2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost: Who needs a V8? from Road & Track
Member's, What do you think of this Mustang Turbo 4 ? Would you like to have a 4 Bang'in Turbo in your Monte Carlo ?
2.3-liter EcoBoost under the hood

It's an issue of perception. The EcoBoost is overshadowed by big brother, but it doesn't deserve to be. BY ZACH BOWMAN

Thanks `Keane & Barbara for your posts.
Yes, there's nothing like the power & sounds of a good V8...It's some of the best music in the World...
I'm just thankful that we have so many choices in vehicles & engines...
"2 each there own & what they can afford"
I would love to test drive them `all...One of the guys @ work has a 3 cylinder Ford Fiesta & he has a blast with it...He said he would let me drive it & I hope to soon. He passed me in my company truck & that little car appeared to run pretty good

Well the wife goes and buys a 2013 Chevy Equinox back 2 years ago nice ride its a 4 cyl. got the ECO boost also.
So in 2014 We took it on vacation to the Black Hills, Montana, Yellowstone, Tetons.
It performed wonderfully I was really pleased, its roomy, comfortable, and has plenty of power.

My brother has a 2012 Cruze. It's zippy for a 4 banger, but so is the N/A 4 banger that Nissan puts in their Altimas. They've been putting out at least 175 hp for the 4 cyl Altimas since 2003.
Once my truck is paid off, I'm seriously thinking about an Altima or Rogue or something like that. Something with a 4 banger that I can use as a long range storm chasing vehicle with better fuel mileage than the truck.
