Sounds like I was then... but atleast that resisted me from thinking about that 2017 Fiesta having a Ecoboost engine until now...
Fiesta with ecoboost is one of the best cars money could buy right now. Fantastic little thing. Smile inducing
The only reason I mentioned the 2017 Fiesta because I dislike the design personally. --- Post updated --- Also, meet the 50th anniversary Bullitt Mustang.
Also is more reliable, doesn't have a turbo that after spooling up negates any fuel economy gains and is probably a lot easier to maintain and keep going. 150 hp is enough to drive anywhere. You don't even need 90 hp to drive in the city comfortably.
Besides the running light that outlines the rear tail light, I don't see much that looks similar to the F-150. I actually see more Chevy in it with the angry looking squinty face it has going on.
"I rather have a Skyline" — 12-year olds who thought that Nissan's "supercar" can kill all supercars. OT: Arguably one of the biggest "brawls" of the automotive industry at the moment, which is kinda interesting.
One thing is for sure, the laferrari has the most power and the 918 has the least, but the 918 has AWD, and there are more 918s then there are P1s and LF’s combined (499 LFs, not sure how many P1s, and 918 918s) I personally would have the LF, as that is arguably the meanest looking out of the bunch --- Post updated --- Actually I’d rather have a skyline
I was right, looks better than the Expedited F-150 and GMC Terrain-styled Silverado. OT: Oh shit! It's horrifying, literally! (Seriously, that face looks scary.)
You realise the turbo actually makes the engine perform at a much higher volumetric efficiency, you're eliminating suction losses. It won't spool into major fuel consumption until you really put your foot down. Reliability? Not a fair comparison to take at face value. Compare two specific engines on similar mileages across lifetime, that's fair, just saying it's turbo so less reliable. Well your car is French so clearly unreliable, it's the same unfair comparison. Turbo really doesn't add a lot of complexity as it is, very little to maintain.
I know turbos make engines more efficient. But there's no way that 1.5 in the current Mondeo is going to have an easy life. A bigger NA engine is under far less stress over time, while delivering similar real-world economy. With a turbo you have to take more care such as making sure it cools off after extensive driving (which not many people do) and you are going to be replacing it down the road anyway.
Minus that the 1.5 was engineered to be turbocharged in the first place, literally the original drawing board brief was "design turbo engine". Turbo cool off time is mostly myth, particularly with a modern watercooled turbo, many factory setups almost run the turbo too cold
