    What bothers me most about little engines like the 1.5 is turbo failure at around 60,000 miles or so. They need the turbo to produce adequate power and so many customers experience turbo failure after a few years. Not a cheap fix.

     

    Yeah, I mean I had an 89 probe gt, 2.2 l turbo.  only had 160k mile when I traded it.  original turbo.   They must have gotten worse since then

    My F150 3.5LEB loafs along at 1200 rpm most of the time thanks to the 10 speed tranny and available low end torque even going up small hills.  That plus auto stop start and aggressive deceleration fuel cut off make it easy to get 25+ mpg and still tow 12K and 3K payload.  Fancy engine tricks not needed.

     

    You mean like turbo charging, Di, variable valve timing, hell ecoBoost is practically a flathead ?

    There's a certain part of my anatomy I (or my wife) would have cut off LOOOONG before we ended up with 10 kids.  Don't get me wrong, I love my kids, but I don't have enough sanity to spread it around for 10!

     

    I have heard, though, that the more kids you have, the generally better behaved and calm they are as a whole.

     

    No you just cant keep track of all the crap they do.  Ignorance is bliss
