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.

New 2007 Ford Edge Owner - Fluid Leak! - 2007 Ford Edge
By stefrz - January 3 - 1:16 amWe purchased a 2007 Ford Edge SEL Plus on 8/31/07. Had less than 50 miles on it. This car is fast and handles nicely. Being a female, I like that it doesnt drive like a truck. I do have a serious complaint about this new Ford Edge. For the last 3 weeks Ive been seeing red fluid on the ground where Ive parked. My husband brought the car to Ford this week and the repair receipt shows "CK red fluid leak, right center firewall area.A/C drain dripping on exhaust bracket causing red rust". It turns out the bracket is rusted from the A/C.The service guy at Ford said hes never seen anything like it. He told us not to park on inclines on days we use the AC. My driveway is on an incline!

Whiny. Whiny! - 2007 Ford Edge
By Mary - December 31 - 10:31 amGreat curb appeal and comfortable. Thats about it. City driving gas mileage averages around 15mpg - not much better than my 2004 Explorer. Difficult to see outside or rear window - back headrests block view. However, most troubling is the constant whining which dealership attributes to the fuel pump. Sorry. they say, there is nothing we can do. Because its a new model, Ford has little documentation on this problem.

Model T Seat Comfort - 2015 Ford Edge
By R. Cochrane - December 30 - 10:21 pm2015 Ford Edge is a great looking car; but looks can be deceiving. If you want cloth seats you can not buy the Titanium upgrade (which only has leather; but boasts variable drivers seat controls). So opt for cloth which I did with the base model and the drivers seat has little or no control for comfort adjustments. The seating is rock hard and offers very little to make it accommodating or enjoyable. The tiny screen that displays the rear view camera image is a waste... so small you need glasses to use it with any accuracy. I dont both using that image generated by the otherwise clever rear-view camera. I cant get better than 23.9 mpg after 6,000 miles and I am a conservative driver with no lead foot by any means. I like the size of the Edge when compared to the smaller Escape or larger Explorer. I am leasing and have about 2 plus years to go on this. My thoughts at this point are to look outside the Ford or Lincoln family for next lease to see if I can find an SUV/Crossover with much better front seat comfort.

An Edge Indeed! - 2007 Ford Edge
By BC in the D - December 30 - 1:26 pmI was waiting for the Edge to come out since the lease was up on my 500. I was a little concerned that Ford couldnt seem to get them out of the plant, but I will assume caution was the order of the day and will say I am glad I waited. The interior is church quiet and the ride incredibly smooth. Thanks to the new 6 speed transmission you are at 1900 rpms at 70 mph. Just cruising. The new 3.5 liter engine is very smooth and provides plenty of punch. The leather front seats are nicely styled with contrast stitching and hold you firmly. The ride is excellent. As good as or better than a top notch sedan. The exterior styling is strong and fresh. Ford got this one right. No joke.

Room for improvement - 2013 Ford Edge
By Sharon Machicek - December 23 - 7:07 pmMy biggest piece of advise on this SUV......drive it at night time before you buy it, because night visibility is horrible!! Front seats are not comfortable but back seats are great. Love how the back seats recline. Were a family of three so plenty of room. Love how fast it accelerates in "sport" mode. Ride can be a bit rough, but 22s will do that. Ive had a couple issues with the driver side door not registering its closed. Had to take it in on two separate occasions to have it fixed. Had a sensor go bad & back up camera stopped working so had to be replaced. Overall I like my Edge Sport, but the lights on it are ridiculously bad. Would I buy it again....no. Looking forward to the day I trade it in.

Love It! - 2007 Ford Edge
By chip - December 17 - 4:38 pmVista roof..amazing! Nav system..awesome! Seats are very comfortable for long drives and heated seats work wonders on your rear side! Heater works really fast. Big plus for cold western winters. love the look and how quiet the car rides. Handling is great as well. It doesnt get the best gas mileage but thats what you can expect with an SUV. Love the car

Great, but - 2007 Ford Edge
By CliffsEdge - December 15 - 8:34 pmWe own or have owned 2 competing vehicles this year. Picked the Edge based on payment & 98% on looks. My 07 Hyundai Santa Fe & 08 Hyundai Veracruz are leagues above the Edge in build quality, refinement & pamper level. Edge is quite quick, handles nice. Lots of looks, comments from other drivers. But if one doesnt care so much about looks, the Santa Fe or Veracruz are simply night & day in quietness, refinement, smoothness & quality. A difference likened between Toyota Rav4 VS BMW X5 V8. The Edge is nice to drive & acceptable. The Hyundais are simply impressive every time you drive them. Id have to say they are 3 - 5 tiers above the Edge.

Nice car- sweet design - 2007 Ford Edge
By Jenkcool - December 14 - 6:36 amIt has a great feel of the road. Very stable, feels very solid. The road noise is at a minumum. It has plenty of room.

Gas Hog - 2007 Ford Edge
By thanksohio - December 10 - 4:38 pmWe have had this vehicle for around three weeks now. We brought a 2007 for the incentives and had an "A" plan, that made the price hard to beat. Problem is, we are averaging 14.1 mpg. My wife drives the car to work M-F 15 miles highway driving. We have asked other Edge owners what their average MPG is and the normal response is "20 - 25." Also, window wipers freeze up and make the blades useless. Where they are located is a collection area for rain and snow. Not very well thought out. Would strongly advise looking at other crossovers as this one cost more in gas than a Suburban would!

Looked at many cars, loved this 1 immediately - 2007 Ford Edge
By jrstorm1007 - December 6 - 10:46 amWe got our Edge 3 weeks ago and love it. It is so much fun to drive. We got a 2007 floor model:, Black w/ tan leather, heated seats, Sirius, 18" Alloy tires, rear-sensor, fog lights, roof rack, power everything. The Vista Roof was not on the floor model. The car drags slightly to the right and I found out this was an issue for some of the 07 Edge and Lincoln MXKs (see TBSs on fordedgeforum dot com). I brought it in to the dealer, with the TSB # and they ordered the part. It was not installed yet. Other than that, it is an awesome car. Drives like a solid car with the room of an SUV. So comfortable. Looks better than any SUV out there, stylish, yet simple. Gas mileage is OK.
