Overview & Reviews
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.
- Quiet and comfortable ride, agile handling, potent V6, all major safety features are standard, roomy cabin.
- Questionable brakes, lackluster interior design and materials, low maximum cargo capacity.

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!

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.

Better Brakes - 2008 Ford Edge
By PM - August 26 - 11:00 amThis is only the second Ford I have owned in 35 years. Never cared for their stylings until now. Am enjoying everything about this car except the braking distance. I live in a deer prone area and have had four accidents due to them over the years. I really need great brakes! The Edge must improve in this category. Cant believe for the level of this automobile that Ford didnt have a higher standard when it came to such an important feature. Mileage isnt too bad, but can still be improved upon.

Edge - Best find so far - 2008 Ford Edge
By TASully - August 25 - 3:33 pmJust got an Edge Limited (no nav) and I am extremelly impressed with the car. Looks great and rides even better. Tons of room in the back seat and very comfortable seats. A/C and brakes seem fine to me, no problem at all so far. Sync is awesome - reception is better than mobile and convenient. Panoramic view is super-cool, kids love it! Its been a long time since Ive come home with a car without some buyers remorse - not this time!

Great Vehicle! - 2008 Ford Edge
By MacAtac - August 14 - 4:23 pmTruly designed with the driver in mind. From the amenities and comfort of the interior to the way it handles and performs on both city streets and open highways, this is one impressive vehicle! Acceleration and maneuverability beats Saturn, Chevrolet, Toyota and Honda in comparable class vehicles and at a great price. We purchased the base model SE, but all the extras like MicroSoft Sync, top of the line sound system with a 6 CD changer, radio and cruise control in the steering wheel, roof rack, anti-theft system, etc. this vehicle is in a class of its own. The ride is extremely comfortable cruising at 70 mph feels like youre going 30 or 35 and bumps are almost unnoticeable.

The most room for a crossover - 2008 Ford Edge
By courtney - August 13 - 2:32 pmI love my Ford Edge. The room in it is amazing. The most room youll find for your money. And this is one of the most affordable SUV/CUVs. I have 2 kids and this fits all 4 of us comfortably
