I'm not sure what he was getting at. The 2.3 has been in service since 2015 or so, with tens of millions of street miles by now. Any research shows it's quite a robust engine that should last a good amount of miles. I keep my cars a long time too, so I understand your concerns. Other than a turbo to add complexity, its a regular ole 4-cylinder. I'm pretty sure it was designed with turbo charging from the onset, so I'd expect it well meets Ford's durability specs.Can someone elaborate on this ugly guts motion engine info? I've been leaning towards a base 2-door 2.3L manual. But I tend to hang onto vehicles like grim death, lol. In that case, is the 2.7L V6 a better option for me (even though it means missing out on the manual)?
The 2.7 is turbo as well, so I see no better advantage to that engine over the 2.3 regarding durability.
