[QUOTE="Doug Kaye, post: 1041217, member: 73761"] I could go either way on this - once had a turbo Subaru Legacy 2.5L, it didn't even notice the mountains, steady 70mph through everything - and it lasted until 225k and Cash for Clunkers, was still running great when I [URL='https://dkretzmann.blogspot.com/2009/07/farewell-my-subaru.html']turned it in [/URL]on a new shiny Honda. OTOH my son's WRX is great when it's working, but seems to have an awful lot of crotchets and foibles, we struggle to keep that turbo running well. The ST revs higher than I like on Vail pass, though that doesn't last very long. Even so I think about those plastic timing chain guides, every time I go up a mountain pass.. now that's more my speed.. hope for another 5-6 years out of the ST, then they should have worked the bugs out on the Maverick and secondhand ones will be starting to show up.. and it's a Ford, would like another Ford. Yes, I was flabbergasted to see the new Bronco starts with a 1.5L 3cyl turbo.. offhand this seems faintly ludicrous. The [URL='https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/1-5l-ecoboost-dragon-engine-review-by-car-and-driver.1048/']reviews [/URL]for that engine in the Escape are fairly good tho. Used to have a 1L 3cyl Geo Metro, the engine looked like a breadbox.. [/QUOTE]
