Well I have over 5000 miles on my 2.3 manual. It hasn't done me wrong and has zero problem doing anything I've thrown at it. It's been getting close to 21 mpg since new. It is a dog tho. It's not "fast" by any stretch. People using the word "adequate" is a correct one word summary. It's not going to do much more than this word implies. This is my third 2.3 I. Three different vehicles. In the Ranger and Mustang it was awesome, and quick. In the Bronco, due to it being over 5000lbs, adequate. Lol That being said, my fleet manager called me today and said my 2.7 badlands had now been produced. So I'll soon have one to compare. As for people saying the 0-60 times are close.... .5 seconds on a zero to sixty is not that close. By the time you hit the 1320ft... It's a bus. A noticeable bus.... Lol
