I traded my ecoboost for a GT and have been very happy with it. That being said, the GT is a thirsty beast. And yes, you never hear the end of "Its not a V8" when you buy an ecoboost.
@@samanthajames9773 I enjoy my V8 more than I did my Ecoboost. I missed the sound of a V8. I had a 2007 FMF edition Expedition with a Flowmaster exhaust on it and it rumbled.
I would like to see it in a 2020 rendition of a Pinto. Yes, it was an econobox and it had bad press but it was small, light weight and to some, like me, actually looked pretty good.
Oh geez I remember the first time I saw a Sierra Cosworth...I fell in love. It was modded with a huge turbo, BOV and a FMIC. Tuned with an exhaust. Wow, still remember it like yesterday, this was 20years ago.
In Australia that’s similar to the base model we get in the Mustang range...same wheels, lip spoiler, etc, active exhaust, and everything else, including the full digital dash and large touch screen. It has a high level of equipment compared to what I’ve seen in the USA. We just bought a new 2.3 High Performance six speed manual. It’s fantastic.
It, feeling smaller and more nimble than the V8, actually makes perfect sense. It has considerably less weight under the hood, on the front suspension and tires, hence is likely to turn in sharper and handle a bit more lively in general, making it feel smaller than it is, but can also make the ride a bit more choppy than the V8. Thanks for pointing that out actually. Not many Journalists, from videos I have seen, have actually noted or said much about this characteristic of the EcoBoost Stang.
I owned a low mileage Sierra Cosworth over here in Australia. Most exciting car I've ever owned. Used to take forever to come on boost but once it did the rear would squat and the power would just keep coming
Loved the XR4ti. I had one brand new from 1985 to 1988. At the time it was extremely fast compared to most other options in the market. Especially for the price they sold for. Handling was fantastic, it was a very nimble car and a blast to drive in the mountains.
@@richardclark1077 Sad they didn't catch on over here. They were built right up into the late 90's or so in England. Over there they were called a Sierra. I see a lot of them when I was over there visiting my wife's family and friends a few times.
I currently own an S197 GT convertible but I rented a new ecoboost convertible last week, and I was really impressed with it. It would make a great daily driver. As a former 1987 hatchback owner, I agree with you that it should be a hatchback. The Twister Orange looks great! Exhaust sounds like crap, but I agree that it is a great drivetrain in it’s own right. Great review!
Hello from the uk great video I have a sierra cosworth and agree ford needs to bring back the cosworths my 30+ year old Sierra kills most modern day hot hatches and get more attention .. Mostly from the cops
Sierra was a family/executive saloon (in European standards) that was upgraded by Cosworth, because Ford needed a rally/BTCC car. Plus it was meant to be a competition car platform from the very beginning, hence the great weight distribution ratio - you only need to add more power. There actually was a smaller coupe equivalent of a Mustang in Europe called Capri. It was meant to be a smaller Mustang, they even developed a V4 (1.7l) engine for it. 2.3t would suit such a chassis like a charm! But unfortunately we live in a sh**ty SUV/crossover era, Ford is even pulling the plug for the whole Mondeo/Fusion project. Giving us rubbish crossovers instead, like Puma for instance. Cheers! Humble Sierra owner :)
For comparison. When I was in High School I owned a 1979 Mercury Capri GT that was equipped with the 5.0 V-8. It was rated at a whopping 140 HP. However, it's one saving grace was It was equipped with a liftback. Made for getting kegs in and out much easier.
You are absolutely right about the liftback!! They could bring back the Capri name. This one would do it justice unlike the Aussie convertible miss they tried with Mercury in the 90’s. Really enjoy your channel.
9:47 It makes sense, in that the 4-cylinder engine saves nearly 200lbs off the front wheels. And I'm pretty sure it comes with the same tread width as the front tires on a Mustang GT. So, compared to a GT, this car is much lighter on the contact patches that steer. And the whole rest of the suspension probably contributes. :)
Agreed on it feeling lighter. First time I took mine out to Jerome via the canyon run I realized where these cars shine. Tight corners and brutal acceleration afterwards.
@Sarah-n-Tuned I was car shopping, and found your scientific car review methods very informative, and entertaining! Just ordered a new eco-boost performance pack! You definitely helped me in the decision making process, thanks!
I’ve been watching reviews on the Mustang EcoBoost for about a month now and just came across your take on it. Sarah, your review was fun and to the point. All that info is on the inter-webs. Noice. Also, you’re the first one I’ve seen drive it like it’s meant to be driven. Great review. Nice to see a ladies perspective on this whip. You’re fun to watch.
A liftback would have been a great addition, but this is the Mustang we're talking about. It took Ford 60 years for the platform to integrate IRS, so they're not exactly forthcoming with sweeping changes to the pedigree!
As always excellent, fun, entertaining and educational review - thanks Sarah I love this car and colour. Reminds me of my childhood and my dad. I took my driving test in a Mustang twice.
I had a fully loaded 1st year 2015 Ecoboost premium with the performance package and cobb tune/intercooler, and ford racing CAI and it was a blast to drive. Nobody could believe it was a 4-cyl turbo. I loved it, until some dumb **** not paying attention ran red light and totaled it. I've often thought about replacing it, and the HPP with magnaride would be an obvious choice. The premium, with the active gauge cluster, and B&O Sound System is quite luxurious inside and the magnaride not only improves performance, but actually makes it ride smoother as well. Even at $46K, it's still a lot of bang for the buck.
Love the Sierra Cosworth reference, I had a Merkur XRT4 with the European Sierra Cosworth bodywork. This new Mustang 2.3 Turbo motor in an updated version of that car would be very interesting!
Sarah you hit on a key point to the advantage of the 2.3L EcoBoost. It is a more fun car to drive fast due to the better handling because of less engine weight up front. I would buy it over the V8 🤔 or would I??😏
If you think about it Sarah, this in a way is fords premimum engine choice. Yes the v8 is cream of the crop, but fully speced this thing is a little more than a GT and its def more than a standard ecoboost. But if you also think about it, this car is for a very specific crowd, the tuners crowd. Yes the ecoboost can be tuned as is, but this is more tuner friendly and has all the commodities that an enthusiast will love, like the higher reving for full power. The standard ecoboost I feel ford is selling to the average buyer who just wants the beauty of the mustang in an economical package, whereas this car is more designed for the ST or tuner folks and the v8 of course is reaching out to the muscle head guys. Personally, I think ford has a good idea with this one!
Nice review! I have a modified 2019 ecoboost performance pack. People say the V8 comment all the time until they take a ride in it. I also have had every body style and V8 mustang since 1972 up until the S550 and the ecoboost has been the most fun out of all of them. Modified they are ecobeasts.
MudRunner2005 do it! I would of loved a twin turbo kit but I live in buthole Saskatchewan and support for install Etc just isn’t close enough so I went to the Ford dealer and got the Roush
Ford had canceled using the Falcon name last year with a 5.0 4 door sedan, I would have preferred they have this name on the Mach E. Mustang should only have 2 doors always has in production. Millennials dethroned all past, present, and future Mustang's from the Muscle car category shared with the Challenger and Camaro. I have no problem with them using it chassis, or an all electric powered vehicle. 4 door variant removed the Mustang from Muscle car Status.
Here in Australia they ran the 2.0 Eco boost in the Aussie FG Falcons from 2009 to the FGX which finished production in 2017. Given the Falcon here was a large sedan the 4 banger went very well in a car designed to take a six & V8.
Yes in the 60's The 64 1/2 Mustang's were from the 1962 Falcon chassis. Incidentally, they should have called the Mach E the Falcon E, and not the Mustang or Mach E. There's a Mustang with 2 doors as it should be, called the Mustang Lithium all electric powered with a 6 speed manual transmission. It has 900 hp and 1,100 ft. Ibs. Torque.
Yes you make a great point about the Sierra, a modern north/south facing engine with AWD in a modern compact coupe would smash the market. Plus here in Australia it's illegal for provisional drivers (17-24yr olds) to drive turbo/v8/high performance cars (most light cars with over 220kw) So it's going to be a giant flop, that being said the young ones buying 86s etc couldn't get it anyway. Plus the GT is nearly 80k here and the Ecoboost is nearly 70k......
Nice colour. Great idea to turn the trunk into a hatch. Agree the nice engine is in the wrong car. Mustangs are muscle cars so it doesn't make much sense without a V8. Your review as always is that good! Thanks.
Done muscle....done import....done ponycars....done performance trucks (!)....love your reviews....love that this Mustang is an outlier....as an English ex-pat....I love that a mustang has embraced turbo power and handling of my beloved Cosworth...SVO.....I like this as an underdog....clearly this impressed you as well...we are legion.
I like your idea and agree with what you say. A modern Ford Maverick that's a little smaller and lighter than the Mustang with this drive train would be great. I had a lift back in my 83 Mustang GT. It rattled a bit but had a huge opening for hauling stuff.
I love your reviews. This one didn't disappoint. I love how your hair fly's forward when you get on the brakes. lol I agree with the trunk lid too...should take it up farther
From the wheels on your tester, this car didn't have the handling package which includes magna ride. It would have made a big difference in daily driving comfort as well as sharpening sport driving.
Hi Sarah, always a pleasure to see you, and glad you are honest with the critiques you have on Ford Mustang's. Now the breaks are not plaited or painted for a reason. The paint acts as a blanket parenting the calipers from staying and generating heat to the rotors or it's surrounding areas. Hot calipers equals hot break pad transferring heat to the rotors. GT500 2020 has front active panels below headlights, which open during hard breaking in an angle for more down force up front. As well as allow air thru channels to the front and rear breaking systems to cool them. Ford has a patent on these. Once again always a delight to see a beautiful girl who drive fast as well as work on cars. That makes you the sexiest girl on TH-cam been watching since Mr.2 last year. Hopefully, you achieve all of your goals and friends loving friendships
It would be surely more practical, but also even less Mustangy, i have feeling people would go nuts about making classic Mustang body into 2 door hatch
The other car ,idea you mentioned, should be a hypo Pinto front engine rear wheel drive New Car. Another Superb edit , it's easy to sit and watch this from start to finish. It's so smooth ,most don't understand ,the EDIT made it so enjoyable.
First time I've seen the channel. Lab coat was a nice touch. I couldn't bring myself to own a 4 pot mustang unless i had the GT in the garage and was looking for a 4cyl daily. For economy, they make sense. Sporty and economical.
The Twister Orange paint is a tribute to the 1968 Twister Special Mustang and Torino models built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant, which is in tornado alley.
Liftback would be cool, but I bet they didn't solely for the crash rigidity. Looks like they could do with a stripper variant, delete option on the radio, back seat, carpets, knickers,.. swap to a lighter flywheel, sequential shift, vinyl mats and 4.0 Barra. Heck, looking at all that engine bay space, it looks like the design may have been aimed at using the Barra from the get go. The FoMoCo Brand name for a sub-Mustang sized RWD performance vehicle, would be the UK version of the Capri, or a two-door version of the TE Cortina we had Downunder.
You nailed it Sarah. That drive train should be in a slightly smaller footprint...let's say a Capri. Remember that car? Of course you don't. One of my first cars with a little 4 banger. It would be the top of the line option in the new Capri and would sell like hotcakes.
Gal you are funny as hell...great attitude....keep it up.....Mustangs don't need radios your right, the majority of people that drive them have issues of wrecking and plowing through crowds.
I drove the convertible ecoboost as a rental recently. Premium version without the high performance pack. It has a surprising amount of power for such a small engine. I only had two gripes: 1) steering is way too heavy in "comfort" mode; and 2) the car needs a front proximity warning or camera. It's all too easy to f*** up the front splitter when parking, as I found out to my chagrin.
I've been a fan of the Mustang ever since I was a kid. I never owned one (I had a 1971 Cutlass), but I've rented many over the years. But I agree with that I would need the V8. Ford shouldn't have an "economy" Mustang. They need to make this a different car with a slightly different body style. Maybe call it a "Colt" or something.
I have had Mustangs with hatchbacks. Love them but they rattle. 1976. 1979. 1986. 1989 All hatchbacks 2005. 2008. 2014. Current stable. Get yourself a Mustang! They are fun!
For us that own them, the phase was coined as " all the power all the time". The engine is in another Ford. The GT. Of course it's mid engine and you can't buy one. But the roots are there. I get 34 mpg on the highway.
Excellent Sarah! Your car review videos have transitioned into this very comfortable excellence. IMO, you just hit 5 beans! Don't change a thing. Thank You
Its a modern Mustang SVO and a fun car to drive! When I first drove one, it reminded me of my 93 240sx with the SR20 in it. I almost bought a Ecoboost Mustang a few years ago, instead bought a IS300. Love your videos! Keep it up!
You are excellent you do everything right off the top of your head don't change a thing that is something it makes you unique in the middle of all this crap you are a breath of fresh air. Thank you Sarah for being i in tune
I feel the same about fastback w/trunk issue... and I feel it over older model Mustangs, and the A-body based Barracuda. And the Space Duster and Maverick, as well.
@arni0202 there's 2 kind of HPP options. One has Magna Ride and the other one has just the performance package with no Magna Ride. The model with the Handling Package will also come with a better looking set of wheels as well.
I have the 2020 2.3L hpp premium. And I get mad love from 5.0 owners because this car is the whole package. And most of this 5.0 out here are base models. 60k for a 5.0 prenium with this hip has. Except engine. usually the people saying why didn't u buy a v8. Is the people that don't have a stang drive a truck or Honda.

Yeah, actually the EB is more balanced to drive. But I ended up doing the same thing. Worth it just for getting rid of the comments alone.

Needs to have the 3.5 EB from the Raptor.
Those comments make it easy to figure out who to not be friends with though
A full sport back opening hatch would be very functional, and look cool too!
Agreed, if they just refreshed the S550 with a rear hatch instead of making a whole new body I would be all down for ti.
Yep, like the old SVO
Ford should put that motor in a new Maverick. Body the size of a BRZ, rear wheel drive, manual transmission.
I would like to see it in a 2020 rendition of a Pinto. Yes, it was an econobox and it had bad press but it was small, light weight and to some, like me, actually looked pretty good.
The Maverick made for a good pro and super stock in its day:)
My sister had a 71 Maverick Grabber with the 302 V8
and it would haul buns!
I was just going to comment exactly what you did.
Bring back the Probe n put the drivetrain in it 🤘
Best U turn I've seen in a while.

In Australia that’s similar to the base model we get in the Mustang range...same wheels, lip spoiler, etc, active exhaust, and everything else, including the full digital dash and large touch screen.

I’ll let myself out
Sierra was a family/executive saloon (in European standards) that was upgraded by Cosworth, because Ford needed a rally/BTCC car. Plus it was meant to be a competition car platform from the very beginning, hence the great weight distribution ratio - you only need to add more power. There actually was a smaller coupe equivalent of a Mustang in Europe called Capri.

Another Superb edit , it's easy to sit and watch this from start to finish. It's so smooth ,most don't understand ,the EDIT made it so enjoyable.
First time I've seen the channel. Lab coat was a nice touch.
I couldn't bring myself to own a 4 pot mustang unless i had the GT in the garage and was looking for a 4cyl daily. For economy, they make sense. Sporty and economical.
Great review, and love Professor Sarah's Cat Eyed glasses!
The Twister Orange paint is a tribute to the 1968 Twister Special Mustang and Torino models built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant, which is in tornado alley.
Awesome review! You've opened my eyes to the 4cyl. version of the Mustang, and I'm really impressed! Thank you so much, Sarah!
I have a v8 and drove a 2.3 and it did RIP and quickly. Thanks for the channel love the hell out of your character and you look bad ass to😁
Looks like you are feeling better. Great work as always.
Liftback would be cool, but I bet they didn't solely for the crash rigidity.
Looks like they could do with a stripper variant, delete option on the radio, back seat, carpets, knickers,.. swap to a lighter flywheel, sequential shift, vinyl mats and 4.0 Barra.
Heck, looking at all that engine bay space, it looks like the design may have been aimed at using the Barra from the get go.
The FoMoCo Brand name for a sub-Mustang sized RWD performance vehicle, would be the UK version of the Capri, or a two-door version of the TE Cortina we had Downunder.
Thank you Sarah i love your reviews they are never boring i could watch your videos everyday
I absolutely love your sense of humor.
You nailed it Sarah. That drive train should be in a slightly smaller footprint...let's say a Capri. Remember that car? Of course you don't. One of my first cars with a little 4 banger. It would be the top of the line option in the new Capri and would sell like hotcakes.
Gal you are funny as hell...great attitude....keep it up.....Mustangs don't need radios your right, the majority of people that drive them have issues of wrecking and plowing through crowds.
I drove the convertible ecoboost as a rental recently. Premium version without the high performance pack. It has a surprising amount of power for such a small engine. I only had two gripes: 1) steering is way too heavy in "comfort" mode; and 2) the car needs a front proximity warning or camera. It's all too easy to f*** up the front splitter when parking, as I found out to my chagrin.
You hit this review bang on, my wife has the upscale version of this car and it's pretty awesome. The car is great for a cheap car.
Amazing review I’ve been looking for this everywhere. Thanks so much.
What a great video! I’m literally buying the HPP 2020 Exoboost in about a mouth. And your video has truly sealed the deal for me
J Gabriel R hopefully you got the handling package as well
I've been a fan of the Mustang ever since I was a kid. I never owned one (I had a 1971 Cutlass), but I've rented many over the years. But I agree with that I would need the V8. Ford shouldn't have an "economy" Mustang. They need to make this a different car with a slightly different body style. Maybe call it a "Colt" or something.
I have had Mustangs with hatchbacks. Love them but they rattle. 1976. 1979. 1986. 1989
All hatchbacks
2005. 2008. 2014. Current stable.
Get yourself a Mustang! They are fun!
I had 69 Chevelle. 70 Chevelle. And a 72 Monte Carlo too. Loved Cutlass 442 but never hot one.
You're definitely enjoying what you do. Keep up the great work!!
For us that own them, the phase was coined as " all the power all the time". The engine is in another Ford. The GT. Of course it's mid engine and you can't buy one. But the roots are there. I get 34 mpg on the highway.
Excellent Sarah! Your car review videos have transitioned into this very comfortable excellence. IMO, you just hit 5 beans! Don't change a thing. Thank You
OMG OMG THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS REVIEW.
I've been looking forward to this ecoboost coming out!
Finally got mine! Magnetic Metallic HPP with Handling Package.
What are your thoughts so far!?
"This thing RIPS" new T shirt ;)
Its a modern Mustang SVO and a fun car to drive! When I first drove one, it reminded me of my 93 240sx with the SR20 in it. I almost bought a Ecoboost Mustang a few years ago, instead bought a IS300. Love your videos! Keep it up!
Lift back would be cool...Like my 1981Celica GT !
Completely agree on your closing thoughts, Sarah.
You are excellent you do everything right off the top of your head don't change a thing that is something it makes you unique in the middle of all this crap you are a breath of fresh air. Thank you Sarah for being i in tune
I have a 2011 3.7 liter and I agree the fastback should be a liftback. The trunk is ridiculously small. I also like the orange.
WHAT! 3 Cookies and 3 Penguins! I am impressed........
I'm glad you got to review the HPP. I wish it was a hatchback too! I have a '17 S550 Ecoboost too. :)
I feel the same about fastback w/trunk issue... and I feel it over older model Mustangs, and the A-body based Barracuda. And the Space Duster and Maverick, as well.
My HPP EcoBoost plaque chassis number is L0009. I think I must of gotten the car that you've just reviewed in your video there.
don't the hpp have magna-ride? or maybe it was still a separate option
@arni0202 there's 2 kind of HPP options. One has Magna Ride and the other one has just the performance package with no Magna Ride. The model with the Handling Package will also come with a better looking set of wheels as well.
Great review Sarah..I just put the 2020 Mustang EcoBoost on my list to check out!
not the wardrobe malfunction I was hoping for lol . yet another fantastic review by penguin Sarah !
I'm impressed with your knowledge of the Sierra and the reference to the xr4i etc lol
LOVE the Orange and Black...
Enjoyed this review ,brought a smile to my face !!
Outro makes perfect sense to me, couldn't agree more.
6:11 that's how im looking at girls - when they walking in front of me
Twister orange came from the 1970 Twister Mach 1 Mustang, Built in Kansas.
I agree with your rear wheel drive 4 cylinder Ford stance
Ford! are you lisening??????
Great job on the review.
Sarah I agree that a lift back would be cool!
Wow, I think this is the first time I've heard someone praise the MT82!
Nice work Sarah!
Not sure how I just found this review in 8/23....but I totally miss "Abandoned Warehouse Sarah"!!
Hey Sarah, I luv all your reviews, specially your gorgeous face and the different expressions that you make ufff😍
I have the 2020 2.3L hpp premium. And I get mad love from 5.0 owners because this car is the whole package. And most of this 5.0 out here are base models. 60k for a 5.0 prenium with this hip has. Except engine. usually the people saying why didn't u buy a v8. Is the people that don't have a stang drive a truck or Honda.
