I'm back baby! After being gone from these forums for a few years, I may be getting back into an EcoBoost vehicle. I had some questions and this is THE place to go for info, in my experience. I bought and sold a bunch of cars after I parted ways with my MKS EcoBoost. Went through divorce, and maybe a touch of midlife crisis vehicle purchasing lol. But with things settling down, I need a vehicle with some more room. And I don't want to be bored to death driving to work every day. So I'm looking for vehicle recommendations. I don't want to do another MKS or SHO. I never really fit right with the seating position in the MKS. But here are the things I'm considering:
2013+ Explorer Sport (Test drove an awesome 2016 today actually)
2015+ Edge Sport
2017+ Fusion Sport
2016+ Lincoln MKX 2.7 EcoBoost
(non-ecoboost vehicles)
2014+ Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 Hemi
2015+ Dodge Charger R/T
2015+ Chrysler 300S Hemi
How is the tuning scene with the 2.7 EcoBoost these days? I know the 3.5 is a beast. Are the cars I listed with the 2.7 just as good nowadays? The cars listed with the 5.7 Hemi would not be as fast as some of the EcoBoost cars after tuning. But they are super comfy, and don't need high octane. Are there any other decent cars to consider? I thought about the 2014+ Cadillac V-Sport with the twin turbo 3.6 liter V6. But they seem a tad less reliable, and pricey.
