They kind of missed the mark by coming out with EcoBoost in a 6 cylinder instead of an 8. A 2.8L twin turbo v8 would do what a twin turbo 2.8L v6 would do, but not sound dumb. (Price and packaging, v8 loses, decision made.) Yes, I drive a 4 cyl. N/A hatchback and complain on the internet.

It sounds like a strangled sports car motor. Which it effectively is - the engine also used in the Ford GT, but detuned for torque. How reliable is the Ecoboost - assuming proper maintenance? An owner I met had one in his work truck, he was on his second Ecoboost truck, and he said that they lasted quite a bit better than his former truck, a Chevy with an LS. It just seems counter-intuitive that pushing the hell out of a small engine lasts better than letting a big engine loaf.

I have an 2011 SHO with the 3.5 ecoboost in it and it has been a very reliable engine. It has been re-tuned for the last 40k miles - and has seen probably 150 drag strip passes, 12-14 autocross events, and goes on at least two "cruises" a year where I beat on it pretty hard. The only issues to date that I have had (it currently has ~85k miles on it) have been a faulty oil pressure sender (10 minute job, 15 dollar part) and I did injectors on it (the '10-12 model years have a known issue with the stock injectors.) other than that it has never went wrong and I have been quite happy with the car. I figure over ten years of regular abuse that is a more than acceptable reliability. I did the injectors myself (wasn't too hard) and that cost me an afternoon and about ~600 in parts. As far as how it sounds - I have the stock exhaust on it - and removed the rear two mufflers and the car sounds pretty good. Sounds way better than the truck in this video - but lets be real - 90% of anything straight piped sounds like garbage.

In other words, you're playing to exactly the strength of a smallish turbo engine - short bursts at full-throttle, and allowed to rev - rather than long periods at 3/4 of full-power, and maybe expected to lug like a diesel.
