that won't break the bank with repairs/fuel/insurance costs, I have had freinds who bought awesome cars but they are parked alot because they couldn't afford to run them as much as they wanted.
that being said don't buy something you hate to use.
hell I am having a hard time trying to balance Wants VS Needs when car shopping
now im not the BIGGEST ecoboost person, but 6.5 doesnt sound right.. the 2019 premium does 0-60 in 4.7
0-60 6.5? You must be driving on 87 octane fuel
Yea 😂😂
My 2016 eco boost is about half a second faster 0 to 60 then my 2014 v6 but believe it or not my v6 got 33 mpg highway but the eco boost only gets 27.
Has the sucky rims tho
I have the 20 inch
Mr.mister random I agree. I have the convertible premium but I don’t really dig the rims
@@gymuy_ike to be honest I actually kinda dig the Base model v6 rims more. 😂
the 4banger just make it too Focusy for me.
I prefer my V6 over the ecoboost. Less stress on the motor without a turbo and much more potential with mods.
Eco boost will gap a v6 easy 😂
Is it Auto Transmisson
Sounds like my scion FRS
Ford came out with a 2.3 in the 80's ...........
1976
The mustang isn’t the best in interior, the parts that aren’t leather is cheap plastic. I have the 2016 5.0 premium. Chill bro lol.
2017 5.0 premium. Chill bro lol
Austin Warren what a dumbass
almost 7 seconds for the price is just not good.
Eco....a Fiesta sound.
the wheels are horrendous.....why can't Ford ever get them right?!?!!?
You kept your hand on the shifter the entire video yet you're driving an automatic lol
Edit: driving with one hand doesn't make you cool. Two hands is always better.
I normally driving with one hand too, unless overtaking a wheeler truck.
@@flynfree9033 Maybe causally, but if you're driving a sports car you and doing pulls you should have two hands. I've seen soo many young kids hammer the gas and lose control because one hand cannot compensate for loss of traction fast enough. That's why Mustang owners crash lol
@@classicbass3456 maybe young kids, not hard to handle a car like this one handed though. It's a 4 banger mustang, not a GT350R or anything like that
@@michaelmercer9469 Ya I mostly meant inexperienced drivers.
More like 5.5 lol
An automatic? Turn in your man card.
Slow as shit lol
Biased
It still looks like a cat fish with that wide upper grill
lol my 07v6 got to 60 under 6 sec 😂
6.5 seconds!! Could do better!! Low 4.
