Is the Ford Mustang ecoboost a good car ?

[ponyboy]

Mustangs all day everyday whether it's a ecoboos, t v6, 5.0, cobra, bullet etc

[boxingestilo.]

ive had an ecoboost for 3 years, its and excellent fun car, looks great from the outside just like all the other 5.0s will look and does great with gas which is much appreciated this whole past year with gas so high, especially the last 2 months with gas at damn near 5 dollars a gallon lol.

For better zero to sixty times, you should hold the RPMs at about 3, 500 at a stop before taking off. This will pre-boost the engine so you start with more power to the wheels.

I've noticed a big improvement in power and gas mileage using 93 octane over 91.

My Ecoboost Mustang has 115, 300 miles. It’s still pulling strong.

I have been debating on selling my wrx for an ecoboost. Definitely a bump in horsepower and the speed density tune of the mustang allows you to put a hks bov without blowing it up.

Thanks for the update! I bought a 2020 Ecoboost premium a few months ago so hoping mine ages as well as yours has.

I’ve been seeing a lot of ecoboost videos and after coming from a 2014 v6 mustang to my current 5.0 I think it would be fun to test out an ecoboost just to compare. I’m sure they feel a lot faster than the v6 I had because of the torque alone

I bought my 2015 used with 65k miles or so. I installed basic boltons, and am pro-tuned by Purple Drank Tuning on e30. I'm also running 20x9 Niche Vicenzas with Firehawk Indy 500s, and they hook pretty damn good! I had Nitto NT555 g2s on before and they were alright but it was spin city in 1st or 2nd so I'm surprised that the Firehawks are better so far. Anyways, I spun rod bearings in cyl 3 and 4 last year at 115k miles. No hole in the block, it was knocking though. The noise started off much quieter and wasn't an actual knock, so I got on it once or twice before I noticed it sounded off, yet it still held up. When the knock started I had it towed to local dealer. 115k miles on a modified car, stock block, that's not great but not bad considering this cars reputation. It may have been avoidable as the techs did a tear down and found the oil to be extremely thin and not sticking to surfaces and lubricating properly, which likely was the culprit. I was getting oil changes from Valvoline which was dumb. Nonetheless my aftermarket warranty covered the engine and turbo. I've put an additional 15k miles on, now at 130k and the car has been amazing outside of the issues I mentioned above. I own a 1993 Foxbody coupe 5.0, it's got basic mods with 4.10 gears and a built AOD transmission. So I've been a v8 guy in the past, and I still own that car, but the EcoBoost Mustang has definitely opened my eyes to a different world of cars. With basic boltons, a good tune, and good maintenance, this car can dust a fair amount of things on the road and for the money it's a great car all around!

My two cents worth. I have a 2019 Ecoboost. Mods: CAI, 3" catted down pipe, race intercooler, Magnaflow exhaust (much better than stock). Last year, racing it at Bandimere Speedway from June through October, ran my best ¼ mile time at 13.29 seconds at 105.7 mph AT 5800 feet above sea level. This year will be faster. Upgraded the turbo to a Performance Turbo, Turbonetics NX2 52mm Turbo and a dyno race tune. On the dyno, 380 rear wheel horsepower in drag race mode. We're anticipating mid to low 12's for the ¼ mile AT ALTITUDE.

I love my 2019 Ford Mustang ecoboost that I bought brand new in 2019.
I don’t beat on mine.
I tell everyone it’s my modern day classic car in regards to me babying it.
In return my car gives me the gift of filling my tank every 2 weeks on shell pump ‘93.
Won’t put any less in her.
That being said, I have once (and I do mean only once) I did a 0-60 run in my pony.
I am in no means a race car driver by any sorts.
And my 0-60 run was recorded @ 5.2 seconds with my eco-boost with the 10 speed automatic.
If you remember that you car doesn’t have the 5.0 and treat it as just a fun sports car, this car will easily hit 100k and more.

I know Ford recommends changing oil every 7-10k. IMO I change mine every 3-3, 500 miles. Most people drive these relatively hard. I mean if you only keep it up to 80 or 100k it's not gonna matter. But 200K plus, your engine and turbocharger has a much better chance of making it.

[ravichandrakonda]

2018 model, Eco Premium. 70k miles!! Still runnning like a dream. Oil change every 6 months. Only changed battery, tires and air filters once. 22/28mpg. ❤️

I used to live in Dubai for years and im quite impressed that the Stang 4banger still holds up with the elements

[noturaveragem]

The big screen is just an option bc I got the same screen on the almost base model of the car. I think it was the 201 A package not too sure on that part tho.

[rogerredford]

I owned a 2015 Eco-Boost Premium and enjoyed the car. Excellent handling and fun to drive. Like you, my main know of the car was the sound of the exhaust, especially when a 5.0 went by. Would I buy another Eco-Boost? Definitely. I traded mine in for a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. Bad decision that will be rectified soon.

[shlokahuja]

One of the best 4 turbos if you do a little more for it, use the paddle shifters and idk about your car but I’d expect it to be in the high 6s

[johnwhite]

I had a 2017 ecoboost 6 speed manual an could easy get 0 to 60mph in 5.5 seconds with only change of gear from 1st to 2nd, I'm from Scotland 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just get a cat back exhaust or remove the resonator and the car will sound okay.

[kathyperez]

I have a 2018 ecoboost premium i luv it! Thank you for the video😊
