    I have a 2017 F-150 with the twin turbo 2.7 engine. So far, I have 174,000 miles on it with little to no problems. I normally keep my car/truck for 15 years. Ford says I can change the oil every 15000 miles. Sorry Ford, being old school I change my oil every 5000 miles and Transmission fluid every 50,000. Proper maintenance is the name of the game. I have been using Mobil 1 since 1991.
    One more thing, this truck has been towing my 7000 lb travel trailer through 44 states since new which accounts for most of my driving. I'm on my 3rd set of tires, 2nd battery and 3rd brake job. Will be doing another anti-freeze change and tires soon.
    I am a retired Ford tech with 45 years experience, I retired in 2017.
    For me retirement means camping, fishing and hunting.

We added a bigger inter cooler, bigger turbo, turbo blow off valve, cold air intake and took off the resonator off the exhaust. Then had it professional tuned with the cobb access port installed. Car runs amazing and gets close to 350 hp. Also added an oil catch can because of the fuel injector placement.

    From 1984-1986, Ford made the SVO Mustang with a turbocharged 2.3L. My buddy had an '85 and it was bulletproof, got decent fuel economy (when he kept his foot out of it he got around 20 in town and 28 on the highway), and dramatically outhandled the 5.0s due in part to the far superior weight distribution. That engine only had around 200 HP, but the car weighed 4-500 pounds less than the modern one so 0-60 is only a second slower. What's old is new...

It sucked pretty much all the time, but there were times in the dead of winter when it was balls cold out that it ran like a banshee. They took the same basic engine, put a better turbo on, a small intercooler and EFI to make the SVO. I think they made up to 210 HP and good torque. Fiddle with the boost and you can make a good chunk more. That iron SOHC 2.3 is probably the most raced engine of all time (in 1.6/2.0 trim) and is an absolute tank of an engine. Good luck trying to kill one.

With stick-shift, I try to shift very gently, so that the pressure relieve valve of the turbo doesn't spring in action, use low rpm (1200 - 2500/min), and before shut-off mostly let the engine idle half a minute to cool the turbo.
    One disappointment is uphill in the snow! Because at less than 1000 rpm it rumbles, that rumble transmits to the tires, and the car slips. 3-cyl-problem! maybe it wouldn't matter with an automatic transmission.

    2014 Ford Fiesta ST 1.6 ecoboost 160,000 miles and going. Oil change every 5,000 miles. Oil in a turbo car gets gets hotter as the oil lubricates the turbo. I have the dealer do the oil change and use a coupon. I am on my 4th set of brake pads and 4th set of tires. I also have swapped the rotors twice. The initial brake pads were too aggressive and they and the rotors were all gone by 30,000 miles (originally it had racing brakes that stopped you in a hurry). Ford changed the pad compound in 2015 and pads were hard to get as the auto cross community burned up all the spares. I now use Canadian rotors. I drive normal and get 33 MPG. I can still spin the front wheels if I hit the throttle too hard and the road is wet when I start out at a light. The car is nimble and quite fun to drive and I drive it daily to my job as a math teacher. Changing the oil is the key to longevity in the ecoboost.

      I learn to drive in a 66 Mustang with a 289. I now have a 2015 EcoBoost Mustang 50-year Edition with 6-speed Auto. With the 4-cylinder there is less weight in the front end which gives it much better handling than the V8. And for me the horsepower and torque far exceed the old 289 and is plenty for me. I live in the suburbs and many times drive to the cities which involve city streets and freeway driving and even at 70 miles an hour on the freeway I still get 26 miles per gallon. I don't drive it in the winter and is not a daily driver so I only have 11,000 miles on it. Eventually I will put in an oil catch can to help reduce the carbon buildup at the intake valves. I change oil every year with synthetic and with regular maintenance this car should last me many years. With as little as I paid for it it is still cheaper than a used older sports car. I've never been one to sit at a stoplight smoke the tires. When young I had a 71 Cuda with a 340 4-speed. I used to love running down my road with sharp curves and Hills and straight areas. This mustang gives me that same thrill as a youngster

      The 3.7s are solid/reliable engines... Some of the earlier models (~2011-2014) offered a performance upgrade option (Mayhem Mustang) where they upgraded a lot of brake/suspension components with GT parts and upgraded differential gearing. Unfortunately, when they rolled out the Ecoboost, they stopped offering the upgrades on the 3.7 and only made them available on the Ecoboost. They really improved the V6s from the previous generation (4.0 SOHCs)... However, the MT82 does take some getting use to though.

    every 30k miles or less you got to have the valves clened to get all the carbon off so if you love an $800 bill every 30-40k miles be my guest the V-8 is the only way to go IMO.

I had problems with my Ford Fusion now I drive a Toyota. How many others that have had these issues have followed me and now have a Honda or Toyota? I can tell you A lot from what I saw at the Toyota dealership. Tons of Ford and GM used cars for sale. Most traded in for Toyotas from customers pissed at GM and Ford.

      @NDIrishfan71 I will say my Fiesta ST has been flawless so far. I beat on it but I take care of it as well. Carbon buildup is the nature of GDI. VW experienced that in the early 2000s when they first brought out GDI vehicles. The 1.6L EcoBoost is the best of all the EcoBoost family. They've gone 300k miles in the Fiesta ST platform. Same engine in a fusion or escape, except for mines a manual transmission

    Diluted oil can actually happen in newer Hondas with GDI. It’s just not likely bc they haven’t been around too long and they are good enough to where it rarely happens.

      I see alot of F150s, Escapes, Mustangs, Expeditions, Transits, and fusions with ecoboosts with 200,000 or more miles on them. I live in Houston and used to work at a Ford dealership. I used to think the same too.

    I have a 2016 Taurus SHO with the twin Turbo 3.5L. Had it for 20k miles now with no issues, even have it slightly modded for more HP. My biggest worry with it is the internal chain driven water pump giving out and leaking. So far no issues with that, and it's still under warranty till 100k miles, which is another 25k for me.
    Also have a 2009 Cobalt SS with the Turbo GDI 2.0 with 149k on it. Biggest issue with that is the carbon build up that I had walnut shell blasted around 105k miles, I'm sure it'll need done again soon, or just replace the whole motor or scrape the car.
