I don't give a rats behind what anyone says, I've had the ecoboost in an automatic as a rental and loved it. In fact, I bought an F150 with the 2.7 ecoboost, I like Ford's turbos so much. I wouldn't waste money on a V8 ever again, not in a truck or car. I do wish the Mustang had a V6 ecoboost option, but the four cylinder was definitely a fun car to drive. It completely blows away V8's of the past. If you were a fan of 90's sporty cars that had turbos, this is on par with even the six cylinder turbos. And yes, it's far, far, far more efficien than a V8, so whoever's saying it's not is a bold faced liar. My 2.7 ecoboost F-150 gets 21 mpg combined in mostly daily city driving.
Good review. I love the idea of Mustangs galloping about the UK. I have a 2020 Mustang Ecoboost, was going to get the GT but couldn’t justify the added cost when it’s mostly for around town. I’ve been very happy with it that’s far. Still, every time I see a GT I’m half tempted to go trade for one…
Thanks for watching and commenting Jon. The eco boost can be good for around town but for the full mustang experience the full V8 would be best. Plus it’s badged on the side and you get the nice GT LOGO on the back also. I’f your thinking of upgrading I would say you should go for it. Test drive the V8 and see for yourself. Keep us updated 👍
After driving a Fusion (aka Mondeo) with the EcoBoost 2.0...I was impressed, actually dumped my old school older V6 model in favor of the Aston Martin looking later Fusion. The smaller engines arent bad but they need religious oil changes
Wow I find it hard to believe there is no mention of the TSB on the short block of the 2.3L . The short of it is that it’s crap! Ford being ford tryed to eek out as much power out that block missed a crucial mechanical short coming, the head gasket in that car is bound to fail at low to mid mileage with zero modifications done to said engine, I know because I had an eco mustang and the head gasket blew at 52,000 miles. This was not just a fluke, this engine is known for its problems with failure at the head gasket. Ford knows it and has done very little to correct the problem. Just hope if you buy one and the head gasket goes that your within your power train warranty. If not your left with the bill. This was the only reason I got rid of mine. Other than that I loved the car.
Good to know and they stopped selling eco in uk only to produce it in the 24 guise in USA still has the eco boost engine as well. What have you gone for now?
@@frusciantesplectrum7980 There's not much difference to be honest think a bit more power with the new eco-boost and a slight face-lift. What colour have you gone for?
It’s the only way to afford this car in Europe ! The law about exhaust fumes is very clear here ! It’s better to fulfilled your dream this way instead of full the national coffers 🤣
I live in Greece ! We get taxes even for our breath 🤣 the law there is that you pay a yearly fee based on cc ! Think that a 2.0 car you have to pay around 600-700€ which means a monthly salary but if the car is less than 10years old model then you pay based on exhaust fumes. ! The price is ok ( 35-50K for a second hand mustang ) but the taxes don’t let us even look for cars like that with V8 engine and 4-5000 cc ! So the ecoboost is a solution for us ! Anyway it’s a dream car and I love to get it in the future ! Greetings from Greece !

Bought one a few weeks back after watching this video, I love it! Excellent video.
Great to hear and thanks for watching! Share and spread the word 👍😂
If you get a convertible you can fit adults in the back.
Is the background music necessary? Driving me nuts.

What year fusion?
13 Fusion Titanium 2.0 EcoBoost, coming up to 250k miles.. still takes off like a rocket and no turbo lag @@ISITWORTHITUK
2013 Fusion Titanium 2.0 EcoBoost, almost 250k miles.. still takes off like a rocket, no turbo lag@@ISITWORTHITUK

Sold that piece of shit eco boom! Got 3rd gen coyote!
@@theduke7957 I want to see a pic of that engine! Ha send to info@isitworthit.uk
beautiful car ,
Is it still with wetbelt engine? Soo scared of ecoboost
2.3 is known for head gasket problems, the V8 Coyote is nigh on bulletproof as long as oil and filter changed regularly
@@jaystravelshots4625 Wet belt plus the eco boost is only sold now in USA.
I pick mine up on Saturday.
Nice have you gone eco-boost 2023?
@@ISITWORTHITUK mine is a 17 plate. Unfortunately, the newer ones are out of my price range ☺️
@@frusciantesplectrum7980 There's not much difference to be honest think a bit more power with the new eco-boost and a slight face-lift. What colour have you gone for?
5.0l maybe sound better but the 2.3 ain’t that much different in performance
They still make the Eco boost Mustang even in the new 2024 shape in the USA ONLY unfortunately!
and it's cheap to modify, plus the 2,3 can get to 600hp with bolt ons, and a basic tune, and with turbos it can get to 800 easy
Nice colour
I was driving my 6.2L v8 today next to one of these.. sorry but it sounded terrible.. probably stock exhaust ill give it that
What exhausts have you fitted to your Stang?
Not much talk about the engine.
No one ever dreamt of owning a 2.3l Mustang. The fuel economy is not that much better than the 5.0.
Jason, you can't speak for everyone. How do you know that no one that have ever dreamt of owning a 2.3l Mustang?

@@giannistsiatsmas8776I live in Europe, well I used to until Brexit. In the UK, the GT outsold the Eco version by a large margin.

@@giannistsiatsmas8776 , that’s brutal. I feel for ya man. Nothing quite like a Coyote engine at 7000rpm.
The background music is just so no no no
