The 1.6 is built in Spain. The writer told me that they just found out the other day that there were overheating issues during development that Ford did NOT fix, they built the engines anyway..........BAD move.
This is going to seriously hurt the Ecoboost reputation across the board, the 3.5 is not issue-free either.
