Is the 2019 Ford Mustang EcoBoost really that BAD?

  • When it come to the Ford Mustang many people believe that since it has that muscle car heritage it has to have a booming V8. Under the hood of this Mustang EcoBoost is a 2.3L turbocharged inline-4 that pumps out 310 HP & mated to a 10 speed automatic. Even with a horsepower number like that and a fast 0-60 in 4.9 secs does the Mustang EcoBoost deserve more respect?

    The “EcoBoost” name is perfect. There is absolutely no need to change it. It is unbelievable that a 4 cylinder engine can make this much power. This is a real muscle car. 310hp and 350 lb-ft. 0 to 60 in about 5 seconds. We used to get these numbers in a muscle car just 10 years ago, and even today those are respectable numbers. Doesn’t matter what the haters have to say. Most of them haven’t even driven one of them.

      Yeah
      This one is also a more affordable version too
      Cheaper.
      300hp.
      Decent mileage.
      What's to hate?
      It may not be a "rEaL MuStAnG" due to 4 cylinders but 300hp is not really weak

    Despite all the negative opinions about this car, I heard that many people are really happy with it.
    Also, I think ecoboost is super nice because there are many people who wants to drive sports cars without putting up with bad gas mileage. Also I think many people wants to drive Mustangs as a daily driver so this is a really nice option.

    Having a 2018 Mustang GT and being in the local clubs and biggest Mustang 6th gen forum...There honestly is not as much hate for the eco boost as you think. Maybe 5 years ago sure but not now. Their aftermarket is strong, they got proven chops on the track being much lighter in the front, and the take rate vs the GT is about the same. Just buy the car you like I say, leave the haters in the dust lol.

Only reason I got the supercharged GT was because it was a steal price wise and I don’t drive much anymore so fuel consumption is no longer an issue for a DD.

Now I have a 2017 EcoBoost premium and love it. It is so smooth and fast when I need speed. Hubby loves driving it on curvy roads. I didn't even test drive a V8.

    The EcoBoost Mustang is cool when you tune it. Plenty of torque on tap. But after owning one for a few years I should've just gone for the GT.
    Also, for the select few people in the comments- exhaust notes aren't the defining features of V8 engines. Buy a V8 because of the power it'll produce.
    Anyone who bases engine selection on the exhaust note can cry to sleep after getting gapped by a Tesla.

The only mod I have made is to drop in a K&N air filter. I have owned Cameros and Mustangs from the 70s and 80s and my 2013 V6 has better specs, runs faster than them by far (the beneficiary of 30+ years of engineering) In my thinking you can't go wrong with todays 5.0 or the 2.3 each are great options just depends on you and what you want.

      @@RotterStudios Its an excellent car i recommended. I daily drive it for work 40 miles a day 5 days a week and its very comfortable and gas last me a full week with that mileage, doing either highway or canyon driving depending on traffic. I SVT tuned mine for $400 which made it a lot faster and then i installed a K&N intake for fun. Sound is actually decent with aftermarket exhaust, i transferred the same flowmaster i had on my v6 to it. Saving up for a 2020 vette now tho

    I had a 2018 Mustang eco boost with PP1 for a little over a year. I traded it for a 2019 Mustang GT with PP1. No regret. If the GT is what you want and love, don’t settle for an eco boost because of pricing. However, I’m not bagging on the Eco, because it’s pretty fast and fun to drive. I must say though, there’s nothing like starting up a 5.0 every day🤷‍♀️

    Great review as always Joe! I always say the EB Mustang provides a great value & performance for the price. I have a 2016 one and the stigma of people saying it's a crappy car because it isn't a V8 always is annoying.... then I realize I got the car for me and if I like it... well that's all that matters. Any EB Mustang deserves more respect than it gets.
    Quick question for you. I've heard a lot of reviewers complain about the 10 speed auto not only in the EB, but also in the newer GTs. They say sometimes it gets confused and it can't figure out what gear it wants to be in. Sometimes it responds slow.... What do you think of it? Also do you think it's kind of weird with 10 gears, like the car always feels like it's shifting? That's one reason I'm keeping my '16 instead of upgrading to a newer one is because mine has the older 6 speed auto. Thanks for what you do!

    For those of you who know your Mustang history, the legendary 8 cylinder four-barrel 351 Cleveland in the 1970-72 Mustangs and Cougars made 300 hp. Gearheads still seek out these motors for their power and performance.
    This four-cylinder Ecoboost makes 310 hp.
    And let’s face reality: the horsepower wars are ridiculous. How many of you are actually on a drag strip racing a production car? Long as you have enough power on tap to pass when needed, you’re set. And frankly, once you have a decent car that capability is as much about skill as anything. So there’s no value in having a car with 587 hp or 812 hp etc.
    One more bit of info: the base engine in the base 1964 Mustang was a 2.8 liter inline 6 cylinder that made 105 hp.
    310 hp is golden in this car. Perfect amount of power. More powerful than the 4-barrel 351 Cleveland..... enjoy the ride!

    I honestly prefer the EcoBoost over the V8. You still get a good amount of power, the lower maintenance costs, and much better fuel economy with normal driving. To throw in some more spiciness, the tons of amazing and reliable modification options that make more a difference, without having to spend as much as buying another brand new car.

      @@saauuzza The Mustang wasn't originally designed to be a muscle car. It was designed to be a "Pony car", i.e. a cheap, fun 2 door sports car that happened to have a V8, but there was also some I6s offered below the V8 offerings. This mustang has a 4 cylinder offering, which usually results in better fuel economy over the V8.

    my wife said "how can we get the our mustang to sound really good? Is there an exhaust?" . I said the only way to get good sound is to trade it in for a GT. We just got a white GT. end of problem.

    I love listening to the sound of mine with the Roush CAI and turbosmart BOV. Honestly turbo noises are just as nice as v8 noises if not even better to me at least

    Good review, as always. There’s a Mustang for everyone, and while I love the V8 and assumed I would buy one, and could afford it, in the end I went with a 2020 Ecoboost Premium, well-optioned, no need to finance. Had to buy quickly as changed jobs and no more company car, and had a $1,500 coupon from Ford about to expire, so but local dealer inventory. Knowing what I know now, I would have looked harder for one with the performance package, but my silver 2020 hasn’t disappointed, and with regular maintenance am hopeful the little 4-banger will continue to perform. Mine does have the active exhaust, but I know it still sounds like a smoothie machine on high, as one reviewer put it. The V8 crowd should be grateful for the Ecoboost, Ford sells so many that they’re able to continue to develop the other Mustang performance offerings. If Mustang was only a V8 I don’t think they would sell enough to justify continually developing. As for the 2024, about the only thing I can say I like are the hood struts. About time, Ford! Camero lives on in the 2024 Mustang.
