    I've never understood the logic of buying a base model performance car and then spending a ton of money in upgrades to improve the power and appearance. Why not spend the money upfront and get a higher trim that actually comes equipped with better performance and styling?

      Agree to disagree; I actually owned a 2014, and was disappointed by the 2015-2017 front end. The rest of the car was nice, but I think it actually looked more like a Fusion than the current model. Whichever body style you prefer, you have to love the IRS, and the power/power potential of the ecoboost engine (not to mention the mileage when you’re not putting your foot in it).

      Viren vs and probably more powerful than the current 4-cylinder. Who cares about cylinder car? If it’s powerful, has good mpg, and still looks good, there’s no reason to care (unless you have to compensate for something or are a professional driver). Plus gas prices will be way up in 2025, so have fun with your v8 getting no mpg.

    • @googleit1131
      @googleit1131 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    There's no disputing the impressive power & performance you can get from a turbo 4 cyl., but every Ford model equipped with Ecoboost has proven to be less reliable than their counterparts, based on the data from Consumer Reports, your partners.

    • @therealjohnsmith4811
      @therealjohnsmith4811 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      cadsux completely untrue. The bulk of Ford sales are ecoboost and this year Ford is ahead of Chevy and all of Chrysler in reliability.

    • @cadsux
      @cadsux 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sorry, when I said counterparts, I meant the "non-turbo" models in the Ford lineup. The old Duratec turbos were no exception. The bulk of overseas sales is the GT. Ironic, since the turbo was meant for them. Yes, Ford is overall better in reliability, but the Camaro is more reliable than the Mustang.

    • @MrTyronecoe

    one question that would help me a lot. Did you/anyone observe that the 2015-2016 has a serious AC problem ? Mine started to loose it after 40000km and I somehow associate it with a period in which I had used the re-circulate option. ( btw one freon refill is about 220 in EU, which is not cheap )

    Horsepower and torque gains are poppycock, AutoGuide. However, if Craig Cole (the greatest reviewer ever) says so, then according to the laws of physics it must be true.

      I think you should research what torque is and how it's measured, you sound like an amateur with this "pound feet" nonsense.

    • @shadow7037932
      @shadow7037932 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The aftermarket tunes from COBB and such have been put through the paces on many dyno runs. You can easily get the kind of torque and power out of the Ford Performance tune as well. Quite easy to get some extra power when there's a turbo on tap to push up the boost just a little bit with a tune.

    Low end torque is where the fun is. Ya gotta go with the 5.0

    • @E52O4
      @E52O4 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Low end torque is better in a stock ecoboost than a stock GT. You must mean top end, where the V8 engines will always beat out any stock I4 or V6. The reason why someone would prefer the turbo over NA is the torque is available much sooner (lower rpms) than with a NA.

    Insurance for a current Mustang GT isn't bad at all. I pay $500 to $600 per year for 100k/300k limits. That's cheaper than the Mazda crossover I replaced. A Subaru WRX would have costed me an additional $700 per year. I'm in my 40s and live in the congested San Francisco peninsula.

      @jamesnorman893 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I bought an Eco and put a ROUSH kit on it bringing it up to 370hp. The reason... I am involved in the Mustang community and show my car cruises etc... After selling my 66 and 05 GT convertible I decided on a new pony. I figured everyone would go out for the GT/V8 or Shelby, Saleen Roush...those that just wanted a Mustang would probably get a V6. I wanted something different. So far I have been the only, or one of just a few Ecos at the shows and cruises I've been to. The car is super quick and extremely light and nimble in the twisty back roads. Yes, I miss the sound of the V8s, but I feel I made a great decision.

    • @jessaphillips2846
      @jessaphillips2846 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    @benhaze1010 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nope I still would not think twice about getting the V8 and would buy a used one before buying a new 4 cyl. You don't have to drive hard any V8 to truly enjoy it: gee just listening to the engine idling is absolutely trilling. And if you have an auto you can get goose bumps remote starting it as walking toward it you can appreciate already you drive something so special. No need to mention how much more special it is to drive a V8 hard than a 4 cyl.
    I am not saying all 4 cyl. are bad. It is just that I would look at a hot hatch before considering buying a mildly hot mustang ecoboost.

I was pleasantly surprised by the very fun to use torque and more than capable handling in a good looking package that put a smile on my face and at 25,000 bucks for the premium there was no way I was going to pass up that deal. I have a 2004 GT and other than the sweet V8 sound my EcoBoost beats it in every category. Ford has done an outstanding job on the EcoBoost. Don't sleep on it like I did.

      Because the Ecoboost is a much better car than the GT. Ecoboost is probably top 5 best daily cars of the 21st century, probably the best after 2015 for sure.

    that's 320 pound foot of torque!
    why don't you know how torque is measured??
    you wouldn't say "horses power" so why say "pound feet"?
    torque is measured by putting a weight on a bar at the length of one foot from the centre of the wheel, not feet, feet makes no sense at all.
    A car guy would and should know this.

    Why would you waste a dime putting any extra money into this car with an automatic. Even if it had the 10-speed still a waste of money if you know how to drive get a manual that's what this car should have. If you need an automatic you should buy something else

    You can't install the parts yourself? Worthless.
