  • Rented for a long trip - 2017 Ford Edge
    By -

    Decent gas mileage. Visibility and ride comfort are quite good. Handles very well although the turning radius seems quite large. Sensitive, sticky brakes. Averaged 20+ mpg running the vehicle at 70-75 mph for a couple of 1500 mile runs on I-95. Plenty of room for luggage for the 2 of us. Would definitely rent an Edge again.

  • Poor gas mileage - 2017 Ford Edge

    I am disappointed in the gas mileage. Far less than advertised and I am not a quick accelerator.

  • Edge Sport - Almost Nailed it! - 2017 Ford Edge
    By -

    It was at the top of list for Crossovers I test drove. The following are list of the competitors I also test drove: BMW 1series and 3series, Audio-Q3 and Q5, Lincoln MKC and X, Lexus NX Turbo - it blew away the competition with its turbo charged 300+HP. Fully-loaded it beat all the competition on the price of a lease: zero down and zero due at signing MSRP $46 - $52K with payments of $600 - $700/mo. @ 20K/year. Yes you can get any of the above models mentioned in price I mentioned; but Edge Sport was the only one with every option available. When you add more options to the competition you are in the $700 to $800 range. The edge comes with two flaws, the first is front seat suede inserts (the only seats available on this model). You may think it is a nice touch and while you are correct it looks classy, the suede does not allow the driver to move easily in the seat as you cannot slide and therefore finding a comfortable spot can be very difficult and if have a bad back (like I do) it disqualifies itself. Also the suede picks up lint and may fade over time. The second flaw is a below average audio system. Some may argue it is high end Sony, but compared to the competition: Revel, Bang and Olufsen, Harmon Kardon and Mark Levinson it pales in comparison. I would much rather spend an extra $1,000 - $2,000 on upgraded audio than a sunroof. I feel is the sunroof is the biggest waste of money in the car industry today. It usually comes standard on top of line models or in package. It is very misleading, most think you get it for nothing, but it really costs the consumer $1,200 - $2,000; in the Lincoln MKZ it was over $3,000. I have had to pay for one in the last four cars I have owned (they came standard) and used it maybe 3X. I would bet if you asked the buying public if they had $1,000-$2,000 to spend on upgrades or keep in their pockets, they would choose something else or not spend the extra money. Pro and Cons: Pros: cabin was well insulated, sporty look, fit and finish, plenty of room, horsepower best in class, technology. Cons: ride a bit rough due to 20" tires, suede inserts on front seat (only option), audio system, gas mileage.

  • Not a bad Cross over - 2017 Ford Edge
    By -

    Babysitting my friends new Edge till I pick him up at the airport . Pros.. nice interior and lay out . NAV is quite good with large 8 screen, back up camera and tech package/ cross traffic alert / bliss works well. No road or tire noise from inside. , Sony radio and 9 speaker sounds good but not in the class of other good systems . Ingress / egress is excellent with plenty of room for folks over 6 tall. The 2.0L engine lacks low end torque but once you get going there is plenty of power. I would of opt for the V-6 but gas mileage is better with the small turbo. Seating SELmodels non sport seats are so much more comfortable than the Titaniums sport seating . Big / tall drivers beware . The Cons ... not many but they are something to consider if buying . The hood flares up on both sides so when your driving it hard to see / judge around turns and corners / tight spots . The hood flares up closest to both sides of the driver and passage window . This to me is very annoying . visibility is a little obstructed by window pillars and sloped back window. Im sure after a few weeks you could get used to it. Last thing that I noticed was the Foot rest by the door where your non driving foot rests. It should of been placed back another 2 inches and slanted more at a 45 degree angle . Tall people beware this could be annoying on long trips . Overall comparing it to other Cross Overs the 2017 ford edge is definitely at the top of the pack.

  • Our 3rd Edge - 2017 Ford Edge
    By -

    This 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.

  • Died 2 miles off the lot - 2017 Ford Edge
    By -

    We had a supposed "this has never happened in the history of Ford" breakdown. The high pressure fuel pump stopped working two miles after my wife left the car lot upon final paperwork of buying the vehicle. The Ford Pass app works on Apple and Android devices. We ended up getting rid of our Microsoft phones, because NO ONE CARES about this issue! NO ONE at the dealership gave us any information on phone numbers to call for help if the vehicle breaks down. The only information we had was our salesmans cell phone#. He came to our aid, and made sure we got the vehicle towed back to the dealership. He made sure we had a loaner vehicle for the 18 days we had to wait for the service department to figure out what went wrong, to order the parts, to get an emergency order on a back ordered part, install the four parts needed for this particular pump, and then test drive our brand new vehicle. It had less than 60 miles on it when it died. They fixed it. We own it. We now have just over 10,000 miles on it, and the dealership barely knows who we are anymore. We get conflicting email notices concerning when to bring it in for maintenance, and a part that was supposed to have been put on order when we did bring it in for the 10,000 mile checkup just over two weeks ago has yet to arrive at the dealership. Who knows when that part will come in, and then we have to bring the car in for that part to be replaced. Supposedly, it will only take 30 minutes to replace, but it took over 4 hours to get an oil change and the first maintenance check, even with an appointment in place...

    I had a Mercedes previous to this car. I thought I was taking a step down in luxury, but it doesnt seem to be that way.
