      Erwin, modern 4 cylinder cars have more power than older 6 cylinder cars.
      And with a turbo, they're pretty close to 8 cylinder cars of the past.
      The 1998 Mustang 4.6 L V8 had the same HP as this 4 cyl.

  • @LJ-oc9yd

    I had one for a rental for a week. Totally amazing. Even going 70 on the freeway, if you step on it you take off like you had been standing still. The torque is unreal for a 4 cylinder. So much fun. I'm thinking about buying a used one; but I think I'm going to go for the V6. Performance is almost identical; but the 6 should last longer.

      I'm renting one right now. Underpowered AF. Idk what all you 4 cylinder fanboys are smoking. Has a decent amount of torque at like ONE thousand rpms. Then it very quickly just runs out of steam as soon you get any rpms. Lacks any kind of high rpm power that a V8 has

      V6 is older than the 2018 models. Go with the Turbo. Can use regular gas (will give a little less than 300HP) or Premium. you ust don't get the deep Rumble of the v8 engine.
      WAY better gas mileage.

    so with some tuning cash you get a 4 cylinder that can smack the GT around while weighing less and having better weight distribution and getting better mileage.

Its cheaper to get to 500 and your not pushing the motor to the limits and making it a 60k motor max. Not to mention those things sound like shitty ricey civics. I'll take my Hennasey ZL1 thats putting 750 to the ground. Laugh at hellcats and tell kids in there 4banger and v6 mustangs that it sounds just like a v8. How did they make is so rasspy thats awesome! Also lets not forget. 9/10 mustang owners who say they have 500hp rarely bring all 500. Most of the time its around 350 they bring to the ground.

      +Son of a Zombie The Brabham drove with a BMW engine. There wasnt a BMW in Formula 1 as a team, only as an engine supplier. No engine ever made 1600 hp in Formula 1 the most powerfull was the Brabhams BMW engine with 1350 hp, even that was an estimate since they couldnt mesure it over a 1000 hp but only calculate it.

    I love the independent rear suspension in the new mustang. My brother has the 2013 Mustang with the fixed suspension and every time it goes over a bump, it does a big 'ol Irish Jig and nearly fishtails. He should've waited to get the 2015, but he's getting one the second his lease expires on his current one.

    I have a '16 ecoboost in comp orange like the one in this video and I absolutely love it. It is hard to part with that classic sound, but it's still a nice car with a lot of great power. My next car will def be a manual 5.0, but for someone looking for more of a daily driver that is still a lot of fun on the road, the ecoboost is a great choice. Mustang purists can get mad all they want, idgaf 😁

  • @LMacNeill
    @LMacNeill 6 лет назад +53

    I’ve owned a 4-cylinder 2015 EcoBoost Premium convertible Mustang since June of 2015. I have gotten as high as 34 MPG on the highway, which is something that no V8 Mustang can ever do. But, for day-to-day driving, it’s really not that spectacular in the MPG department - I average about 22 MPG in daily driving. Because I just can’t *not* step on it when I drive it. :-)
    One caveat - you only get the max HP and max torque if you use 93-octane fuel. It drops to 275HP and (I believe) 300 lb-ft of torque if you use 87-octane fuel. It absolutely *is* noticeable when you switch from 87 to 93 and back. In the mid-range of the RPM band, you can *really* feel the computer pulling the ignition timing back a *lot* when you’re on 87-octane, if you’ve gotten used to the power of 93-octane. So I always run 93 octane.
    Given the fact that you *must* run 93-octane to get the best power, and the fuel mileage is only about 15% better than the V8 in daily driving, I would choose the V8 if I had to buy my Mustang again. Not that I dislike the EcoBoost at all - it’s a great engine, and unbelievably amazing that they can suck 310 HP out of that thing, and I’m thoroughly enjoying owning it. But the MPG advantage and fuel-savings are just not really all that much in real-world driving. And if you can’t really save that much on fuel, then why bother *not* getting the V8, you know?

The turbo did the 1/4 mile in 13.9 at 98 mph, and the V6 did it in 14.1 seconds at 102 mph. The base price on the turbo is around $27000 while the V6 is closer to $24500. After they added on options on the turbo it was almost $38000. YIKES

      Alot less effort then building up the 6 cylinder. also all turbo cars will get horrible gas milage if your always in boost.

    I had a 1989 4 cylinder hatchback and I rode it hard untill I sold it in 2000.
    One huge advantage over the more powerful versions was the tire size, the narrower tires were better in the winter for snow. The car did run cold so I had to put cardboard not only in front of the rad but behind it as well.
    It was a very reliable car, except for the little 4 inch cable for the clutch but I could change it out using a shoe to prop the clutch pedal up (one minute change out).
    The only issue was the electric rad fan cutting in and out rapidly when the outside temperature was around freezing and the humidity was high. Had the fan replaced, relay, computer but never did find the problem. Ended up putting a rocker switch in to disable the fan, it fit nicely between the door and the dash.

    Having driven a couple for work, they're pretty decent honestly.
    Obviously the v8 is where its at, but that's just cause POWWA.
    The sport mode he puts it on? The computer revs and keeps the revs at, 4K. This is pretty interesting because, being a turbo, it's straight into boost you go. And it really is a smaller turbo honestly, so you run out of power pretty quick when you rev it out.
    Just when you think you'll get more power and go faster? It just flatlines...
    Sounds pretty cool though, just not the kinda sound you would expect from a mustang. Someone could hear it, and expect some kind of german or tuner car coming by, but no, its a weird mustang lol.
    It really is the perfect amount of power though, for the average consumer.
    You combine this with being a pretty comfortable car in the first place, and you have a nice ride.
    Oh and the convertible is awesome.
    This is honestly the only mustang ive liked so far, and it hurts to admit that.
    I would still get the v8 though..

    Can't wait to see in a year how well these hold up with DI that normally scums up the intake and valves for some reason, but I link it to higher emission standards leading to more EGR valve salad dressing getting pumped in more often, and timing being so tight it may be backwashing, not to mention the water thin oil blowing by the rings!!!
