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.
I just bought a used Ecoboost performance pack vert w/ the 6 speed manual I average, on 87 octane gas, 28mpg overall and on a long trip this sucker will do well over 30mpg. Theres plenty of power to have a lot of fun on the curvy and hilly PA roads and handling is surprisingly good It feels more like a big 240sx than a Mustang and Im ok with that becuase i still have the Mustang utility and looks. I like a V8 as much as anyone else but im willing to live with a 4cyl sound for that much having cake and eating it.
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 got a 21 convertible 2 weeks ago. I like it so far. It's my fun car, so I won't spend so much time per day to hate it. It handles very well but the ride is so so
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.
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 just bought a 21 ecoboost premium. Did a lot of study. Had a GT a few years ago. Very satisfied with the echo, the only thing, as everyone says is the sound. If you put it in track mode you should be satisfied. Be sure to study, you'll probably want the premium, it has a lot of extras
@@mrdougeran1 is there any reason to buy the 2022 over the 2021 as I was looking and there are actually slower due to regulations but I don’t think you’ll feel it. Also how much did you pay because I’m tryna find a middle road for prices unless buying one new is the best option.
@@xenokrozz702 i don't know....paid a about 3k less than list. From the price today you could probably get a better deal on a 21. Mine had Less than 3k miles on it, bought it online which was a bit scary. Mine has all of the bells and whistles. I went online, tried to keep mine within 500 miles of where I'm located. Put everything down on a spreadsheet, as you will need about 14 columns... Where its located, color, auto or stick, mileage, etc. Before I made up my mind I had about 25 listed and went from there. Check out yt videos, there are a lot of them. A couple things right off the bat, dint get a 6cyl I studied a lot about and it seems to have the most problems. I thought I was going stick but the auto is a 10 speed and is very smooth. Hope this gives you a little info
@@mrdougeran1 yes this does I will line into the 21 preformance pack with the bigger info and hopefully find a deal that around prob 1 to 2k because the market is crazy rn. Thanks for the info
@@xenokrozz702 the pp on the premium is great....don't think they put that on anything but the premium...dont have the http on yt, but there is a guy and his wife each testing the 5.0 against the eb. She liked the eb, he liked the 5.0 but said there wasn't much difference
I've got a 5.0, I was expecting visibility to be garbage but I was amazed that everywhere I look I have full view out of the car. I tend to pull an owl move with my neck when I drive so I've paid attention to that part a lot coming from a 2017 civic. I do agree that the mirrors are kinda tiny though which sucks for parking in reverse in my driveway where it's extra dark.
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.
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!
@@djzulumask2138 all you had to say was u got dusted by a stock Mustang lmao we get it, you're just salty. Either of my modified stangs would dust your pos 😘
Bruh my stock 2020 eco 0-60 is 5.2. Put it in DRAG mode turn off traction and put it in sport but don’t use paddle shifters until you start noticing where it likes to shift
Tell us more about quality control. After two years of beating the crap out of your car, as you say, does it have buzzing or rattling interior at highway speeds? Anything falling apart or looking more scratched up than it should? Etcetera.
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 live in uae and I m really considering getting an ecoboost mustang , just wondering how much would the performance suffer due to heat ? The oem intercooler gets heat soaked within a pull on a dyno , so I would imagine how much it really suffers in dubai ,they say if you do consecutive pulls ,power will keep dropping due to IC heat soak
Must be e.u. version because u.s. is in the 5's, My ecoboost with only the ford performance reclibration hits 5.3s even heat soaked in 90 degree weather.
@@Dante_S550_Turbo hello, i know nothing of cars beside being the driver, i got an ecoboost recently and i would like to know exactly what you did to yours? Did you take it to the shop to get something redone?
@@chaboi7 it just had the ford re calibration tune on it at the time. You can buy it online. personally i would suggest going Cobb, cobb stage 1 is similar to the ford performance tune, but with the freedom to get custom tunes done by places like PDtunning arguably the best tuners for ecoboost mustangs.
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.
Yeah that’s what I do I change it around 8-9km it’s relatively cheap and it’s never bad to change your oil a little earlier than recommended and yeah you’re right some people wait to 15km which is crazy.
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 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.
please comparing your both cars, did you notice a big economy on gas with the Hyundai ? or its not that much noticeable difference ? can you say on dollars how much approx both cars were taking from your pocket for gas ? in week or months or whatever ? thnx buddy
Yeah thanks for the video I love mine too but I got the convertible it's a couple hundred pounds lighter and so it does move a lot faster but yeah the exhaust does stink but you know I don't get a headache driving down the road either that's what the radio is for you after the warranty where is that I'll probably do something with the exhaust make it sound a little better oh one of the thing the paddle shifter you got to be so well time just right to get optimum performance but if you just let the automatic handle it it is a lot faster it is good for downshifting all though probably not recommended but if you need to slow down quickly paddle shift will works great for that thanks again for the video
Mine has Normal, Sport, Sport+, Track, Drag, and Snow/Wet. Plus its Prem and a convertible so I dont need to worry about tall people in the back. Roof hides itself on demand lol.
I just got my ecoboost grabber yellow and it’s been great, don’t need a super loud gas consumer .. Can see great and I’m 6’1.. don’t let people talk you out of it because it’s not loud! Gas mileage has been great using 93
I'm gonna get this car in a few days or in about a week! I can't wait !! I'm scared/excited at the same time. I never had a car like this! Thank god my bro. works at a dealership.
@@Timbodadon I unfortunately have not gotten it yet. My brother works at the dealership. So I know that I'm getting it I signed in all the paperwork and made my deposit and everything like that I just have to wait a little longer now. It's frustrating LOL
@@snappycrane7279 I just got mines a week ago. I love it! I'm paranoid some Idiot is gonna scratch my car though ... I work at 2 retail stores. People want me to go traveling and really break the speed limit but I'm too humble and modest to do anything like that LOL. I can tell you one thing it sure does want to move forward a lot LOL!
Not true the 30A package has big screen too but yea ecoboost can take alot of abuse great runners and as far as exhaust I recommend quiet upgrade like borla touring with resonator and rousch cold air intake for a little more power or a quick K&N drop in also I recommend 2018 model and up because they come with upgraded independent rear suspension and upgraded tourqe tho top speed is reduced unless you got high performance
That 40-60mph felt surprisingly slow. If I'm wot on an entrance ramp I'm close to 80/90mph by the time I get to the actual highway. (I just have boltons (Cai, Turbo back high flow exhaust, race Intercooler, and pro tune)) 🤷🏽
I got one great car I just want to know where is the push button receiver is located is it in the engine compartment or in the vehicle well I load my son the car and he ran into someone they break in the intersection and it's not working don't want to go to the dealer anyone knows where receiver is located in the engine or in the vehicle thank you
For sure it’s such an amazing car I have enjoyed every moment of driving it! Dubai roads are great but soo many speeding cameras nowadays it’s better to walk 😂🤦🏻♂️
I want less Eco, more BOOST! haha I love him but we gotta tune this guy up just a bit. It's a great daily. Any car lover can appreciate it and it's still a head turner
Is it fast? Debatable but I will say on the street it has a hard time getting traction during shifts. When it goes it grips it takes off. The gt also has this problem but x10 if u can get some wider stickier tires that will grip it’s actually quite quick 0-80mph upper end it does fall on its face but it‘s plenty for the street
Tighten up the rear-end. The rear sub frame likes to walk, a lot. Also tomei makes a nice tuned exhaust for the 2.3L. 1 of the few exhaust systems not made to make it imitate a v8 which will always make it sound bad. Tomei exhaust will save you 45lbs btw.
hey i got this car last month with premium package everything in there, but i went with active exhaust it's all worth it if you can't afford the v8 premium. the rear seats i only let my 4 year old son sit in there lol no adults allowed not unless if you are really small hehe.
Hi bro the first and most important tip is try to find a GCC one but if the budget can only buy an American spec get one but make sure to check the vin number all you have to do is type it into google it will show you the car when it had the accident and don’t buy one with any chassis damage because they will try to lie and say oh only little hit no damage to chassis trust me they all have damage and stay away from (kandy cars) and dealers in general try to find an owner and before you buy the car take it straight to ford and do a check up I’m not sure how much it cost but it will save you soo much they will tell you everything about the car much better than RTA or any garage and lastly negotiate these cars aren’t worth that they’re advertising so keep pushing for the price but don’t lose the car because they sell very fast. And the fuel economy is not bad at all when my father drives it it gives him 550km (I get 390-400) of range and a full gas tank fill up from empty is 160/165 AED service cost around 300 AED at any fuel station for oil and oil filter you can change brake pads for around 800AED if you wanna have something cheap or you can take it to ford and I believe pay around 1500 dirhams for original breaks so the car is soo cheap to maintain and easy to take care of but after the 100k km the car begins to have issues things like AC, windshield and stuff like that but that’s for me because I now have to park it in the sun so I blew the compressor and the windshield cracked but otherwise the car is beautiful it’s very smooth handles very well it’s got crazy torque and it’s actually quick so it’s a lot of fun I’ve had the best 5 years of my life driving that car and I’ve driven all sorts of cars but this car is just very special but again make sure to take it to ford if you’re gonna buy one and yes they will take the car in and fix it and do all that and their prices aren’t actually bad but always check with an outside garage because you never know when they are scamming you with prices and yeah that’s it sorry for the long message but I want you get as much out of this as you can if you still have any questions let me know :)
Hi brother I would like to ask you about the availability of the spare parts in uae and What is your opinion to get a used American spec of this model.🙂
Hello brother my car is American specs I bought it used so make sure you put the VIN number on google so you see how it was after the accident because all the American spec mustangs in the UAE have been involved in an accident but don’t be discouraged they’re all fixed and safe otherwise RTA wouldn’t pass them and yes there are many spare parts in the uae pretty much all the garages will fix anything in or on the car. I hope this helps 😊

I got a 2019 Need for Green fully loaded with performance pack, premium with digital dash and it's the best all around car for the money to me. You cant find a car with a better interior, better looks, better engine and better handling all in one WITH a manual and RWD. There's no where on the car I can think of that needs any kind of upgrade. Stock it's amazing and turns heads everywhere
I agree with you and to be honest for all the people that always say “it’s a 4cyl it’s not a v8” I never felt like I wanted the v8 I drove it a few times it was definitely powerful but it’s not miles faster if you know what I mean I’m glad you like your car and the most important thing is it makes you happy :).
I have a 2018 with 11,000 miles on it very good shape my acceleration is a lot quicker than what I seen in the video my gears change really fast But I’m very impressed about the performance awesome car
Heres my take, I have a 2015 EcoBoost premium I bought at the start at the pandemic for 21k with 20k miles. Absolute steal. At a carmax nonetheless. I knew I want to build and add mods but I didnt know much about cars, engines. Other than how to change a tire ,oil, ect.. anyways as of today inhave installed with no issues and pretty easily due to all the engine bay space with these 4 inlines, just off CZcams videos... a CVFAB Street intercooler, AIR RAID Cold air intake, CVFAB Catless downpipe, CVFAB Y-pipe, BOOMBA Intake manifold spacer, BOOMBA Body throttle spacer, SEC-10 Throttle response Controller, JLR catch can setup, CNL blow out valve and a JB4 Burgermotorsports tuner. Im at or around 380hp and 420 ft-lbs of Torque. It's fun, fast and mostly nimble. 0-60mph times for me are around 4.8-5.1s depending on tires sticking, and ambient air temps. I love my EcoBoost. If anyone can recommend their fav. axle back exhausts I'd appreciate it. Cheers ! (still need some charge pipes, coilovers, performance spark plugs/coil packs, and performance rotors and pads would be great)
Just a quick question man, don't you think that, after installing all those upgrades, you've spent as much as you'd have if you had bought a 2016-17 GT? I'm in the process of looking for my first car, I wanted it to be a Tesla Model 3 (I know, very different to a Mustang but it's my dream car) but I'm not quite up there to afford it so I'm looking at a Mustang and debating on the Ecoboost or GT
Hello I’m glad you found this video useful to be honest with you both the cars are similar but I’d go with the eco boost simply because it’s slightly better performance wise and it’s got much better fuel economy. Overall both cars are nice and best of luck with whichever one you choose 😄
@@DRTURBO thanks for your response man sorry for bothering you with my massages what do you think of the Ecoboost on the road it's not light right? Like it's not that easy to crash as we all hear everyday about mustang shit like can i use it for a regular daily drive ot what and thanks for your time mate
@@adamshehabat3036 i have a 2017 eco boost and its pretty cool but just dont modify if at all really. They have been know to blow up with modifications.
@@DRTURBO You're welcome. I'm gonna be in the market for a new car in a year or two so I'm checking out some "fun" cars and some "practical" cars. The eco boost mustang is definitely a fun car I'm checking out that is relatively affordable. I was checking out the 2.0 supras, Awesome car but out of my price range. I had a gr86 already and didn't care for that much. Well, Ill stop rambling. lol Thanks for the vid
Thank you I’m glad you like it we’re also filming an updated more informative video on the ecoboost over the next few days so you can also check that out soon😊
Hello, yeah oil change with oil filter is all around 250AED at any gas station if you want to do it at the ford dealership it will cost you 300AED Tyres depend on what you want you can get 4 tyres for 2,000AED and they are not bad Brakes 4 new discs and pads will cost you 2.6k at the ford dealership A full gas tank will cost you 165-170 AED but prices always change If you have more questions let me know and don’t forget to subscribe 😊
@@DRTURBO thank you for your response, it very helpful, I'm a new license here in Dubai and mustang is my dream car since before, I always watch your video...
You have to let turbo boost before start. So you have to press on the brake has hard as you can, go full throttle and when your ready to launch, release the brake pedal !
To be completely honest with you that’s the most you’ll get out of the eco boost I’ve done many launches in many different configurations you could probably get .2 seconds faster 0.5 even if it’s the perfect launch but doing all this wouldn’t make the car 2-3 seconds faster also it was sooo hot that day and the car was destroyed back then too so don’t take this as a prime ecoboost mustang but a bit more of a daily abused car for years 😂😂
Wow, I have a 2014 Fiesta ST and stock they were 0-60 in 6.7, I have a stage two Cobb Tune MBPR exhaust short shift kit and sticky Michelin Pilot Sport tires, it gets to 60 in 6 seconds flat and the car has 113,000 miles, nice to know I can smoke a Mustang in a Fiesta. The Fiesta Flash
Unfortunately mine doesn’t have a navigation system for some reason some USA spec cars in the UAE just come without them so make sure you check that when you’re buying a USA spec mustang in the UAE but from what I hear it’s not bad definitely reliable and easy to use.
I used to have a 2020 EcoBoost HPP until a month ago and it was way faster than your base EcoBoost. The HPP does 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds with the A10 transmission and 4.9 with the 6 speed manual. It also has the same 155 mph top speed as the Mustang GT. So yes EcoBoost Mustangs can be pretty fast if you get the right options. The HPP option is $5000 and well worth the extra money.
I'm content with mine, however I tweaked the speed performance, handling performance, as well as sound which is still nothing like the V8. I like the way my car handles. A friend of mine who ownes a Ferrari eas impressed with the cars handling. Again,I upgraded my whole suspension, even sway bars. A stock EcoBoost Mustang is decent for the price. Ford really should get the 4 banger to put out more hp. Stock should respectfully put out at least 350 hp, 380 lbs torque. Thats what I have mine running and it is a big difference. I pull in 5.7 seconds 0 to 60. Fun car to drive. Shame on Ford for not doing better.
From what I know there’s only 2 types of screens one that’s very small and not a tour has screen and that’s for the base models For the premium model you get leather seats and the big sync touch screen.
Maybe it’s in the model years 2017 and up because I’ve seen a lot of 2016 mustangs and never saw base models with touch screen however thank you for letting me know.😊
2022 EcoRooster base , Midnight package. Just a black base Mustang. I couldn't crash it into a crowd of people if I greased the tires and did a Stage 5 weight reduction. Embarrassing. It is a grocery getter at best. Looks cool leaving the car wash. Good gas mileage. Perfect car for your daughter while she goes to Trade Skool. She can't wreck it. Too many electronics to prevent wheel spin/ fun. Get a Coyote, damn what the neighbors say.
Mine is American spec and it worked fine I just a few issues with ac motor so I had to change that to a “GCC” one but make sure to take down the vin number of the car and type it into google to see pictures of the accident and also make sure there’s no chassis damage and make sure the airbags work and were never deployed but try your best to avoid dealers specially the ones in sharjah they are crazy over there and last thing make sure mileage is below 60km if you have anymore questions let me know I hope this helps :)
You are in Dubai that's no doubt you can't drive that fast cuz temperature and humidity are the main factors that slow your performance. If you were in a cool place like Melbourne, you can definitely get 6 or even faster. I don't explain why temperature and humidity slow your car but you can google the reason.
Also factor in there will be a lot more added dust being sucked into his air filter in his climate, so he will need to keep an eye on his air filter or he will be down on power a bit.
Yeah unfortunately I had an issue it took me some time to understand where the problem was and it ended up being transmission related I’ve made many videos about it and one of my latest video I talk and cover all the reliability issues but if you don’t wanna sped all day watching stuff I had an issue and then it was fixed at the dealership and it wasn’t that expensive I would say less than 1k USD but that was after a lot of abuse to the car
@@DRTURBO thanks, I’ll go through the videos since I’m struggling with transmission issues. Last month I had to replace the gasket and I’m assuming it’s because of the bad downshifting. I’m also in the UAE, if you could recommend good workshops you know please.
Yes I did when I first bought the car I had an issue with the gasket it was always leaking oil I tried something that was recommended to me which was steam washing however I saw no results to I changed the gasket at 33km and now I’m at 84km and thankfully I haven’t had any oil leaks since.
Okay I can’t really tell you how it feels but I can tell you this the rush you get when you put it in track mode and you step on it and there’s a little corner coming up and you know you can trust the steering because it always does exactly what you want it to do ( don’t get me wrong it’s no Ferrari) you go into the corner and lose a little traction correct it and step on it again at that point you’re a little sweaty and you just wanna scream so that’s the rush you get and in my opinion it’s something I experienced only in this car the turbo on the other hand depends on the day to be honest sometimes it’s good and extremely responsive and other times it’s just a little delayed it’s definitely beautiful to drive if you can get over some of its mechanical issues. I hope that answers your questions and I’ll also make a video and try to add more angles and involve more driver feeling things 😊
Yeah buddy when humidity is up to 99% it gets a little hot and it reaches up to 50 degrees Celsius most of the summer days😂 So yes it gets extreme I promise 😂😂
@@DRTURBO "High Performance Package" Comes with a de tuned Focus RS 2.3L,. It's different from the standard 2.3L in the ecoboost. They make some weird options and decision, just make 1 flipping engine and don't de tune ;)
Why were you acting like "feels like 46" degrees is cold? Thats summertime in Michigan son, im out here skiiing in my ecoboost in "feels like -10" degrees lol
46 degrees Celsius which is 115 F and that’s no where near cold I’m pretty sure I make it clear that it’s hot almost all year round I’ve lived in extreme heat and I’ve also lived in extreme cold so I understand what you mean but that is not what I said 😊👍🏼
93 is the better option for performance and blah blah but you can use 87 it’s fine and nothing bad will happen and it’ll still perform really well the difference isn’t worth the price difference anyways
Unfortunately where I live everything is very very very expensive and it’s illegal to change exhausts so I’m not really into paying big fines you know? 😊
@@DRTURBO It's completely illegal in Washington State where I live, and not I nor any of my friends have ever been pulled over or gotten any tickets for aftermarket exhaust work.
The ecoboost engine it only takes the expensive ⛽️ gas if you put regular 89 gas it will damage the engine. So this engine is no good.😅 plus its a 4 cylinder the 6 cylinder is better.

What MPG do you normally get? Premium gas or Regular gas?
How much gas does it consume?
I just bought a used Ecoboost performance pack vert w/ the 6 speed manual
I average, on 87 octane gas, 28mpg overall and on a long trip this sucker will do well over 30mpg. Theres plenty of power to have a lot of fun on the curvy and hilly PA roads and handling is surprisingly good
It feels more like a big 240sx than a Mustang and Im ok with that becuase i still have the Mustang utility and looks.
I like a V8 as much as anyone else but im willing to live with a 4cyl sound for that much having cake and eating it.
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 just bought a 21 ecoboost premium. Did a lot of study. Had a GT a few years ago. Very satisfied with the echo, the only thing, as everyone says is the sound. If you put it in track mode you should be satisfied. Be sure to study, you'll probably want the premium, it has a lot of extras
@@mrdougeran1 is there any reason to buy the 2022 over the 2021 as I was looking and there are actually slower due to regulations but I don’t think you’ll feel it. Also how much did you pay because I’m tryna find a middle road for prices unless buying one new is the best option.
@@xenokrozz702 i don't know....paid a about 3k less than list. From the price today you could probably get a better deal on a 21. Mine had Less than 3k miles on it, bought it online which was a bit scary. Mine has all of the bells and whistles. I went online, tried to keep mine within 500 miles of where I'm located. Put everything down on a spreadsheet, as you will need about 14 columns...
Where its located, color, auto or stick, mileage, etc. Before I made up my mind I had about 25 listed and went from there.
Check out yt videos, there are a lot of them. A couple things right off the bat, dint get a 6cyl I studied a lot about and it seems to have the most problems. I thought I was going stick but the auto is a 10 speed and is very smooth. Hope this gives you a little info
@@mrdougeran1 yes this does I will line into the 21 preformance pack with the bigger info and hopefully find a deal that around prob 1 to 2k because the market is crazy rn. Thanks for the info
@@xenokrozz702 the pp on the premium is great....don't think they put that on anything but the premium...dont have the http on yt, but there is a guy and his wife each testing the 5.0 against the eb. She liked the eb, he liked the 5.0 but said there wasn't much difference
I used to live in Dubai for years and im quite impressed that the Stang 4banger still holds up with the elements
I've got a 5.0, I was expecting visibility to be garbage but I was amazed that everywhere I look I have full view out of the car. I tend to pull an owl move with my neck when I drive so I've paid attention to that part a lot coming from a 2017 civic. I do agree that the mirrors are kinda tiny though which sucks for parking in reverse in my driveway where it's extra dark.
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.
Man great video. The exhaust make me want to sell it and get 2014 GT
yes thank , i have a 2018 convertible premium , its a very fun car for the value! and i have two kids , they love it too!
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!
It can’t dust sh!t….a Kia k5 is faster…lol…a Honda Accord 2.0 is faster!!! Haha…Trash
@@djzulumask2138 all you had to say was u got dusted by a stock Mustang lmao we get it, you're just salty. Either of my modified stangs would dust your pos 😘
@@djzulumask2138 you don't know shit apparently lol 😂
While you comment these completely irrelevant comments make sure you like and subscribe as well so you’re not soo useless
@@djzulumask2138 must’ve got taken to gapplebees by an ecoboost and that’s why u clicked on the video huh? 😂
Your stand looks so clean. Would be awesome to see some euro taillights, that’d be dope.
That was 3 years ago bro you should see it now it barley drives 😂😂
Bruh my stock 2020 eco 0-60 is 5.2. Put it in DRAG mode turn off traction and put it in sport but don’t use paddle shifters until you start noticing where it likes to shift
Tell us more about quality control. After two years of beating the crap out of your car, as you say, does it have buzzing or rattling interior at highway speeds? Anything falling apart or looking more scratched up than it should? Etcetera.
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’ve heard nothing but good things about the NX2. What type of fuel are you running?
whats the dyno results after you upgraded the turbo? did you put a tune with it?
0-60?
How many milles per galón?
I live in uae and I m really considering getting an ecoboost mustang , just wondering how much would the performance suffer due to heat ? The oem intercooler gets heat soaked within a pull on a dyno , so I would imagine how much it really suffers in dubai ,they say if you do consecutive pulls ,power will keep dropping due to IC heat soak
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
Must be e.u. version because u.s. is in the 5's, My ecoboost with only the ford performance reclibration hits 5.3s even heat soaked in 90 degree weather.
@@Dante_S550_Turbo hello, i know nothing of cars beside being the driver, i got an ecoboost recently and i would like to know exactly what you did to yours? Did you take it to the shop to get something redone?
@@chaboi7 it just had the ford re calibration tune on it at the time. You can buy it online. personally i would suggest going Cobb, cobb stage 1 is similar to the ford performance tune, but with the freedom to get custom tunes done by places like PDtunning arguably the best tuners for ecoboost mustangs.
@@Dante_S550_Turbo thank you so much, im doing my research today lol
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.
Yeah that’s what I do I change it around 8-9km it’s relatively cheap and it’s never bad to change your oil a little earlier than recommended and yeah you’re right some people wait to 15km which is crazy.
Great video I can’t wait to buy one
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 👍🏴
Prolly he is not smashing the pedal. Also high temps in u.a.e.
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.
Yo I want one how is the insurance on it I’m 18 but I’ve never had tickets or anything
@@justinhunting803Sadly mate, they will not look at your record, just, 18 + sports car = accident = $
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.
please comparing your both cars, did you notice a big economy on gas with the Hyundai ? or its not that much noticeable difference ? can you say on dollars how much approx both cars were taking from your pocket for gas ? in week or months or whatever ? thnx buddy
Yeah thanks for the video I love mine too but I got the convertible it's a couple hundred pounds lighter and so it does move a lot faster but yeah the exhaust does stink but you know I don't get a headache driving down the road either that's what the radio is for you after the warranty where is that I'll probably do something with the exhaust make it sound a little better oh one of the thing the paddle shifter you got to be so well time just right to get optimum performance but if you just let the automatic handle it it is a lot faster it is good for downshifting all though probably not recommended but if you need to slow down quickly paddle shift will works great for that thanks again for the video
I love my Ecoboost. I put the Ford Performance Sport exhaust on and I think it sounds good for what it is.
How many miles per gal-on driving normal.
Mine has Normal, Sport, Sport+, Track, Drag, and Snow/Wet. Plus its Prem and a convertible so I dont need to worry about tall people in the back. Roof hides itself on demand lol.
Just get a cat back exhaust or remove the resonator and the car will sound okay.
I just got my ecoboost grabber yellow and it’s been great, don’t need a super loud gas consumer .. Can see great and I’m 6’1.. don’t let people talk you out of it because it’s not loud! Gas mileage has been great using 93
I'm gonna get this car in a few days or in about a week! I can't wait !! I'm scared/excited at the same time. I never had a car like this! Thank god my bro. works at a dealership.
How are you enjoying the car so far
@@Timbodadon I unfortunately have not gotten it yet. My brother works at the dealership. So I know that I'm getting it I signed in all the paperwork and made my deposit and everything like that I just have to wait a little longer now. It's frustrating LOL
It’s a great car I got it yesterday and I love it
@@snappycrane7279 I just got mines a week ago. I love it! I'm paranoid some Idiot is gonna scratch my car though ... I work at 2 retail stores. People want me to go traveling and really break the speed limit but I'm too humble and modest to do anything like that LOL. I can tell you one thing it sure does want to move forward a lot LOL!
@@starless4146 I just got my 2018 ecoboost premium yesterday, so far this thing is fun and I'm a camaro guy lol
Not true the 30A package has big screen too but yea ecoboost can take alot of abuse great runners and as far as exhaust I recommend quiet upgrade like borla touring with resonator and rousch cold air intake for a little more power or a quick K&N drop in also I recommend 2018 model and up because they come with upgraded independent rear suspension and upgraded tourqe tho top speed is reduced unless you got high performance
If there was a 4-door variant, it would be useful for taxi fleets.
Great job. I watched till the end
Well thank you soo much :) I’ve got a bunch of other videos you mighty like as well 😊😊
Thanks bro. I might get the convertible one.
Is this really helpful because I’m actually looking to get one! Thank you tons !
You’re welcome I’m glad it helped and if you have any questions or need any help let me know always happy to help!!
That 40-60mph felt surprisingly slow. If I'm wot on an entrance ramp I'm close to 80/90mph by the time I get to the actual highway. (I just have boltons (Cai, Turbo back high flow exhaust, race Intercooler, and pro tune)) 🤷🏽
I got one great car I just want to know where is the push button receiver is located is it in the engine compartment or in the vehicle well I load my son the car and he ran into someone they break in the intersection and it's not working don't want to go to the dealer anyone knows where receiver is located in the engine or in the vehicle thank you
what octane gas does it use?
How i can put my ecoobost in sport mode?
I LOVE my echoboost 2020 conferable
I'm so glad you like it! I would love to drive mine in Dubai one day on those beautiful wide roads.
For sure it’s such an amazing car I have enjoyed every moment of driving it! Dubai roads are great but soo many speeding cameras nowadays it’s better to walk 😂🤦🏻♂️
I want less Eco, more BOOST! haha I love him but we gotta tune this guy up just a bit. It's a great daily. Any car lover can appreciate it and it's still a head turner
Is it fast? Debatable but I will say on the street it has a hard time getting traction during shifts. When it goes it grips it takes off. The gt also has this problem but x10 if u can get some wider stickier tires that will grip it’s actually quite quick 0-80mph upper end it does fall on its face but it‘s plenty for the street
Tighten up the rear-end. The rear sub frame likes to walk, a lot. Also tomei makes a nice tuned exhaust for the 2.3L. 1 of the few exhaust systems not made to make it imitate a v8 which will always make it sound bad. Tomei exhaust will save you 45lbs btw.
What about cutting resonator and muffler ?
@@willythewhale2235 i mean that will work XD
@@Dante_S550_Turbo yeah that’s what I did for mine lol
Thani you
2:18 that complaint is how I can tell someone is a competent driver.
hey i got this car last month with premium package everything in there, but i went with active exhaust it's all worth it if you can't afford the v8 premium.
the rear seats i only let my 4 year old son sit in there lol no adults allowed not unless if you are really small hehe.
Thank you
Nice review
I reside in the UAE and I'm thinking of picking one of those up, any tips? and how's the fuel mileage and what are you're mustang hacks :)
Hi bro the first and most important tip is try to find a GCC one but if the budget can only buy an American spec get one but make sure to check the vin number all you have to do is type it into google it will show you the car when it had the accident and don’t buy one with any chassis damage because they will try to lie and say oh only little hit no damage to chassis trust me they all have damage and stay away from (kandy cars) and dealers in general try to find an owner and before you buy the car take it straight to ford and do a check up I’m not sure how much it cost but it will save you soo much they will tell you everything about the car much better than RTA or any garage and lastly negotiate these cars aren’t worth that they’re advertising so keep pushing for the price but don’t lose the car because they sell very fast.
And the fuel economy is not bad at all when my father drives it it gives him 550km (I get 390-400) of range and a full gas tank fill up from empty is 160/165 AED service cost around 300 AED at any fuel station for oil and oil filter you can change brake pads for around 800AED if you wanna have something cheap or you can take it to ford and I believe pay around 1500 dirhams for original breaks so the car is soo cheap to maintain and easy to take care of but after the 100k km the car begins to have issues things like AC, windshield and stuff like that but that’s for me because I now have to park it in the sun so I blew the compressor and the windshield cracked but otherwise the car is beautiful it’s very smooth handles very well it’s got crazy torque and it’s actually quick so it’s a lot of fun I’ve had the best 5 years of my life driving that car and I’ve driven all sorts of cars but this car is just very special but again make sure to take it to ford if you’re gonna buy one and yes they will take the car in and fix it and do all that and their prices aren’t actually bad but always check with an outside garage because you never know when they are scamming you with prices and yeah that’s it sorry for the long message but I want you get as much out of this as you can if you still have any questions let me know :)
Hi brother I would like to ask you about the availability of the spare parts in uae and
What is your opinion to get a used American spec of this model.🙂
Hello brother my car is American specs I bought it used so make sure you put the VIN number on google so you see how it was after the accident because all the American spec mustangs in the UAE have been involved in an accident but don’t be discouraged they’re all fixed and safe otherwise RTA wouldn’t pass them and yes there are many spare parts in the uae pretty much all the garages will fix anything in or on the car. I hope this helps 😊

I got a 2019 Need for Green fully loaded with performance pack, premium with digital dash and it's the best all around car for the money to me. You cant find a car with a better interior, better looks, better engine and better handling all in one WITH a manual and RWD. There's no where on the car I can think of that needs any kind of upgrade. Stock it's amazing and turns heads everywhere
I agree with you and to be honest for all the people that always say “it’s a 4cyl it’s not a v8” I never felt like I wanted the v8 I drove it a few times it was definitely powerful but it’s not miles faster if you know what I mean I’m glad you like your car and the most important thing is it makes you happy :).
I have a 2018 with 11,000 miles on it very good shape my acceleration is a lot quicker than what I seen in the video my gears change really fast
But I’m very impressed about the performance awesome car
Heres my take, I have a 2015 EcoBoost premium I bought at the start at the pandemic for 21k with 20k miles. Absolute steal. At a carmax nonetheless. I knew I want to build and add mods but I didnt know much about cars, engines. Other than how to change a tire ,oil, ect.. anyways as of today inhave installed with no issues and pretty easily due to all the engine bay space with these 4 inlines, just off CZcams videos... a CVFAB Street intercooler, AIR RAID Cold air intake, CVFAB Catless downpipe, CVFAB Y-pipe, BOOMBA Intake manifold spacer, BOOMBA Body throttle spacer, SEC-10 Throttle response Controller, JLR catch can setup, CNL blow out valve and a JB4 Burgermotorsports tuner. Im at or around 380hp and 420 ft-lbs of Torque. It's fun, fast and mostly nimble. 0-60mph times for me are around 4.8-5.1s depending on tires sticking, and ambient air temps. I love my EcoBoost. If anyone can recommend their fav. axle back exhausts I'd appreciate it. Cheers ! (still need some charge pipes, coilovers, performance spark plugs/coil packs, and performance rotors and pads would be great)
Just a quick question man, don't you think that, after installing all those upgrades, you've spent as much as you'd have if you had bought a 2016-17 GT?
I'm in the process of looking for my first car, I wanted it to be a Tesla Model 3 (I know, very different to a Mustang but it's my dream car) but I'm not quite up there to afford it so I'm looking at a Mustang and debating on the Ecoboost or GT
@@outlndrrecoboost affordable gas
Thanks for the update mate, I am looking for getting an Ecoboost mustang do you think it's a good choice or shall i buy the v6?
Hello I’m glad you found this video useful to be honest with you both the cars are similar but I’d go with the eco boost simply because it’s slightly better performance wise and it’s got much better fuel economy.
Overall both cars are nice and best of luck with whichever one you choose 😄
@@DRTURBO thanks for your response man sorry for bothering you with my massages what do you think of the Ecoboost on the road it's not light right?

Great video.👍
Thank you I’m glad you like it we’re also filming an updated more informative video on the ecoboost over the next few days so you can also check that out soon😊
@@DRTURBO I'm looking forward to seeing it.👍🍻
can you share the maintenance cost of ecoboost mustang here in uae
Hello,
yeah oil change with oil filter is all around 250AED at any gas station if you want to do it at the ford dealership it will cost you 300AED
Tyres depend on what you want you can get 4 tyres for 2,000AED and they are not bad
Brakes
4 new discs and pads will cost you 2.6k at the ford dealership
A full gas tank will cost you 165-170 AED but prices always change
If you have more questions let me know and don’t forget to subscribe 😊
@@DRTURBO thank you for your response, it very helpful, I'm a new license here in Dubai and mustang is my dream car since before, I always watch your video...
You have to let turbo boost before start. So you have to press on the brake has hard as you can, go full throttle and when your ready to launch, release the brake pedal !
To be completely honest with you that’s the most you’ll get out of the eco boost I’ve done many launches in many different configurations you could probably get .2 seconds faster 0.5 even if it’s the perfect launch but doing all this wouldn’t make the car 2-3 seconds faster also it was sooo hot that day and the car was destroyed back then too so don’t take this as a prime ecoboost mustang but a bit more of a daily abused car for years 😂😂
Wow, I have a 2014 Fiesta ST and stock they were 0-60 in 6.7, I have a stage two Cobb Tune MBPR exhaust short shift kit and sticky Michelin Pilot Sport tires, it gets to 60 in 6 seconds flat and the car has 113,000 miles, nice to know I can smoke a Mustang in a Fiesta. The Fiesta Flash
How reliable is the navigation system?
Unfortunately mine doesn’t have a navigation system for some reason some USA spec cars in the UAE just come without them so make sure you check that when you’re buying a USA spec mustang in the UAE but from what I hear it’s not bad definitely reliable and easy to use.
I used to have a 2020 EcoBoost HPP until a month ago and it was way faster than your base EcoBoost. The HPP does 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds with the A10 transmission and 4.9 with the 6 speed manual. It also has the same 155 mph top speed as the Mustang GT. So yes EcoBoost Mustangs can be pretty fast if you get the right options. The HPP option is $5000 and well worth the extra money.
I'm content with mine, however I tweaked the speed performance, handling performance, as well as sound which is still nothing like the V8. I like the way my car handles. A friend of mine who ownes a Ferrari eas impressed with the cars handling. Again,I upgraded my whole suspension, even sway bars. A stock EcoBoost Mustang is decent for the price. Ford really should get the 4 banger to put out more hp. Stock should respectfully put out at least 350 hp, 380 lbs torque. Thats what I have mine running and it is a big difference. I pull in 5.7 seconds 0 to 60. Fun car to drive. Shame on Ford for not doing better.
texas?
I got a 2018 Ecoboost

the sync 3 touch screen doesnt only come in the premium models
From what I know there’s only 2 types of screens one that’s very small and not a tour has screen and that’s for the base models
For the premium model you get leather seats and the big sync touch screen.
@@DRTURBO you can get the sync 3 touch screen in the base models without the leather seats
Maybe it’s in the model years 2017 and up because I’ve seen a lot of 2016 mustangs and never saw base models with touch screen however thank you for letting me know.😊
2022 EcoRooster base , Midnight package. Just a black base Mustang.
I couldn't crash it into a crowd of people if I greased the tires and did a Stage 5 weight reduction. Embarrassing.
It is a grocery getter at best.
Looks cool leaving the car wash. Good gas mileage. Perfect car for your daughter while she goes to Trade Skool. She can't wreck it. Too many electronics to prevent wheel spin/ fun.
Get a Coyote, damn what the neighbors say.
Is it safe to buy American spec Mustang ecoboost in Dubai from a dealer?
Mine is American spec and it worked fine I just a few issues with ac motor so I had to change that to a “GCC” one but make sure to take down the vin number of the car and type it into google to see pictures of the accident and also make sure there’s no chassis damage and make sure the airbags work and were never deployed but try your best to avoid dealers specially the ones in sharjah they are crazy over there and last thing make sure mileage is below 60km if you have anymore questions let me know I hope this helps :)
@DRTURBO thanks man
i have auto 2015 ecoboost and i can easy run 0 to 60 in 5 secs flat with paddle shifting
That car sounds like my Maverick Ecoboost 😂 but aye man we get better gas milage than V8 owners and V6 owners
You are in Dubai that's no doubt you can't drive that fast cuz temperature and humidity are the main factors that slow your performance. If you were in a cool place like Melbourne, you can definitely get 6 or even faster. I don't explain why temperature and humidity slow your car but you can google the reason.
Yeah that’s true now that the weather here dropped from 40 digress to 20 the car feels a lot better performance wise. So that’s a good point
Also factor in there will be a lot more added dust being sucked into his air filter in his climate, so he will need to keep an eye on his air filter or he will be down on power a bit.
Great video though
Good review. Mustangs are great cars. FORD tough…
That turbo don’t make a difference unless you spoil it up 😂
Damn that engine bay is dirty
Yeah buddy as mentioned we live in a desert and in the summer that’s what happens no matter where you park your car.
Ever had transmission issues?
Yeah unfortunately I had an issue it took me some time to understand where the problem was and it ended up being transmission related I’ve made many videos about it and one of my latest video I talk and cover all the reliability issues but if you don’t wanna sped all day watching stuff I had an issue and then it was fixed at the dealership and it wasn’t that expensive I would say less than 1k USD but that was after a lot of abuse to the car
@@DRTURBO thanks, I’ll go through the videos since I’m struggling with transmission issues. Last month I had to replace the gasket and I’m assuming it’s because of the bad downshifting. I’m also in the UAE, if you could recommend good workshops you know please.
I recently test drove a mustang and Camaro. Both 4cyl turbo. Preferred the Camaro.
What did you get for your average l/100km?
I get 6.8 km/L on super fuel where I live which translates to 98 in other places I used to do 12 km/L when I was on the highway a lot.
Dude did you face any oil leaks ?
Yes I did when I first bought the car I had an issue with the gasket it was always leaking oil I tried something that was recommended to me which was steam washing however I saw no results to I changed the gasket at 33km and now I’m at 84km and thankfully I haven’t had any oil leaks since.
Thank you, any recommended workshop, because i will take American space, so it will not be under warranty
Yeah mine is also American specs, stick to al qouz if you are in Dubai.
@@DRTURBO thak you dude
in Europe the mustang ecoboost could have been a best seller
Ok but what’s itfeel like? Put me in the seat…When do I feel the turbo kick in? How much of a rush is this to drive? Why?
Okay I can’t really tell you how it feels but I can tell you this the rush you get when you put it in track mode and you step on it and there’s a little corner coming up and you know you can trust the steering because it always does exactly what you want it to do ( don’t get me wrong it’s no Ferrari) you go into the corner and lose a little traction correct it and step on it again at that point you’re a little sweaty and you just wanna scream so that’s the rush you get and in my opinion it’s something I experienced only in this car the turbo on the other hand depends on the day to be honest sometimes it’s good and extremely responsive and other times it’s just a little delayed it’s definitely beautiful to drive if you can get over some of its mechanical issues. I hope that answers your questions and I’ll also make a video and try to add more angles and involve more driver feeling things 😊
Wow, 37 degrees...so extreme! 😂
Yeah buddy when humidity is up to 99% it gets a little hot and it reaches up to 50 degrees Celsius most of the summer days😂
So yes it gets extreme I promise 😂😂
I thought these things did 0-60 in about 5 seconds...guess not
The hp 330 hp is the special mustang
Yeah they have the “ high performance package” that gives the car extra 25HP but I think that that package only comes with 2019+
@@DRTURBO "High Performance Package" Comes with a de tuned Focus RS 2.3L,. It's different from the standard 2.3L in the ecoboost. They make some weird options and decision, just make 1 flipping engine and don't de tune ;)
@@Dante_S550_Turbo Its just a slightly larger turbo, its the same engine from the regular Ecoboost Mustangs from 2019 and newer.
@@lynex83 ah okay, makes sense since the rs was done.
Good English. I'm in the UAE
Thank you :)
Best car for 20k .
Why were you acting like "feels like 46" degrees is cold? Thats summertime in Michigan son, im out here skiiing in my ecoboost in "feels like -10" degrees lol
46 degrees Celsius which is 115 F and that’s no where near cold I’m pretty sure I make it clear that it’s hot almost all year round I’ve lived in extreme heat and I’ve also lived in extreme cold so I understand what you mean but that is not what I said 😊👍🏼

@@DRTURBO Do u fill it up with 93 or 87, I see they say 93 for optimal performance but I’m poor and idk
93 is the better option for performance and blah blah but you can use 87 it’s fine and nothing bad will happen and it’ll still perform really well the difference isn’t worth the price difference anyways
@@DRTURBO Thank you for the advice, do u still have the mustang or was this for a video?
No worries bro I have the 2016 mustang in Dubai and in America I have a 2022 mustang so I have them both and they’re both good so far
Looks up price of gas in uae
My 2018 mustang goes 0-60 in 4.8 lol
Yes it’s an ecoboost
Has it for 2 years and still done nothing to the exhaust..🤦🏻♂️
Unfortunately where I live everything is very very very expensive and it’s illegal to change exhausts so I’m not really into paying big fines you know? 😊
@@DRTURBO It's completely illegal in Washington State where I live, and not I nor any of my friends have ever been pulled over or gotten any tickets for aftermarket exhaust work.
Yeah I live in the UAE and rules are rules here there’s cameras and police everywhere not worth the fine.
Its 4.5 seconds but alr
Not this POS
Something wrong with you car mine completely stock 0 to 60 5.2
The ecoboost engine it only takes the expensive ⛽️ gas if you put regular 89 gas it will damage the engine. So this engine is no good.😅 plus its a 4 cylinder the 6 cylinder is better.
