  Ford Finally Has A Winner! - 2008 Ford Edge
  By Dennis/Linda - May 30 - 8:45 pm

  My wife and I traded a 2006 Toyota Camry XLE for a 2008 Ford Edge Limited. We were afraid to commit to American, because their track record was not the greatest. We decided to check out the Ford Edge since we were in the market for a new CUV. We looked at all the competition, and we decided to buy the Edge. We have to take our hats off to Ford. We believe Ford finally has a winner with this Edge. This car is absolutely amazing! Excellent feature set, great design, fantastic build quality, what more can you ask for. Compared to the competition, we believe they truly have an "edge." Im happy to support the American economy, now that Ford has a solid product.

  Love My Edge - 2008 Ford Edge
  By maljoe - May 29 - 2:34 pm

  I test drove many vehicles before I settled on the Edge. You get a lot for the money.I had three requirements, comfort, quiet and hauling capabilities. It fulfills all three. The gas mileage is better than stated. I absolutely love the ride.

  I love the Edge! It is so much fun to drive. I looked at other crossovers but this one is the best in the market. I only have 800 miles on it right now and I am getting 19/20 ish city and 24 hwy. I avg a little over 22. All the features are amazing! I love the Vista roof especially and the Sync!

  New Ford owner - 2008 Ford Edge
  By jgrau - May 15 - 11:37 am

  First time Ford buyer. Loved the looks, the comfort, the performance. Sat in other SUVs including Lincoln and Lexus, no difference. I actually liked the Edge better. After 1,000 miles, I like it even more. Who knew I would become a Ford believer. What a solid vehicle!

  Living on the Edge - 2008 Ford Edge
  By john lindgren - May 12 - 12:13 pm

  I am a truck guy who has no ATV or any other reason for a box anymore. I do still have a 18 bass boat, that I would not be able to get to the lake with out something with enough power. The Edge has plenty of that! The quality of this car is tight. It makes my wifes 06 Toyota Sienna seem like an old rattle trap. Gas mileage is the reason for the purchase, and Im pleased. Sticker said 17 city and 22 on the hwy. I avg a liitle over 20, and have already got as much as 24.4 at about 73 mph on the interstate. Like everyone says? it may get better. I only have 1500 miles on it so far.

  I love living on the edge - 2008 Ford Edge
  By cHocOhOLicC - May 11 - 10:01 pm

  My husband and I bought the Edge after my 98 Ford Explorer. We needed a larger car, for we have long trips planned for this summer, but we had to consider the kids. They needed room! We got all options but instead of the vista roof, we ended up getting the entertainment system (dvd player). We love the roominess and space. The look seems sleek and nicer than other vehicles, a plus. We compared it to the Escape, and chose the Edge. The Escape rode higher and was thinner while the Edge rode lower and is wider, therefore the Edge had more room. Overall we are in love.

  Ford got it right! - 2008 Ford Edge
  By Lee Waters - May 11 - 8:50 am

  I recently traded my gas powered F-250 in for my new Edge. Im gonna say this is a cool ride. When total strangers come up to you, and often I might add, and ask if you like it...well that says a lot. Of course I tell them that I love it, then proceed to show them all the cool features. Then when they sit in it, you aught to see the smile on there faces. I love it. For me this is a really nice cuv. Its put together well, rides smooth, it catches the eye with its 20" wheels, and with the DVD player, satellite radio, and Bluetooth capabilities long trips are fun again! I think any one looking for a new cuv should give the Ford Edge a look.

  Improved Ford, still asking for more - 2008 Ford Edge
  By driver@FL - May 10 - 11:01 am

  I traded a 05 Freestyle for the 08 Edge. I test drove 09 Murano, Mazda CX-7, Acura RDX. Decided for the Edge because of the lower lease payments (+ X-plan), vista roof, and some other features. Exterior design also a plus. However I have to admit the 09 Murano drives much better and has a better finishing, unfortunately too expensive and premium fuel. The Edge engine and 6 speed auto-trans. is a huge leap from my old engine with the CVT. I read some reviews saying not refined, slow, etc.. for the Edge/MKX. Maybe not the best ever but I am very happy and suprised with its performance.

  Very happy with the 2008 Edge - 2008 Ford Edge
  By LisaK - May 3 - 9:57 am

  The Ford Edge fun to drive. Really hugs the road and turns on a dime. I have more confidence than with the extra long SUV we had before this. It does not shift too hard, its very good going up hills and getting on highways. I cant wait to drive it in the snow!

  What a Blast! - 2008 Ford Edge
  By DickDay - April 29 - 11:33 pm

  I have a really bad back, and am looking at surgery some day. I traded the 2007 Escape Hybrid in the 2008 Edge Limited because of the seating. The Edge seats are easy on my back and allow me to take long trips without back pain.
