Since none of us have driven the Bronco yet, what are you basing your perceptions on, that the Bronco does not have as good a ride quality and more interior noise than the Bronco Sport?Honestly I would have liked to be buying the 4 Door bronco as well, but its ride quality, interior noise
All of the above. Its personal conjecture of course, and not a stated fact.Since none of us have driven the Bronco yet, what are you basing your perceptions on, that the Bronco does not have as good a ride quality and more interior noise than the Bronco Sport?
Because the Bronco is Body on Frame (BOF) vs the Bronco Sport Unibody?
Because of the off-road suspension?
Because of the Removable Roof?
Or What?
Is the 2.0 prone to carbon build up with high octane fuel.Actually the 1.5 is both port and direct injected. My 2.3 in my mustang is as well. The 2.0 is not but it is a solid engine. Talking to one of my local dealers the 2.7 is one of the motors in service a lot. I have heard it is a problem.
This is the very first I have ever heard: the 1.5 Ecoboost 3 cyl engine from Ford is both direct injection -and- port injection? I would sure like to hear from others on this, as I am in the market for a small SUV and from what I can see and read all over the place, only the RAV4 has a normally aspirated 4 that has both direct and port injection. Can anyone with a Ford mechanical background clear the air on this post?Actually the 1.5 is both port and direct injected. My 2.3 in my mustang is as well. The 2.0 is not but it is a solid engine.

Both. The 1.5 in the BS, though, is not naturally aspirated.This is the very first I have ever heard: the 1.5 Ecoboost 3 cyl engine from Ford is both direct injection -and- port injection?

Brian, thanks for the thorough response. Is it correct to assume the port injection part of it will keep the valves from having the carbon buildup associated with direct fuel injection?Both. The 1.5 in the BS, though, is not naturally aspirated.

I'd imagine that's the goal, but time will tell. I certainly wouldn't let that keep me from maintaining the engine any differently than a strictly direct injection engine, but it should at least stave off the sorts of valve fouling issues that direct-only is know for.Brian, thanks for the thorough response.

Almost word for word, a Ford mech here told me that.....Actually the 1.5 is both port and direct injected. My 2.3 in my mustang is as well. The 2.0 is not but it is a solid engine. Talking to one of my local dealers the 2.7 is one of the motors in service a lot. I have heard it is a problem.
Say Brian, currently I have a 2014 CRV with the regular 2.4 engine and it has been a wonderful engine, still has full pep since I got it. You happen to know if that engine is simply port injected? I know now all CRV's have gone to the 1.5 turbo that has had bad issues with oil dilution.I'd imagine that's the goal, but time will tell.

Through all of my research to this end (I've got a base with the 1.5, after all,) the biggest bummer has been realizing that my wife's honda is overdue for a valve cleaning.
Not to derail, but from what I can tell the '14s still used the MPFI tech, so no worries.Say Brian, currently I have a 2014 CRV with the regular 2.4 engine and it has been a wonderful engine, still has full pep since I got it.
