  • Disappointed Owner -- Not 27 MPG!! - 2011 Ford Edge
    By -

    Bought my wife a loaded 2011 Edge Limited. Great car, comfortable ride, nice interior and I love the glass cockpit. Initial motivation moving to a Ford Edge was great horsepower and the MPG. Knowing that efficiency in modern engine and tranny combos greatly increased, I took the bait. From the first road trip I was greatly disappointed--the 27 MPG claim was a joke. I should have known reading a similar review. Mistakenly thought my driving habits would make a difference. Been driving with a soft foot since the 70s gas shortages--getting at least 1-3 better than any EPA ratings. Until the Edge. Highway driving at best gets me only 22-23. Dont be fooled!

  • Dont buy, Sync system is worthless! - 2011 Ford Edge
    By -

    Went from an older BMW X3 to the Edge and now regret it! Ive never been a fan of American cars and this is the first one I purchased in nearly 20 years. While I realize the Ford wont have the same performance as my BMW, I was intially impressed by the overall look of the Edge and lured in by the technology. The Sync and navigation system is virtually useless since I bought it six months ago and now being told theres nothing the dealer can do until Ford issues an another update. Ive given up using all the features you see touted in the commericals because they dont work or work properly most the time. Do Not Buy a vehicle with Microsoft Sync!

  • Car is good/My touch -Sync stink - 2011 Ford Edge
    By -

    My touch has been nothing but problems. Touch screen is not reliable. Voice recognition - well that is so frustrating its funny. Had and Acura and GMC with voice recognition and it was very usable. This is a joke. The navigation is right behind this as the worst I ever had. The system maintenance runs almost once a day and it doesnt seem to fix anything. Now my screen went blank and I have to bring it to Ford to get re-programmed ~ 2 to 3 hours. And they wont give me a car, says Ford does not see this as a warranty issue. Huh??? Other than that the car does drive nice, is quite and has been very reliable. Gas milage is not what is advertised. I get ~ 16.7 combined. OUCH!!

  • Ford Edge Sport Review - 2011 Ford Edge
    By -

    I could not stop thinking about the Ford Edge Sport model once I saw the new 2011 come out. The black front grille, the body colored moldings & spectacular 22" wheels. Ive owned mine for 3 months and havent seen another one on the road! Thats how rare they are and how much youll stand out. I couldnt afford a new one so I purchased a 2011 demo in Nov 11 for 8k off sticker! Mine is red. Interior is beautiful as well. System is super super slow though. Its an amazing technology but just not there yet. Its slow to respond and sometimes frustrating but its whats next. If you have an iphone this screen will bug you because its not as user friendly or responsive. Still love it!!

  • sync or sink? - 2011 Ford Edge
    By -

    I am considering the lemon law on this one! Owned Chryslers and decided to switch based on technology and fuel efficiency. Paid more than I paid for my first home and I am totally dissatisfied. The sync system rarely works, it resets itself during dangerous drive times without notification. Ford says they are coming out with an update in early 2012. Since it only gets 22 mile/gallon, and the technology stinks, why do I believe them? $5,000.00 technology pkg. that Ford admittedly says wont work properly. [violative content deleted]

  • Happy - still learning - 2011 Ford Edge
    By -

    Buy 1wk ago. Not expert, but fairly tech savvy. Fun learning MyTouch etc. Love it. Works like a charm. After 3 years driving Rav4 (V6) its a pleasure to feel solid vehicle under me again. Two complaints: 1: GPS gives only 1/10mi verbal advise of turn. INSUFFICIENT! This is a dangerous thing. Its accident waiting to happen. They need to fix this. Example: An aftermarket Magellan that I had in Rav4 gave verbals at 2mi 1/2mi & approaching. Thats how it should be done. 2. To change active phone for Sync must acccess account in PC. Not the same as Primary phone for MyTouch. You need to understand the system to know what Im saying. Simple cure, make changeable from vehicle. See Fav Features

  • Battery and Transmission - 2011 Ford Edge
    By -

    Bought 2011 Edge on August 9, 2011. Nov 4 car not stating good. Loss of power when driving. Took to Ford garage said battery post needed cleaning and there was water whicht hey did not know where it came from. Dec 2 once again noticed loss of power, I checked under hood battery very corrided.

Dec 9 Took back to Ford garage not sounding good loud when shifting and slight vibration on brake pedal. Mechanic took it for a drive and said just wind noise I said it was not like that he said that was because I bought it in the

  • 2011 Edge SEL gas mileage - 2011 Ford Edge
    By -

    I purchase the edge new in April 2011. With only 1300 miles on the car we took our annual trip from Florida to Seattle WA. on the trip of 4218 miles we averaged 24.98 mpg. On our return trip of 4065 miles we average 26.87 mpg, which is exceptional in my opinion. This was the reason the Edge was purchased. The car is quite and very smooth to drive, the six speed is great when going down grades it automatically downshifts to maintain cruise speed. I drive at interstate speeds but do not use jackrabbit starts, is probably the key to the good mileage I get. The car now has 14000 +miles and the more I drive, the better I like the for Edge.

  • Recovering Toyota Addict - 2011 Ford Edge
    By -

    I needed to replace my 2002 Toyota Highlander in October and planned to go back and get a newer model. Am I glad that I made a side trip to Ford! My Edge ROCKS! I was so surprised at the upgrades in power, technology, safety features, and quality of interior and exterior trim that I kept asking my sales rep if this was really a Ford! I could not believe that Ford had done such a drastic turnaround but from the looks I get driving around town and the increasing numbers of Edges I have seen on the road, I believe Ford is serious about getting back into the mid-size SUV/crossover market in a competitive way. If you keep up the value for quality, you have won over a devoted Toyota owner.
