Looking for Opinions on My 2016 1.5 EcoBoost

I’d love to hear your thoughts on my 2016 1.5 EcoBoost! I’ve had it for almost three years as my daily driver, and it’s sitting at around 86,000 miles with no issues—just regular maintenance and recalls handled ASAP. I’m now considering performance and aesthetic mods. Been a long-time lurker on this page, but finally decided to post.

It’s a 1.5L. Just keep it maintained and drive it normally. Don’t dump too much money into it.

Second best color!

What do you consider the best? I’m really into the bronze fire and that purple you sometimes see.

Ruby Red Metallic is definitely the best, with burgundy and bronze close behind.

The depth of the ruby red really stands out.

Don’t expect much performance from a 1.5, as it can have issues with cylinder walls collapsing. You have a nice daily driver, so make it how you want and take care of it.

Bronze Fire is the same paint as mine. I also have the SE EcoBoost; it’s a fantastic car. We might have the same car.

I have a 2015 Fusion with a 2.5 engine and 250k miles. I really like your car. Just keep up with oil changes, and it should serve you well for at least another five years.

Love the color! I’d suggest ceramic tint, titanium style headlights with LED daytime running lights, and maybe a honeycomb grill. Also, don’t forget synthetic oil changes and a transmission drain and fill for fresh 6F35 fluid.
