Not What I Expected - 2017 Ford Edge
By Tom Teichgraeber - February 26 - 6:52 pmI rented this car for a week and drove it 300 miles in combined highway and city driving. I own an Acura MDX that is a few years old and have been thinking of buying a new car. One that I have considered is the Edge. After driving the Edge Titanium for a week, I find that there are some good and bad aspects to the Edge. The good is that the car seems well made and has a nicely appointed interior. Interior controls are easy to learn and to use. The navi system works well and has a nice large screen. Performance is OK, but acceleration is not particularly quick. I noticed two things that I really did not like. One was visibility out of the car to the front and over the hood and the top front quarter when turning. Compared to the MDX, the hood seems inordinately high and one feels like one is staring out over a very deep dash and long hood from a big, heavy vehicle. The other aspect of this is that the A pillars seem set back too close to the driving position and they noticeably block vision forward and make it harder to see when turning corners. One cannot see a curb or lane marker stripes when turning around a corner (like driving into a driveup lane at Starbucks or just turning on a street) and this gives a sense that you cannot tell where you are turning on the road. The other noticeable thing about the Edge is that it feels ponderously heavy when driving in city traffic. By that I mean that just moving lane to lane feels like one is moving a much larger, heavier vehicle that this SUV really is. The Acura, on the other hand has excellent visibility out the front and drives like a car, although it is a larger vehicle than the Edge. The only way that I can describe it is that it is mega times lighter on its feet and you can see out of it. In my opinion, the Edge is a nice overall package, but the limitations I experienced eliminate it from ownership by me.

In with thenew, out with the old! - 2017 Ford Edge
By Janice Reed - October 24 - 8:48 amWe had a 2008 Edge that was traded for this one. We loved the handling and use of the old one. This one is superior because of the new improvements in size, styling, navigation, audio, internet, and more we havent checked out yet. Only have had it a month. It is so quiet on the road and smooth.

Great 5 passenger SUV - 2017 Ford Edge
By Jon DellAntonia - June 28 - 5:52 pmLook at this SUV before you buy something else. Has a multitude of features and is comfortable to drive or be a passenger. Electronics package is easy to use and very comprehensive. Our Edge is a Titanium model with the V6 engine in it. Edmunds did not provide that option in the selection of vehicles.

11 months of satisfaction - 2017 Ford Edge
By FordEdgeOwner - December 17 - 11:05 amI purchased my Edge 11 months ago. I compared it with an Acura RD-X (rode rough for my taste), Lexus RX350 (too $$$), and the new Honda CR-V (nice, but a little too small) . Because of my large amount of driving, I went for the Ecoboost 4 rather than the 6, and it has turned out to be an excellent compromise between power (acceleration) and fuel economy. I do a long commute, and I appreciate the ease of driving it as well as the mileage of 23-25 mpg in all conditions. My family of three has taken it from the Bay Area to Tahoe with a full load of luggage, and it had enough performance to handle it comfortably, even through a snowstorm on the way back. We also own a 2012 Toyota Highlander, and the Edge is far more smooth, quiet, and refined than the Highlander, and gets better mileage as well. I am over 6, so it is more comfortable as well. I use Android Auto with the Sony audio system, and the audio system is satisfactory to my non-audiophile hearing. Would definitely recommend the Titanium 302A package just for the proximity sensors, which aid in backing up.

Our 3rd Edge - 2017 Ford Edge
By DaveK - July 19 - 8:27 pmThis is our 3rd Edge and our first AWD vehicle. We bought the 3.5 L Titanium package and it seems to have all the bells and whistles. My biggest complaint over the 10 years we have owned Fords is dealer support. I have had unhappy episodes with 2 of 3 dealerships I have dealt with. In defense of the dealers, I am a picky owner and they have a lot of customers to deal with. The vehicle performs well and is very nicely appointed inside. Seats are comfortable and controls are mostly convenient (I am still getting use to things). The 3.5 liter 6 cylinder seems to be not as peppy as our 2010 but it could just be that the vehicle is quieter. Our mileage seems to be about the same as the FWD 2010 but given this one is AWD Im OK with it. 24-25 MPG on the highway and over 20 MPG for the first 1600 miles so far. Fit and finish is very good (In my opinion). We got the 20" wheels and they look great. Ride is a bit stiffer than I expected but handling is better than our two previous Edges. Overall opinion is good. I am an American car buyer and this vehicle is a better fit for me than anything GM of Chrysler has. Dont think you will be disappointed if you decide to buy one.
