Top 10 Reasons I Love My EB '15

Thought you guys would like this video I made. It's specifically about the EB, but most of the things in my top 10 apply to all 15's.

I like the video but It almost seems like your justifying buying the eco-4 compared to the V8. I think I would miss the torque of the V8 compared to the eco-4. I do like how you pointed out all the benefits of the new model and it is growing on me. However, my next mustang will have the V8. I purchased mine as a daily driver and don't plan on modding my six. Again great video!!!

Someone mentioned the same thing in the comments. I have no idea how I come off as "justifying" the EB over a V8. I got rid of a V8 (coming off of a stream of owning 6 V8s), consciously, to get this car as a new project car... I don't have any reason to defend it, I'll be buying another V8 in a few years once they move past the Coyote engine. I merely stated facts about the engine (forged internals, direct injection, can beat Camaro SS and Challenger R/T when just tuned) and then expressed why it's an impressive motor.

I hope I'm not coming off as aggressive, I'm not mad or anything, just saying i'm confused regarding what about the video makes me come off as defensive about the EB.

I can answer this for you. I looked at both the GT Premium and Eco-boost Premium and tried this. Both cars operated with the remote to go down, but I was unable to get them to go back up with the remote. No one at the dealership seemed to know what I was talking about, or even what the global window option did. Maybe they do go up somehow, but I couldn't get it to function as the book stated.

Back on topic now, I really like what the ecoboost has to offer, and almost talked myself into one instead of the V8, but ultimately went for the GT when it was ordering time. Thanks for sharing your feelings on the ecoboost though. I feel they will keep it around for a while, so I may pick one up on the next replacement.
