Eco boost engine is fine and a 4 cylinder can easily accommodate 100hp each. It’s a great engine and fast enough for most peeps too. Obviously it’s not going to sound as good as a V8 and many peeps still regard any mustang that’s not a 5.0 litre as sacrilege.

[@bandyboi3032]

I don’t mind the eco boost! It’s nowhere near as cool at the V8 but it’s still a fun car to zip around in. If it’s the convertible version then it’s a hoot during fall/spring. It’s not hard on the wallet, it’s plenty fast for daily use, fun to drift around. I’ll give you the exhaust though, it does not sound amazing. It sounds like a hot hatch honestly. But it’s still definitely fun if you want something newer for less money. If you’re willing to go a bit older you can for sure get an 8 year old, lower mileage GT for the same money as a newer eco boost.

[@jag1963]

Interior varies based on package my recaros digital cluster and sync 3 with 9 speakers isn't boring at all. As for reliability it's been bulletproof for me but I also maintain my car. Bigger turbo pushing more torque than a stock GT and close to the wheel hp and 200lbs lighter it's a fun ass daily plus 25 average and 30 on the freeway. Exhaust sounds like a 4 cyl but turbo noises are dope.

[@michaelthompson1745]

Your first is BS because any research online shows there are TONS of ecoboost over 100k mikes with no faults. (like the one I own Second reason is wrong because there are 100% exhausts that sound good they just don't make it sound like a roaring V8. The reviewers that shit on the sound are the same ones who complement other 4 cylinder cars exhaust because that's the motor you expect to be in the chassis. Perfect example is the brz. Almost never hear a u negativity about the 4 cylinder exaustbut if that SAME sound came out of a mustang people would hate because its not what they're use to hearing. Third reason is also super wrong because you chose the base interior. I'm not telling you to not buy ANY f150 because the interior is shit when I reviewed an XL instead of a limited I've never seen you before but this review is a back to back to back bad takes. I mean the only reasonable one is the exhaust but even that I totally disagree with and the only reason I'm not as worried about that is because that's such an opinionated topic 2 people are almost never going to agree.

Im not even a mustang fan, but the coyote is a great powerful motor. No reason to NOT get the 5.0 if youre in this market.

[@znet7545]

There’s actually a really good reason to not get the coyote. That reason is the cost of the car and insurance. It’s one thing to get the car it’s another thing to insure it. Most people looking at these are very young including me. I’m an 18 year old male and with just about every insurance I’ve gone to it’s between 400-800 per month. That’s more than most car payments it’s honestly not worth it,and the highest I’ve seen so far on an ecoboost is 200 a month. Don’t get me wrong that’s still expensive but it’s a lot better than paying for the price of a V8. I also don’t need all of that power there’s no need to drive your cars super hard because in the long run you are damaging them. Yes I understand that’s the point of a mustang to abuse it but a lot of people don’t see that they don’t have the money for repairs. That’s why I believe the ecoboost is a great option because it’s not painfully slow and you can still do everything a 5.0 does just not as quickly.

[@Hopelessthugg]

@znet7545 ur right to an extent. In ur situation u should not own one. Insurance at ur age is high no matter what. I was paying 200+ for a hyundai sonata. As you keep Insurance, good record, and age up, it significantly drops. My heavily built camaro is only 75 a month full coverage. Only drive what u can afford, and only drive to your own limits. Learn slowly and responsibly. 18 is too young for more than 300 wheel horse tops.

[@Lucidilluminate]

Maybe not get a v8 because someone doesn't want one? When I got my first wco I bought just to see how much power I could get. Then I got a gt. And now I have another eco because I love the car. Easy to mod and fun to throw around. Not everyone cares about a v8.

[@Hopelessthugg]

@@Lucidilluminate well MOST people who want a muscle car want the v8. But it's not really about a v8 in general, it's just that the coyote is an exceptional NA V8. Better motor than the eco. If I was I'm the market for a mustang I'd go that route. With my s4 I chose the v6 supercharged over the v8, so ya it's not always about a v8.

[@Lucidilluminate]

@@Hopelessthugg I mean I have both. Yea sure the coyote is better. I like the eco more tho. More fun to mod and test limits on. It comes down to personal preference or situation. I've always hated when people say if it's not a v8 it's not a muscle car, or that's not a mustang because it's an eco. I wish people would just respect other people's builds even if it's not their thing or what they like. These ecos make more hp than some of the dated v8 mustangs. Shouldn't those people be saying those aren't real mustangs? Or are they literally just mad about 8 cylinders versus 4? It's so confusing

The 2024 model has bigger screens, better interior while being 30k, and it is perfect for mods

[@AlwaysAiming]

I have a 21 Ecoboost premium and your opinions are not accurate at all. I did a muffler & res delete and sounds amazing. If I wanted a “different” sound I wouldn’t have got it. The screen is fine who cares about having a huge screen. It’s not that serious. Again if I wanted a huge screen I could have got something else. And it’s not going to have cylinder issues just because it’s a v4 lol. It’s called technological advancement buddy. This isn’t the same v4 from 1985.

[@GageTrue]

I have heard some bad things about those Eco boost engines to be fair, but mustangs have arguably the best looking interior out of the three American muscle cars, and you can get a bigger screen with a premium package

[@lordbluebaron2270]

I’m biased but I think the challenger got it

[@Boosted_aj]

@@lordbluebaron2270eh. Challenger v6 is like 10k more on average. Not worth. The R/T is almost 15-20k more in average. It’s why I went eco. I’ll trade for a GT stang later.

At least putting fake carbon fiber stickers everywhere makes the car weigh less. Exactly what Lotus founder Colin Chapman meant by "Simplify, then add lightness" 😂

"It's going to run into some issues." I love declarative statements with no examples

[@0326Vet]

How an engine runs is it bassicly beats the piss out of itself to move you forward, the more load on the cylinders the harder it beats itself meaning more wear and tear, however I would be far less worried about the pressure the cylinders is taking which will caise provls.later on but still way down the line and more so concerned with the strain on that small of an engine with the turbocharged ecoboost system, the turbocharger is gonna go before the engine and turbochargers was never made to be a common place car part that every car would have most people don't know how to properly maintain them or get the most miles out of them

[@skys8755]

NA 3.6s usually hit 300 or close to 300 the fact its turbocharged with only 300 says allot

[@Lucidilluminate]

It's 1.3 liters less... with a small turbo. These engines can put put upwards of 800hp if you do it right. They can push 500hp very easily with a few mods and a good tune.

[@NormalDan01]

u get what u pay for its an ecoboost after all

[@Jon-gs4qo]

Why TF did u buy it?

[@alangonzalez7437]

So why do you have an echoboost ?

[@toxicity6629]

You stated the most retarted reason at first the gr Corolla is a THREE CYLINDER are you following me? That can withstand 100hp per cylinder and comes with a drift mode so it can redline just fine. Idk why you'd think a mf 4 cylinder is gonna struggle with 310hp in 2024 come on man..

[@islandRT]

i would never buy one but man they are a ton of fun to drive

[@jrag1000]

Of course, it's like having high blood pressure.
