How about this Cobra... If you live between Florida and Texas, there might be additional reason to consider the 5.0 currently? PA gets pretty humid but I haven't had it as a complaint from a single customer up here. Not saying there hasn't been one... but I've sold far more than a handful of Fords with turbos. Actually, the only major issues with new cars I can think of in the past 5 years are as follows: Focus/Fiesta transmissions, a single Transit Transmission, a power steering unit on a fusion, and a few Explorers having navigation card reader issues (usually the cable that goes from card reader to computer was the problem). I think anything else never got back to me, so if there were issues, service took care of them easy enough that there wasn't a complaint.

Gentlemen, I hate to say goodbye. But, I've had enough of this discussion and would rather turn my attention to something more productive. Later, Gator!

Actually, there are millions of them on the road now.

So at least 51% are having problems?

My 3 trouble free ecoboosts is quite the opposite of the manure you're spreading.

Ok fellas, we've run our course here and now I have to shut it down.

Cobra, I think you've established a record for causing the most thread shutdowns in FTE history.
