Is the 2020 Ford Mustang EcoBoost High Performance Package WORTH the PRICE?

[@CrackaSlapYa]

I LOVE my HPP/HP 2020 Magnetic Metallic. This video convinced me a few years ago and I finally snagged one a couple months ago. Found a garage kept one with only 5500 miles.

[@cadmando18]

This comparison actually just helped me make a decision on my new Ford Mustang EcoBoost HPP, and I'm very happy with the handling and power. I got the handling package which is a must, and the 6 speed manual which is very good. I can't wait to take it on a track day and play with some other cars. I have a feeling it's going to do Very well in the corners...

[@raulferro3998]

I really enjoy watching these F2F comparison videos, with these you don't even need to visit the dealership lol (unless you've already made up your mind and gonna purchase).

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks Raul for saying that! It really means a lot!

[@sirsancusxenon6950]

I think people who bash these high dollar ecoboost forget that a fully loaded gt can cost around 50 grand! A base model gt convertible is 43 (correct me if I'm wrong). The 12 inch display, leather interior, High Performance Package/Handling Package and all other amenities is a good price for 43! Considering with some additional parts and and tune your outperforming a GT. This is also a fully loaded HPP EcoBoost so you may be able to find some that are in the mid to high 30's minus some niceties.

[@RaitisRides]

Great points! I appreciate you sharing them!

[@bobbycalifornia7193]

Additional parts on an Ecoboost outperforming a standard GT? The trade-off is that these cars motor is unrefined and thrashy and you don't get great MPG. I had one for a week and it was awful. You can get a GT in the 30'd easily. Having driven the Ecoboost I would never pay outside of the 20s for that thing.

[@danieledisanto3291]

in my opinion its not the initial costs but the other costs that make the difference, gas and insurance can make a huge difference in ownership costs

[@darrell9616]

This was extremely well done, Joe. A spec sheet can only tell you so much and it's often hard to get a test drive that allows one to exercise the handling capabilities of a car. This comparison answered all of my questions about the two vehicles. Thanks.

[@LegendOfFatal]

Very good point at 17:25 , a lot of people zonk the price being more than base gt, but people dont think about how the base gt does not have magneride, 12 inch display, sound system upgrades and all the other goodies, not to mention v8 insurance and gas price costs!

[@OctaneStreet]

Man, I keep going back to the drawing board between 2018 gt or 2020 hpp ecoboost... I absolutely LOVE the front end of the HPP, really shows just how many differences their are versus a "normal" ecoboost when they're sitting side by side. Thanks for the Quality content like always, Joe!

[@ddm62571]

Peronally I would buy the HP ECO Mustang over the Mustang GT. Mainly because of the sound. I don't care for loud sounding V8's but I like power. I know, know. I'm in the minority on that one.

[@americantrucknation4891]

I like V8s, I’m thinking the ecoboost will be my first “muscle car” as a weekend racer, for burnouts and an overall project car. I’m 15, I can’t afford insurance on my truck, the other truck I’m getting this year and a GT mustang. I would love to though

Well done Joe! I don't know why I missed out on this EcoBoost with HPP when it first came out. I guess it was really due to V8 bias but honestly, the more I learn about this Mustang EcoBoost with the HPP the more impressed I am especially with that handling package and the fact Ford offers this in a 6 speed manual is the icing on the cake. I enjoy driving and not constant visits to the pump so this Mustang with 330+ horsepower, RWD, 6-speed manual, active exhaust and great MPGs is really getting my attention.

Despite my preference for a V-8, I like this HPP 4-Turbo. The only thing I don't like is the sound. My 2004 VW GTI 1.8T sounds a lot better inside and out. I don't expect a deep V8 rumble, but I would like the HPP to have a deeper, richer sound coming out of the exhaust tips. Otherwise, I really dig it.

Love the Colour on the more standard Mustang. Orange & Black have always been a great combination. In my part of the world silver is no big deal just what the dealers ordered because they are afraid of having to choose a colour. One salesman told me they order silver because it does not show dirt.

[@1madinjun]

I live in Florida and where I live the dealers try to discourage people from buying used GTs. My sister works at a dealership and told me how they inflate the prices and keep only a few on the lot because it gives people an option NOT to buy the EcoBoost. The EcoBoost is a tough sell and the dealers offer big incentives to get people into them. She said when lightly used GTs come in as trades they auction them instead of cleaning and selling them to not compete with Ecos. The used car stores like Carmax are where a lot of people go and buy used GTs because of the non inflated prices.

The orange one looks nice with the blackout trim, which I usually prefer, but the silver HPP version, it's so much nicer. Not cheap, but reasonable for everything it has, and the performance and handling, and for much less than a GT with the same equipment. I am trying to avoid turbos in general, but I know this is much more reliable than the Camaros or other GM cars now, and it should be good to go if you change the synthetic oil often, proper maintenance and care, and do thrash it.

Really surprised you would say that Joe! Base Mustang GT or an EcoBoost with top tier trim. I really, being an enthusiast, thought you would take the GT base over an upgraded EcoBoost. The HI PO Ecobooost is a great car. It really is. But if I’m buying a Mustang, I’m buying a Mustang. And that means GT and a big fat, loud V8. Otherwise, if I’m more concerned about a nicer interior in a 4 cylinder turbo over a 302 with 460 HP but with cloth seats… if that were the case, I’d buy a Focus RS, or a Golf R or even, dare I say, a WRX STI. Those a 4 cylinder turbos like the EcoBoost but they are smaller cars. Lighter cars. They were built with a 4 banger in mind. Very surprised to hear you would take a 4 cykinder ECOBOOST with an upgraded interior over a GT with the V8. To me, half the emotion from cars comes from the sound, growl of engine and exhaust note. And the Mustang has the best sound in the biz. I’m disappointed In your decision Joe Raiti

I like this car. I think Ford missed an opportunity to revive the SVO...this is going to be a niche in the Mustang world anyway (happens when your 5.0 is so beloved and GOOD!). They should give it a European flair, almost like a poor man's M3, in wheel style, do the NACA scoop on the hood to cool the engine as a nod to the 80's SVO, maybe a bi-plane spoiler on back...as you can tell, this is experiencing the same fate as the SVO did...people like it, but they don't love it, and love is what gets the buy these days. But keep this in mind...this HPP 4 cylinder Mustang would probably walk an LS6 454 Chevelle in the quarter mile. What a time to be a performance car fan!

I’m old and I remember the SVO Mustang I loved that car very European in styling and handling. However back then you could buy. 5.0 LX for a lot less money. While the 5.0 was faster in a straight line in the corners the SVO would walk away from it. Fords done a better job this time around I still believe that it needs at least 375hp to complete with the V8. Sure you can modify it but some would rather not have to do anything to it. Where I live I would buy the turbo myself keep the gearing tight and your always in the power band. Don’t forget the better mileage in the 2.3. I would buy a V8 if I lived somewhere out West where it could stretch its legs. While the 2.3 sounds better then last year I’m not impressed with it. Have to find something that has a deeper growl. Make mine a six speed please. Lastly the biggest thing to remember is 99.9% of people want a loaded car with all the toys. I priced one out online right at $40,000K .

I would love to be the first!

[@ravenstylea2]

Raiti's Rides you’d be the first to test it and I’ll get the 🍿

[@kreative_tik]

Can we get a 0-60 pull? I'm wondering if it lives up to 4.5 seconds

[@RaitisRides]

I will get that together for you!

[@4touchdowns1game29]

conditions must be perfect. And it's highly dependent on trans. The auto gets to 60 much faster because you don't have any shifting delay. The Ecoboost I rented that made me want one got to 60 faster consistently than my six speed GT but after that it got left in the dust. That's why I don't like the GT 500, yeah the auto performs better in the numbers game but lacks severely in smiles per gallon compared to the stick.

I bought a GT with performance pack level 1, automatic transmission and tech package for a total of 38500 in 2018. These ecoboost are amazingly expensive. 43k for ecoboost🤯😬

[@DragonKnightX12]

$43k I think is fully loaded with the 401A package and B&O system l. Once discounts roll it will be down under $40k.

[@v8monster186]

amazing as always

[@Gshekela]

I only buy EcoBoost high-performance package and Shelby gt 500. others are pointless for me

[@mathewpopkhadze5703]

awesome review the best video i’ve seen so yet

[@jackhamilton3705]

This is the one will buy.

[@Mc2K12Howie]

Again I ask. What’s the point of having a 2.3 high performance mustang?

[@RaitisRides]

For those that want more but not more cylinders.

[@mikeriv60]

You do realize Howard Mustangs always came with different engines other then a V8. 330 HP and 350 torque. Fine for me as most people will NEVER EVER get their V8 GT or GT350 on a track.

[@philiplatona3938]

thanks, great presentation !

[@RaitisRides]

Of course Philip!

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

Recommend staying away from all turbo engines, and buy either of the following: Naturally Aspirated (N/A) or Super Charger (Whipple) Buy a MUSTANG GT Performance Sports Package 2 Then add Super Charger, doing this you get the 6 Speed Manual Transmission, Brembo Breaks, and just as important Magneride Suspension. You'll get a lighter weight GT500 without the face of a Super Car. Consider it a sleeper GT

[@FlowJoYaKnow]

Are these EcoBoost Premiums or just EcoBoost? I ask because I like the digital dashboard and sync 3, which I reckon are only in the Premium trims.

[@richardromero2707]

Joe, the 4 cylinder Camry does it have plenty of power, or do you prefer the v6

[@jimmypena2442]

Richard Romero 200hp will do fine in the city, the car has plenty low end torque. In the highway it’ll have best in class fuel economy(40mpg I believe), and will have decent passing power.

[@RaitisRides]

I like the smoothness of the V6.

[@RaitisRides]

That is a great point Jimmy!

[@AntLive29]

these cars depreciate so badly honestly i wouldn't buy new. $43k is INSANE

[@JohnnyPersons]

In this video you say that the regular EcoBoost engine has a zero to sixty in about 5.2 seconds, is this correct?

[@RaitisRides]

yes

[@shane20114]

I have to decide between mustang gt and benz c300 or c200 What u recommend cheers
