Wife asked me why I bought it, I told her to read the first letter of each line.

>fixed or repaired daily

Wise choice Sir, wise choice

Get fucked faggot

Ass twisted GM fanboi

...but it's a 3,532 pound 4 cylinder?

Seriously, I have nothing against ecoboost, but why would they put it in such a fucking heavy chassis?

Butthurt gm fangirl

No idea how they managed to make it retard ham planet heavy when the STI is 3400 and the Evo is around 3550. But the 2.3 still is a great buy with the 3.55 gears.

I think it's because it's a dimensionally large vehicle.

>2016 Toyota Rav4: 181″ L x 73″ W x 66″ H
>2016 Honda CRV: 179″ L x 72″ W x 65″ H
>2016 Ford Escape178″ L x 72″ W x 66″ H

Why do American car companies make their coupes as big as SUVs? It's a fuckin coupe! It's suppose to be compact and sporty! Why do they all weigh nearly 2 tons and take up more space than a utility vehicle?!

Omfg... this is priceless.

The Ecoboost Mustang also weighs the same (or more) as these things!

>2016 Escape: 3,502 to 3,645 lbs
>2016 CRV: 3,358 to 3,624 lbs

Yup. Totally convinced to never buy an ecoboost. Hope you enjoy your 4-cylinder boat anchor, OP.

I've wondered about this too.

The numbers certainly seem ok for the car's weight, but making that much power and moving around that much weight with a stock 4cyl (even a large-ish one at that) seems a bit sketchy.

But I guess it's the big question with all the Ecoboost engines... how well will they hold up over time compared to their N/A counterparts?

I hate Fords as much as the next shitposter, but to be fair those aren't SUVs. They're glorified tall hatchbacks.

To be fair, they also have seating for 5 with cargo, ample foot and head room, and all-wheel-drive.

Tbqh senpai this was bait from beginning, hopefully I didn't rustle your Jim Jims too much m9

why are people bragging about things that mitsubishi did in the 90s?

>First On Race Day
Inb4 "At least they circled the problem"

The same reason people are bragging about things Ford did in the 60's.
Because it's true.

V8 >>> V6 >>>>>>>>>> Ecoboost Mustang

Nissan Z>>>>V8 >>> V6 >>>>>>>>>> Ecoboost Mustang

Only if 240Z

Why doesn't ford put the ecoboost v6 in the mustang?

The current gen Mustang is so much better than everything else in the price range.

Miatas and toyobaru do not compare

Mustang is just a better set up car. It feels better to drive

it'd compete too much with the V8

Their v6 ecoboost makes less power than their na v8.

get fucked faggots
