The 2008 Ford Edge gets more luxury and convenience features. Highlights include Ford's "Sync" system (which allows voice operation of cell phones, PDAs, MP3 players and USB storage devices), an optional power liftgate and a voice-activated navigation system. This year also sees a new Limited trim level, which replaces last year's SEL Plus.

Outside mirrors - 2008 Ford Edge
By edgeowner - January 1 - 10:24 amI am 52" and have problems seeing over or around the outside mirrors. It seems as though they are too large for the vehicle. They create a horrible blind spot, which makes me very nervous while driving. I have tried raising the seat, but then its difficult to reach the pedals and I crack my knee on the steering column when I get in and out of the vehicle. I ask my boyfriend to drive the car to get his feedback. He is 59" and agreed he thought they were larger than normal. He drives a F-150 truck. Prior to owning the Edge I had an Explorer and never had this problem.

Im in love. - 2008 Ford Edge
By Crazy for the Edge! - December 15 - 8:58 pmAfter owning several foreign cars and SUVs, about 1.5 years ago I purchased a new Ford Explorer. I hated everything about the thing. I told myself over and over again I would never purchase another American-made vehicle again, I thought it was such a mistake. Then I came upon the Edge. It is unlike any Ford I have ever known. It is gorgeous inside, love the two tone! Its so fun to drive and handles so well! I feel really safe in it. I love the leather, its not that cheap plasticy leather, and I love the stitching. Super roomy. I was really shocked at the price - very affordable. After seeing the success with the Edge, I hope Ford re-designs all of their vehicles. Thanks Ford!

Lookin Good - 2008 Ford Edge
By Granny - December 12 - 9:28 pmWe joined the "buy American" movement and purchased an Edge just after a good working over by the local Toyota dealer. Wow, I am impressed with the ease of maneuverability, the sound system, the sun roofs, and the seats base-length- finally a seat that extends out far enough and doesnt cut off the circulation in ones legs. The second row seating is also unusually comfortable for this type car. Only had it a week, but so far, its outstanding.

I love this Crossover! SYNC! - 2008 Ford Edge
By yardiegirl - November 3 - 12:26 pmThis is just too cool! I really like the exterior design. I chose the cloth interior. Its not as soft or nice as it could be but, it looks durable and they are comfortable. I would recommend the interior/exterior insurance package if you get the cloth seats. Im loving the SYNC! It was easy to program and it downloaded phonebook from my cell in less than a minute. It was easy to plug my Ipod in and it charges. The Sirius satellite is nice but, I dont really need it. The sound system is great! The space is great. The drivers side window is auto up and down. Parking is too easy with the Reverse Sensing System. I love this crossover!

Glad we choose the Edge - 2008 Ford Edge
By On the edge - October 7 - 11:04 amAfter looking at several models of CUV/SUV, including Pilot, Veracruz, CX9, Toyota Highlander, we decided that the 3rd row was the dealbreaker and went looking for something smaller. I am so glad we did. We decided on the Limited model with the Sync/Sirius/6 cd and the leather interior. I really like the two tone interior and the contrast stitching on the seats. We are just back from an 1800 mile trip and the Edge performed wonderfully. Very comfortable on the long ride and plenty of room. Gas mileage was not great, but driving 80+ MPH will do that. My first new car in 12 years and glad Im on the Edge!

A++ - 2008 Ford Edge
By Brooker - September 28 - 5:15 pmMy husband and I test drove many crossover SUVs when we were searching for a new car and when we happened upon the Edge, it was love at first site. Its roomy enough for my husband, who is a large guy, to sit in either the front or back comfortably and the panaramic sunroof is great. But most importantly, its fun to drive! Keep producing this king of vehicle Ford, you hit a homerun with this one!

Love My Edge - 2008 Ford Edge
By Patricia - September 22 - 9:45 amI love my Edge. Im a little nervous. Its in the shop after only four weeks with transmission problems. Im hoping its a fluke thing and when its fixed I will regain my confidence in the car and will still love it.

Wow, Ford built a winner - 2008 Ford Edge
By Terry - September 14 - 1:50 pmI bought my Edge after a very bad experience with a Toyota. I have had my Edge for only three weeks and have over 3,000 miles on it. I drove it from Michigan to Maine on vacation. The Edge handled flawlessly. It was very comfortable and except for a little wind noise at 45-50 mph from the outside mirrors is was like driving a luxury car. The looks, vista roof, audio system and overall driving experience still make me smile. There were no issues of quality at delivery. There are none now. I hope this is an omen of things to come. It looks great,it handles well, is very comfortable. As long as I stay around 70 on the road I get about 24.6 miles to the gallon. Good Job Ford.

Im in love! - 2008 Ford Edge
By EH78 - August 27 - 4:00 pmAfter having our first baby three months ago we decided we needed something bigger. I usually have my husbands help but he will soon be deployed so I needed something big enough to carry everything and anything (including two Ridgebacks). I had looked at several SUVs (Honda, BMW, Toyota, Hyundai etc.) and settled for the Edge.
