Has anyone been in one of the 2.0L, Im very curious.

The Spanish-built 2.0-litre direct injection four-cylinder turbo produces 179kW of power and 353Nm of torque when the Falcon is filled with 95 premium unleaded.
That compares with 195kW and 391Nm – on lower-grade, regular unleaded petrol – for the Australian-built 4.0-litre six-cylinder

Haven't driven one, but all that power and torque (and no doubt better than 8.1l/100kms) transplanted into a classic Ford sounds like a match made in heaven to me.

I received a email from the owner of a local garage he took one for a test drive and thought it was fantastic, no personal experience though.

. . . and already configured for rear wheel drive straight from the factory.
That should save some time & money on a transplant I'd reckon.
Hopefully Ford can sell a few so we have a ready supply at the wreckers in years to come!

they will be fitted to mondeos anf focus's too so should be a good supply. Just need to get P platers behind the wheel and there will be heaps in wreckers yards!

Pity they've only sold about 3 ecoboost falcons and they way things are going aren't likely to sell many more. Wonder if they'll put the 4 into the Territory?

I read recently they are not selling that well. I wonder if its people thinking a little 4 cyl pulling the falcon just wont last?

Most people buy a ford or similar to tow a van and cruise long distances,a dinky 2 litre in a big car wont tow or cruise that good in my opinion ... I maybe wrong,but sales will tell and longevity of the spanish donk, city wise it should be ok but thats folks
