As an observation, I have noticed the Duratec 30 engine (even in 220bhp form) seems to be lacking in every area against the competition, and as a result I can’t help but think Ford could have made a better engine?
If you compare it against engines of similar power outputs, the Duratec V6 seems to be behind in fuel economy, emissions, torque and ultimately its power band. The only aspect I think wins hands down is with its reliability (as far as I know) and soundtrack.
Is this the case, if so why - if not; what am I missing?
