The verdict

What's good

  • EcoBoost four-cylinder returns genuinely good highway economy for a sports car
  • Wide aftermarket ecosystem means near-unlimited tuning and personalization options
  • Thick steering wheel and reclined seating position feel authentically sporty
  • Ford Performance Pack unlocks serious chassis capability without breaking the budget

What's not

  • Rear seat is usable only for very short trips or small children
  • Rear visibility is severely restricted by the thick C-pillar and small glass
  • Road and wind noise intrude noticeably at highway speeds versus the GT
  • Reliability history shows mixed results for early EcoBoost cooling components

The engine

EcoBoost

2.3L Turbo I4

Ford's 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo-four punches hard for its size — torque-rich and willing, whether boosting a Ranger, an Explorer, or standing in as the entry Mustang's engine.

The EcoBoost family was Ford's answer to downsizing: smaller turbocharged engines making big-engine power, and this 2.3 is a direct relative of the unit that powered the Focus RS.
