Overview & Reviews
Crossovers with carlike ride and handling characteristics are perennially popular, and a good example of the breed is the smart-looking Ford Edge. It's a midsize crossover with seating for five. Thanks to its roomy interior, long list of amenities and available all-wheel drive, it's typically a good match for small- and medium-size families seeking a do-it-all utility vehicle.
In road tests, our editors have praised the Edge's quiet ride and advanced features like the MyFord Touch electronics interface, though as with most modern, in-car technology, there's a learning curve. Additionally, Ford offers a range of different engines in the Edge to appeal to crossover buyers seeking performance, fuel economy or a balance of both. Although the Ford Edge might not appeal to bigger families in need of high passenger capacity, it's a solid contender in most other respects.

Love it with reservations - 2007 Ford Edge
By Cubby - July 24 - 4:05 pmTheres a mystery clunk in the front end that occurs on almost all Edges the dealer tests - no fix for it yet. Vehicle rattles much more than I expected - on cracked and seamy pavement, over RR tracks - mostly the doors moving around. Worlds most illegible instruments. Ford should have used the Fusions instrument faces. Love the power train its more manipulable than youd think. Love the seats. Love the quiet 1400 rpm at 62 mph! Over 13 years Ive found my small-town Ford dealer to be excellent so good I drive there (about 30 miles) for oil changes! Mine is front-wheel drive. With the right snow tires (Yokohamas)its more than adequate, saves close to $2000 and improves mileage.

Sold Edge - 2007 Ford Edge
By bob - July 19 - 8:51 amAfter almost a year with the Edge we went back to a loaded 2007 Town & Country. Gas mileage is the same and the TC is 2X the size inside. The Edge is a great looking SUV but the interior build materials are simply horrible, 1 large flat hard plastic piece after another. And Ford was so cheap they painted many of the plastic interior pieces. Any time you say touch the glove box with a kids school bag or a shoe it puts a nice scratch on it. Our 18" rims were allready replaced after only 1 winter, they were all pitted out. Gas mileage is OK at 18-19 in town and 22-24 HWY, but the huge TC van gets the same. We simply couldnt live with the cheap KIA interior.

Could be more - 2008 Ford Edge
By Crashley - July 18 - 8:01 pmFeeling a bit let down. I see other crossovers (MDX, Acadia, Highlander) on the road and wish I had opted for one of those. The drive is nice and smooth ,and I do enjoy the Sync, nav system and power lift-gate. The airconditioning needs some help. Even on high, I keep reaching to turn it higher, and the airvents will not turn to blow directly in your face. Opening the sun-roof helps, but it is loud at higher speeds. You would think will all the hype over Sync, Ford would have invested in more speakers. 4 speakers standard and upgraded sound has only 6? Our Corolla has better sound! After 4 fillups, we are averaging 16mpg mostly city driving.

Good and Bad Edge - 2007 Ford Edge
By Florida Momma - July 15 - 2:00 pmBought the Edge last March and have been very happy, with just a couple of exceptions. The gas mileage is horrible. Granted, I live in Tampa and drive in the worst possible traffic, but Ford promised 18-22 MPG and Im lucky to get 14, and truly blessed to get 15. During the buying process, I turned my nose up at crossovers that avertised less than 18, and here I am getting 14 anyway. Also, I now have to replace my 2nd blinker bulb after 1.5 years. Ive never had to change a blinker bulb in my life before, and now this is twice in one year on the same car. Worries me a little on the rest of the quality. Time will tell.

Sweet! - 2008 Ford Edge
By Robert Jones - June 24 - 3:43 pmAfter looking at Saturn, Mazda, Cadilac, Buick, and Ford Crossovers, the Edge was and pleasant and impressive surprise. A great riding and handling vehicle with a well- engineer interior space to seat its riders. My wife was immediately drawn to the luxurious look and feel of the stone colored leather and the pearlescet white sand mica paint. The 20" tires with their chrome clad wheels gives the Edge a final touch of sophistication and well-connectedness. Engine is quiet and responsive with all the power you need. No jerkiness, no hesitation, and one of the smoothest transmissions weve ever experienced. Beats our Lexus RX330 all over the place. The panoramic moonroof-a real wowzer!

Overall good - 2007 Ford Edge
By Chris - June 5 - 12:24 amThe ride is excellent, enough room for my family. Mileage not very good. around 15-17 mpg in 100% city driving. Power is good and ride comfort is excellent. No wind noise no outside noise. Leather very nice. Overall very pleased with everything except gas mileage.

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

Heres a winner - 2007 Ford Edge
By F.Michael - May 10 - 6:03 amWife, 7 week old son, & I enjoy our little road-trips in the Edge. Cruising 70 to 75 mph isnt a problem courtesy of the 6 speed auto transmission. Solid build quality gives the feeling youre in a safe/well built crossover. Front-wheel drive is all thats needed (live in snowy WI). Very nice all around vehicle!

A little dissapointed - 2007 Ford Edge
By Nef - May 8 - 3:13 pmThis CUV is excellent looking, and very nice, we got the car and loved it, we had an Expedition before so we decide to go for better gas mileage. Well, its been a year since we bought it and Im not impressed with it. Im very forgiving when it comes to rating cars, the little blemishes found on the brand new car shouldnt been there. For an example, the door handles had a little mat in the cavity to cover up the bolt showing was gone the first time we vacummed the car, cheap and not the best way to design the car. The plastic covers in the back gate (lift gate) comes off when I close the gate. No foot rest for the driver.

Fine car - 2008 Ford Edge
By PIerre - April 24 - 8:15 pmI couldnt be happier with my Edge. Great visibility and looks. The 20 inch wheels look great too. What a pleasure to finally drive American.
