We have to do this every few months.

This question has less to do with the car and more with the engines.  I realize smaller displacement engines take up less room and should weigh less, so if you can get the same production from a smaller package, that is the way to go.

That being said, I've never had to maintain and upkeep a turbo 4 engine.  My son is looking to buy a car, he actually likes bigger sedans vice trucks, SUV or compacts.  Whatever, it's his choice and he's saved a bunch of money.  It'll be his first car, my sole goal is to help guide him towards a good use of his money.

Ford has an EcoBoost 1.5L which is showing up on several searches.  Does anyone have experience directly with that engine?

I realize many European manufacturers have been making turbo 4's for decades and many of them are now less than 2 liters.  Anyone have experience with upkeep cost on these smaller 4's?  I'm less worried about $60 oil changes than I am long term costs of the engine reliability.
