Today I give my reasoning as to why an EcoBoost Mustang is actually a fantastic car and better than a GT in a few ways. I currently own a 2020 Ford Mustang GT Base and I previously had a 2019 Ford Mustang EcoBoost 101a. I will be giving my reasoning to why a GT is better than an EcoBoost in a future video!

I appreciate everyones support on this video! Check out 5 reasons why a GT is worth the upgrade over an EcoBoost!

@ALM_Garage 2 жыл бұрын

I mean I feel like none of these reasons really matter compared to the GT! Sure it costs more and more to maintain but at the end it’s waaaaay worth it! No hate to the ecoboost but the GT is way more fun and enjoyable!

I bought a 2019 Ecoboost premium convertible about a month ago living in LA, and I love it. As someone who's never been a car guy and had been driving a 2012 Smart Fortwo, I feel great about the car. I do occasionally wish that I could get that great engine sound that the GT's have, but I also enjoy engine that little hissing sound the ecoboost makes when it takes off, and boy, does that car take off!

For me it's my daily driver so I went with an Ecoboost that had literally every option available ($8k) over a base GT. I get to enjoy all these sweet features I use daily over something a bit louder. With active exhaust on track it sounds nice without being obnoxious. If I had two cars perhaps I would have went with a GT. It's a compromise, but so is everything in life unless you're bezos rich.

@SuperGreetings

Ecoboost is just a joke for the name of the mustang cars

Ford did a banging job with the ecoboost 'stang! Probably one of the fastest 4-bangers in the market. The v8 'stang is an excellent bang4buck value though.

Excellent video! After years of practical cars (other than 2004 Thunderbird), traded my 2017 Fusion for a 2020 Mustang Eco Premium and no regrets. Always assumed I would get a 5.0 but in the end many of the factors you detail persuaded me the Eco is the better option for me. Mine came with the active exhaust, and since I’m not a hard-core exhaust sound person I’m content with it. Three months in and so far, so good. I hope you enjoy the GT, it’s still the “true” Mustang and I certainly respect it.

@cjhudrick3346

Hint…it’s not. NOTHING replaces the rumble of the V8. I don’t care if it’s faster or gets better mpg…the V8 rumble reigns supreme.

I settled with Base Ecoboost with HPP and Handling pack, 6 MT. One of the most engaging car to drive IMO after month of ownership. You just want to drive on twisty roads and keep shifting through gears. Magnaride not just makes handling better, but car handles even bad roads and potholes so comfortably, (way better than my Expedition). I have mixed feeling about MT though, shifter is not refined at all (compared to 2014 V6 PP I had in the past).

Just picked up an EcoBoost with the high-performance package. It has every possible available add-on included, touch screen, rims, even the handling package. It is KICKASS. It's time for people to stop bad-mouthing EcoBoost mustangs.

Bought my wife the same car as you only the ecoboost one. It's been a really fun car. I like to blow the door off the chevy truck guys at the stop lights with it lol. Her ecoboost is faster than most V8's on the road. Very fun car for $24k

I have 18 ecoboost and yeah I get hate from people but not v8guys I get hate from people that don’t even have mustang lol I just don’t listen to than lol

Oh man im glad you mentioned the engine bay difference. Its SO much easier to check thinks and work on the car. Taking the turbo out takes like 30min and theres hardly anything in the way. Try doing that in a Focus RS without hassle.

I live in a rural setting so I am getting better mileage. I went from a V6 Mustang to the 2.0 and was worried about the mileage. The best I have gotten was right at 30 mpg and that took work honestly. Average is 24-28 with normal driving. My insurance went up some but it was mainly due to a new vehicle versus an 8 year old vehicle. The best way to get a 5.0 is buy one used~I bought a 2020 used that was a rental vehicle-so it was $33K vs well over $40K-I have a convertible GT Premium. It still has plenty of factory warranty left. Lastly, I agree-a Mustang owner should never bag on another owner of an eco boost or V6. I bought my V6 because of cost and it was great. It was a 2012, also a used rental, bought in 2015-no issues-ran great. Bought for 15K including TTL, sold for 10.5K in 2020! Not bad-helped me to get my new one. Enjoy your car-I am!!!

When it came to my insurance from an Eco to a GT it only went up like $10 more. And yes the gas mileage is not as great in the GT but when it's advertised as 16mpg city and I'm getting 22.3mpg city, I'm pretty thrilled. Wouldn't trade my GT for the world! Congrats on the upgrade to the GT bro!

I have a 6 speed manual eco boost. In city/highway driving I’m averaging 31.4 on a 500 mile trip since I bought it. Shift between 2 - 2,500 rpm kick neutral before a stop light etc.

The GT sound is soooooo good! The car looks cool sounds great and is priced fair. (in normal times)

I recently bought a 2019 ecoboost and it's by far the funnest car to drive that I've owned. That being said if I had an ecoboost and a GT side by side and they were both the same price I'd go for the GT without thinking about it. Here in Canada the price difference was about 15k to 20k between them. So for me the only reason to get the ecoboost was price, I wanted an affordable sport's car, so I didn't care about fuel mileage etc..

I traded in a 2017 Mustang V-6 for a 2020 Mustang GT Kona with black accent package. My impression on the test ride of the Mustang GT was that the it gave a rougher ride and it felt like a tank. I was hesitate to also trade up due to the plastic oil pan on the GT. While I like the sound and power of the 5.0, I do miss the V-6 at times. The 3.7 was bullet proof--my 5.0 gave me a check engine light at 1,600 miles.
