Yeah, but thats got Honda reliability. When ford says "lifetime timing belt" its the lifetime of the belt which dictates the lifetime of the engine, not the other way around. It doesn't look like it was designed to ever be changed. We'll see how this plays out when these engines hit the 100k mile mark.

I do like the fact that the 1.0L Ecoboost is only available with a manual transmission in the US.
