Ford Mustang Ecoboost - Honest Owner Review After 2 Years

In this video I would like to share with you my honest owner review of Ford Mustang Ecoboost Premium 2015. I will cover my overall experience with buying and owning Ford Mustang 2.3, mods that I did to this car (including Roush CAI and Cobb), problems and "Check Engines" that I had with this car (including Fuel Pressure Sensor, EVAP and actuator) and how it drives now! Is 4 cylinder Ford Mustang better than Ford Mustang GT 5.0, or is it just an Ecoboom?

Nice car. You make sense saying it's more practical to have an ecoboost than a GT if it's your only car and daily driver. For me I like the sound of the V8 engine. I have a 08 Bullitt but it's my weekend warrior and not a daily driver. I'm also impressed to see one in the Ukraine. Mustangs sure get around. Oh and hello from Canada 🙂

[@4bunin]

Thank you for the comment! I absolutely love the real V8, and any EcoBoost will not be able to compete with that!

[@Razvan528]

we have tons of mustangs in romania aswell many V8 s too but to own a V8 here is expensive af annual taxes on a v8 5.0 is 2K euro =))

[@rogerredford6242]

I had a 2015 Eco-Boost, kept up with all regular service, and never had a major issue. Great handling car, typical Mustang and fast enough for anyone. If I could, I would buy the new 2023

I feel the same about the V6 version. Awesome for the money and fast enough for all around driving with 300hp.

I had eco boost I straight piped it put a carbon fiber hood on it and drove it as hard as I could for two years it was an awesome car. And then I went and bought a GT🔥🔥🔥

[@4bunin]

Sounds like a career path to me :D

[@connorz3802]

how do i straight pipe mine, where did u buy it

[@1gonzo324]

I went to an exhaust shop they did a muffler delete . axle back exhaust system they have different options at American muscle. The initial muffler delete is pretty easy makes the car a lot louder and breathe better. I felt that you could really hear the turbo more as well

[@FunkyBananaBear]

Best thing about the Ecoboost is how fast you can be while staying relatively silent. GT owners get heard by a cop blocks away lol

[@bigmacmach1185]

If gas mileage is a big concern, It makes sense. At least they make all the mustang models look good now as opposed to previous generations where the less than gt models looked cheap. But if mileage isn't as big of a concern, cant beat the gt or higher for value. Nice detailed honest video.

[@4bunin]

Thanks!

[@tatsuhirosatou5513]

Honestly the mpg isn't different enough to make a huge difference, I actually get better mpg in my GT average 19.7mpg

[@Olievlog]

Thanks man for the video I have been wanting to buy one but I was worried it will be like Maserati😅 now I bought 2023 mustang eco-boost premium

[@Anon1mous]

I own a 2020 Eco Premium. Averaging 26-27 miles per gallon on mainly freeway driving at 80-85 MPH on cruise control. Plenty of power for me. I'm always impressed at quickly it responds when i step on the gas and how it handles the curves getting on and off the freeway. I considered a GT but it would have been a near base model and my commute to work is 35 miles each way so gas would have been an issue. Maintenance is also a big key. With the turbo, the oil needs to be changed every 5000 miles max with premium synthetic oil. Yes, the trunk was also surprisingly big for a coupe. Mine has 13,000 miles and so far no problems or trips to the dealer for repair.

[@4bunin]

I'm not sure if you have a Cobb for your Mustang. If not, get it and set it to Stage 1. The pedal response will change dramatically! I'm not sure GT is really for commuting, mostly because of the sound. However, it's not that bad in terms of MPG as everyone thinks. Depends on your driving style of course :)

[@silvertbird1]

Hello, fellow 2020 Ecoboost premium owner. Sounds like we had the same experience, I went out expecting to buy a GT but it was April 2021 and the dealer had two 2020s on the lot, significantly discounted. One was silver, the color I wanted, and had a few options including adaptive exhaust, and I like the look of the four pipes. It’s a great daily driver, and I also just hit 12K miles. I’ve taken it on a few 600 mile round-trip through the Texas hill country and on the back roads averaging 80 mph it gave me about 29 MPG. I’m considering the Ford performance tune because I don’t think it voids the warranty. I hope you’re enjoying your Pony! What color is it?

[@tatsuhirosatou5513]

Gas isn't an issue my GT gets 24mgp on the freeway but yeah it's worth it to stay at the ecoboost to get a premium.

[@fortheloveofnoise9298]

[@silvertbird1]

I really enjoyed your video. Maybe someday you can get a later model, it’s my understanding Ford improved a few things around 2019. I have a 2020 Ecoboost premium, have had it about a year and a half, driven 13,000 miles, and it’s been great so far. Now I am concerned about you in Ukraine, I hope you and your family are well. Do you see many other Ponies as you drive around Europe? I wonder how many are over there. I’ve seen videos of Mustangs in Germany and Italy. I know summer made for the European market because the language display is different. Your English is perfect, so an American Mustang seems fine for you.

[@4bunin]

Ha! Thanks! Yeah, the situation is kind of crazy. Everyone I care about are safe as of right now. Overall in Europe people still react to Mustangs as of some exotic car. Ecoboosts are not really popular in wealthy European countries, but Ukraine loves them.

[@Vexown]

I think I've seen your car parked on the street that I live on in Lodz, Poland! What a coincidence :) It's looks even better in real life. It scared me one time when I was walking next to it and it started on it's own haha Does it have remote start or something?

[@4bunin]

Haha! I sold it, and they guy who bought it from me was from Lodz I think! So, yeah, it could be my baby :D

[@ZassChannel]

New owner right here, lol 🤣

[@thugsy15]

I just hit 36 mpg driving interstate. This is a fun car if you want it to be fun and can be a tame one too.

[@4bunin]

True!

[@FunkyBananaBear]

I have a 2020 Ecoboost Premium, I drove it from Indiana to Wisconsin when i bought it, and hit a max MPG of 40! I was REALLY using momentum of hills on the highway haha

[@tonyenglish5153]

Ford should've stuck with the V6 and even a V6 eco boost. Have no idea why they came off the V6 Cyclone as they're getting very rare and one of the best engines ever made for Mustang! Many mods for V6 that really improve performance and gas efficiency. Great video.

[@ST_DCT]

They wanted to sell GTs, the V6 option with slight mods will give comparable performance, Ford is not about pleasing us as consumers, it's about the almighty dollar, they wanted definitive tier levels and they achieved that. They know what they have and they know what will sell.

[@MyMotherTheCar]

The biggest problem I have with mine is that it's almost impossible to tell where the front end is when parking. I keep having to replace the front spoiler lip because it sticks out further than it looks like it should from behind the wheel. It needs a front mounted camera BADLY. Other than that I'm very happy with it.

[@4bunin]

For that specific reason me and my wife ALWAYS parked backwards! The tail of the car is so short and easy to park with that it compensates for the front. AND people on the parking lot can fully appreciate the look of the front :)

[@MyMotherTheCar]

@@4bunin That's what I do most of the time now too, when it's possible. I hear there's a sensor you can buy that will buzz when you're too close to a curb. I might spring for that.

[@PatrickDammar-yk1ff]

You must suck at driving

[@alejandroortega3842]

The exhaust 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 did you mod it or it’s default? I’m looking into my first car being an eco boost premium and I like that exhaust from your car

[@4bunin]

Previous owner removed mufflers. That's the only mod as far as I know.

[@benitotorres8757]

QueStion how much did you get it for since it is salvage ?

[@123mustangone]

What is that AC actuator that you mentioned? Can you explain more what that is? 15:14

[@cshe92]

I’ve had a V6 and I have a GT. I loved them both. I enjoy the GT more, but that doesn’t mean the V6 didn’t have its merits. Ultimately, we get what we can afford and what works for us. I would much rather have a Shelby Cobra, but I can’t afford it lol. My point is enjoy what you have, enjoy what works for you.

[@dnalor8753]

can't wait to get a new 2022 end of this year

[@4bunin]

IT'S SICK! I want to test drive it so hard!

[@thrwbackyoungn]

Great car if it stays stock. the engine comes with as much power it can hold safely with 20lbs of boost but the 3.7 mustang has more top end and power potential.

[@4bunin]

I heard about ecoboom Mustangs that were moded too much, but never seen one, and I've seen some 500+ HP ones.

[@ds-js6545]

Thinking about getting Ford 2024 model and this is my first car. And I’m just struggling to choose between GT and EB

[@4bunin]

If it’s a daily, I probably wouldn’t go with GT.

[@gameflow4014]

@@4bunin thanks! Absolut beginner here 🙂

[@Jwick-xu8cz]

If you have never driven a sports car you need to buy an ecoboost. If you always wondered why Mustangs are notorious for crashing all the time is because a GT is a power house. If you wanna learn how to drive a potent car get the eco! The eco is fast! Sounds nice! Looks amazing. And is cheap to drive and maintain! Once you get a GT you will 80% crash it. It is too much car for many of yall. Start small then go big.

[@appleiphone69]

I have a 2019 GT convertible and with the top up I get 24-26 MPG.

[@4bunin]

Really! That's nice!

[@troylong8489]

Very nice video! What is your exhaust setup?

[@4bunin]

Hey! Thanks! I didn’t make any changes. As I understand previous owner just removed resonators. Roush CAI actually did a lot of the sound changes because now it gets more air in and can throw more air out.

[@jeremyswalley8625]

Big question is why did the Fusion get a twin turbo v6 and the Mustang got a 4 cylinder

[@4bunin]

Mustangs are selling even with a worse engines. Seems like they needed to upgrade the Fusion package to sell it better.

[@CptLang97]

Because Ecoboost V6 in a mustang would eat into the gt sales

[@fortheloveofnoise9298]

​@@CptLang97 You know too much!!!!! I wish the Mustang got the engine options the F150 had

[@NunYaBeezWax80]

i have owned mine since 2015 and i got bored of it fast. I rather buy A Accord Sport than this because they are they same speed but the Accord has 2 more doors. The only thing that I love about my car is how it looks. I always look back at it after I park it. Complimented often about how it looks a few times a weeks.

[@4bunin]

That's what I loved my Mustang!

[@FrankishKnight]

previous Generation is not that bad, what made the previous generations dangerous was open diff, made them unpredictable so they spun out. the 2010-2014 is just as good and it has solid rear axle with limited slip diff. 2014 Gt cost same as 2015 eco mustang and I honestly prefer the looks of 2014 mustang.

[@4bunin]

Yeah, that makes sense. I would also go for a prev gen, but GT.

[@fortheloveofnoise9298]

3:46 I disagree. This is why I don't like the 6th gen. I like the solid rear axle...that is what makes a muscle car a muscle car...people think it's just the looks....but a solid rear axle is the magic sauce. I would never buy a Mustang without a solid rear axle, but if I did ...I would convert it to one.

[@4bunin]

The problem that in the wrong hands they are really dangerous. And at the time my hands weren't good enough. I didn't have any accidents with it though :)

[@fortheloveofnoise9298]

fun fact...before they discontinued it, the V6 could get the same...and sometimes better MPG than that 4 banger

[@4bunin]

The V6 definitely didn't receive enough appreciation.

[@fortheloveofnoise9298]

My Mustang has 130-250k miles on it. (not sure how many since odometer does not work)

[@thepianoman588]

Would love the music a little more quiet

[@selfoblivionalex6262]

Most GT owners don't daily drive their cars since they have another daily driver.

That's true. I know people that do that, but usually they're single :D

[@lockheedload]

[@danielservin]

Lmao says who. S550s literally one the most daily friendly especially with the 10spd. See a ton of GTs out

[@spraga79]

Mustangs there tuff

[@fortheloveofnoise9298]

1:30 Wrong...this is a "non American" perspective. As an American, people who like different sporty cars have different tastes....you may be someone who likes small and nimble, so you would look at Mazda Miata, Toyora MR2, Honda S2000, maybe Porsche Cayman or the like....then you have other stuff...and of the other stuff one is people who like Muscle/Pony cars....there are many people who cross shop the Ford Mustang with the Chevrolet Camaro, and even the Dodge Challenger. There are also people who like all of the types of sporty cars....I can speak from experience, even though I am only 28 I have had 2 Mustangs, a Camaro, a Miata, a MR2 Spyder, a 1972 Pontiac Grand Prix...and even a truck.

[@4bunin]

I always thought about Mustangs as an Idea. They were always presented in the movies better than other cars (or maybe I'm super biased). This is why I think that if you wanted Mustang as a kid you shouldn't really compare it to the other cars in the same budget, but rather just buy it.
