I was working at the company that built this car during the summer, fantastic bit of kit! I agree, these little ecoboost engines are very clever indeed. |

very impressive, reliability must be questionable at that output though and I would assume regular rebuilds are required. |

People have been running 200+bhp in charade gtxx/gtti's for years now although mpg at that power is low. My GTti does 55mpg if driven sensibly |

Id be interested to see what that lil ecoboost engine is like to drive when put in something as big as a mondeo. Not too bad really, it's the ones in transits that are the ones to watch! Edited by Amp on 13th Sep, 2012. |

Not too bad really, it's the ones in transits that are the ones to watch! almost funny (if it wasnt so enfuriating) when they announced they were putting a 1 litre in the mondeo, i stupidly decided to read the comments people were putting on the top gear website. It appears not many people have heard of the eco-boost engine yet. Usual comments like "1 litre, my saxo vtr is better" it was devistantly frustrating David. |
