I'm just not a fan of any gasoline engine that has a turbo--so to me that makes the Ecoboost a nightmare.
I'm sure they've greatly improved over time and perhaps they're the best and only way for quite a few, just not me.
They seem to be one more potential thing to go bad that aren't easily DIY repaired when/if they do act up. Then again they might go 300K miles completely trouble free. Reliability and (relative) ease of repair at tops on my list of wants.
As I say I'm probably in the minority about not lovin' turbo's.
