Well, I did 6000 km in Mustang Ecoboost 2023 and I must say it's a hell of a car. Fast, it gets attention, it looks, it's great to drive and fuel consumtion is around 26-27 mpg (9-10 l/100 km). Is it slower than GT? Yes! Is it having a half of cilnders of GT? Yes! But... it's still Mustang that gives you chills everytime you enter the car and turn the engine on. ;) Love it for every highs ans lows!

Now this guy is the type of drivers that we all need to be following on KZread. None of these Matt Farrah, TJ Hunt, or Stradman guys. Why? Because this guy can actually DRIVE REALLY WELL!

I own a 2.3 hpp manual and I can assure that this car leaves no frustration...I can match 5.0's all day on drags, sometimes I win (if they are manuals as me), most of the times I lose, but it's always close and not embarrassing at all, quite the opposite BTW, ppl get impressed how powerful this mustang can be...you won't get the heavenly sound of the v8, that's true. But if u can live with that, the HPP is a perfect daily drive in my opinion. On top of that, I can endure a whole week before hitting the gas station, and I like to push it on straight lines and dragging on the lights (when it's safe, lol)...anyways, it's not a fight, it's more like choosing whats the best fit for you buck and need! They're both amazing cars and deserve respect for what the brand mustang represents. Peace yall!!

The Coyote engine weighs less than 50 lbs more (closer to 30) than the 2.3 turbo and makes a lot more power (460 hp/420 lb ft) from the factory. It also has a lot more performance potential than the 4 cyl. Really no compelling reason to go with the 2.3L. Ford doesn't make the Focus anymore and that's not a bad thing. Mustang v8 time on the ring is faster than the Focus RS too (7:58 compared to 8:06). The v8 will also still be working long after the 2.3 is worn out.

i just got my 2022 ecoboost high performance with handling package in a ten speed automatic. I absolutely love it. is all the car ill need for autocross, easier to push on a street without causing a scene, and i saved the extra 10k to get a similar trim on a v8.

There is no comparison between the V8 and the Ecoboost. But I drive a mildly tuned Ecoboost, it's reasonable and fun when I need it to be. It's been said, but the concept of it being more like an s13 descendant does it more justice than comparing to V8 cars. I would love a V8 car, but as a middle class car guy, the Ecoboost just makes a lot of sense on multiple levels.

Great review and comparison. I own a 2016 Mustang GT in the States that I bought used, and it already had an intoxicating Roush exhaust on it, which sold me. With the right wheels and suspension setup, it holds its own in the corners pretty well too!! Definitely hard to beat for the price.

Niiiiiiice video. As far as track day- turbo. It's a lighter car and should carry speed better into and out of the corners. As far as every day driving, V8. Comfy, solid engine, no tricks (naturally aspirated), and, dammit, it's one of the last generations of the mechanical muscle beasts. Love them both. Think they kick serious arse. Was surprised at the results. This video must've been a blast to make. Thanks!

Great driving! All around the chassis on this gen Mustang is very impressive. The V8 is just amazing but I live in Southern California where our self-serving politicians and our President have really hiked up the price of gas. The irony is that we have some really fantastic driving roads over here. Because of that, for me and my money it would be the 2.3 High Performance Package with the Handling Package with a 6-speed manual. I think the 6-speed manual really suits the character of this engine and the money I save in gas means I can drive more. Also, I don't know if there is a difference between the exhaust between the 2.3 High Performance here in the States and in Australia, but the 2.3 HP over here actually sounds pretty good, and it does have crackles and pops. I am impressed so much with this car I am trying to add it to the collection. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Both cars gave a good showing. V8 obviously sounds better. Also noticed that the Michelin tires were much quieter than the Pirelli's, which screamed in torture the entire circuit. Had the GT had the magnetic dampers, it might have even beat that Supra.

Ford to do something, sales were way down, enthusiasts and consumers were rejecting the 4 cyl.

Good balanced review. I think at the end of the day the GT is the most desirable option, especially on the track. As a daily driver though the 2.3 might be more justifiable (albeit still a compromise) especially as the GT is such a revy engine whereby you can break the speed limit in 2nd gear (where the fun is). One would be tempted to shorten the diff in this case to enjoy more high revs at road speed. The useable low end torque on the 2.3 will be utilised on road. It's just such a pity they haven't nailed the noise of the 4 pot, maybe there's some good aftermarket exhausts around or opportunity to refine next ford upgrade as the did with the V8 in last update. Ideally the old 5 cylinder RS motor would have been awesome as the 5 cylinder sound is so unique and would of absolutely set it apart from everything else. I suppose that motor was retired in the focus for good reason ( prob emissions). Anyway great review would be awesome to have a "daily driver" comparison review to see if the gap between lessens, Cheers.

The thing about the ecoboost is, not 1 will stay unfettered with. You buy a COBB and JUST with the stage 1 with no other mods and the car is transformed. You do intercooler with just a K&N panel filter with an E30tune which is cheap as chips and the thing is near on 380hp and still much lighter. it really does put the engine part back above the Focus RS position and give the car that bit of character. WHich imo is not as much a charmer as the GT on the streets but something that you will enjoy more on track and on a windy mountain road. mid gear pull on a decent E30 tune will pin you back hard. very hard.

Turbo 4 with an auto on the track? Gross.

I'm surprised the weight difference isn't bigger... I would never limit myself like that. For another 12-15k you could put a big supercharger on the v8 and be running low 9's high 8's with some drag slicks... the turbo would need an engine rebuild for that

Very interesting review. Is the colour of the GT "carbonised grey". Looks good! I've been thinking about buying the GT and this review really helps.

I have a 2021 Ecoboost I picked the exact same colors, and love it!

Good point, bring back an updated Capri.

Far out these Turbo Charged Mustangs are quick as hell when compared to the V8. Looking at the V8 numbers you would think the performance would be heaps better. But when we see Mercedes making a 4 Cylinder with 425 HP makes you think technology has advanced a lot.

I need that roar

NA ALL DAY. Traction improvement is due to laggy crappy turbo power curves, its easier to traction control an NA V8 also power pulses are 2x more per revolution = more spread out = less tyre stress/peak load.

Mustangs are born to be powerful. Can’t compare the barking 2.4 vs the roaring V8. Its like the Rock on extreme diet losing his muscles and then put him on a costume simulating his muscles. Engineers, you can’t made better what’s already the best. It is what it is. American cars are made to be powerful and thunderous, so…..don’t steal their soul. If you want to be creative, get a Ecosport and do something crazy. Mustangs, Camaro’s , Corvettes, Cadillacs and many others should remain V8. Other than that…..nice counterfeit cars.

A set of summer tires drastically improves the grip and handling of these cars.

Man the tyre squeel from the Pirellis is enough to make the decision of which car to take!

Beautiful track 💪.....

Reminds me of the Tefal adverts from the 80s

Around the corner the ecoboost has it all day but when they reach a straightaway that 2.3 is done for

The 5.0 is unthinkable here in Portugal(100k vs Eco 50k...taxes), but finally you can own a Mustang here, beginning to save for one...

Hey Mate, here in America we use Horse Power and Torque, it would be nice if you told us in US. Cool video, I have 14 turned Fiesta ST with stickie Michelin Pilot Sport tires, my ST would on there donkey on that tight track. The Fiesta Flash.

I’m a week away from getting one and while I would love to get say a GT500, gas in SoCal is so bad it’s either an ecoboost or a Toyota. I have a classic that has the V8 and even once it’s done being restored I won’t daily driver it. Don’t have those worries so much with a new 4 cylinder pony and it’s helluva lot easier to insure than the 69. I’m aiming to get it in white to match the nice new Oxford White I had put on the 69.

That car is a base one. It does not have the handling package with magna ride. You can tell by the rims. The handling package has the performance pack 2 front rims.

V8 just for the sound alone

I have a 2015 GT 50th edition. Tried out the eco but I didn’t like the sound, if I wanted a 4 cylinder sound car I’d go for some jdm

The tires alone are worth seconds in lap time. Pirelli’s are trash the PS4 are twice the tire and you can hear the difference alone.
