  • Worth postponing early retirement! - 2017 Ford Edge
    By -

    I have been looking at all the different SUVs on the road for the past year and decided that I really liked the body style of the Edge. Once I actually got inside & took it for a test drive there was no going back. I absolutely love my car. It is above & beyond what I expected.

  • LOVE this car! - 2017 Ford Edge
    By -

    Update 12/7/2017: Still loving this car! A joy to drive although the width can be a pain in urban parking lots where they think everybody has a Prius, LOL. Built-in NAV works very well altho you need to keep the Sirius subscription if you want traffic alerts! Sony sound system inferior to Bose but its okay (believe the 2018 models have dropped the Sony?). Love the quiet, the power, the braking and handling, the comfort (even if seats are still 1.5" too high). Still hate the cupholders, though! Be sure to make the sales rep show you all the hidden storage compartments. One of them we discovered by accident! The Edge Sport is really 2 cars in 1: in everyday driving, its a well-behaved, reasonably nimble SUV that drives smaller than it really is, due to good handling/braking. Great people and cargo hauler. We ordered 401A (Tech) pkg, Adaptive Cruise Control and Cargo Accessory pkg. Our 2010 Ford Fusion was an "almost" Accord beater--so close, but missed in too many small ways that were irritating. The Edge has corrected all those flaws: precision steering, better braking, much better seats, superior center console design (except for those cupholders; what in the world were they thinking?!?!?). Put it into "D" and drive with confidence, right off the bat. MySync 3 is easy to use, even for non-techies. But....slip it into "S" for Sport handling, and WOWIE !! Clark Kent vanishes and Superman takes his place! The moment your foot touches the accelerator, however gently, youll feel the immediate difference. The already good handling tightens up and the car takes off like the proverbial rocket (despite hefty size/weight). We flung it around tight corners on back country roads for an hour and had to seriously restrain ourselves! It handles so precisely, so cleanly; that after a short time you forget you are tossing almost 5000 lb. of tall high SUV around and not a 3400 lb. low-slung roadster. Mind you, its not as amazing as the Mondeo suspension used on the old Ford Contour, but weve driven (and owned) several other SUVs and none of them had this kind of flat-out FUN driveability. This is practicality wrapped around a fine drivers car. There are a few minor flaws: the center console cupholders are in a ridiculous place compared to other Ford models (your elbows run into them while driving). Our car, factory ordered (we did not want a moonroof), has a set of auxiliary headlights not working that the service dept. needs to fix. The cargo cover has an overly complicated close/open design vastly inferior to other mfgs. And.....well, premium gas is recommended, even though it can use regular. But youll get better performance and (according to some advice from someone who is familiar with Ford turbos) in the long run, better gas mileage as well, by using premium. BTW, far more comfortable than the new Lexus 350, whose seats are now thinner and less cushy. Only real flaws: Dumb cupholder position (should be vertically along passenger side, not horizontal where drivers arm runs into it). Front seat is too high, even at lowest point: are all Ford engineers 65" tall with long legs? Fusion had same issue!

  • Better at everything but.... without cache - 2017 Ford Edge

    I also purchased an 8 year bumper to bumper warrantee

  • Ford Edge has the "Edge" - 2017 Ford Edge
    By -

    We love our Edge, we think it is probably one of the hidden values these days. There is no comparison between the Edge and the Honda CRV we owned. The Edge has more space, better quality, more comfort, better electronics..... we could go on and on.

  • Test drove them all - 2017 Ford Edge
    By -

    I had a VW TDI and knew VW was going to be buying my VW back so I had many months to shop for the perfect car for me. I test drove them all numerous times and each time I came back to the Ford Edge. I wanted a vehicle that was sturdy on the road, solid when you closed the door and quite on the road....and it needed to have plenty of power. That is what the Ford Edge gave me! Because this care was so smooth on the road and luxurious inside, I decided to go with a black color since it made me feel like I was riding in a sedan made to drive a world leader. I look forward to driving this car everyday!

  • In with thenew, out with the old! - 2017 Ford Edge
    By -

    We 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 -

    Look 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 -

    I 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.

  • Happy Purchaser - 2017 Ford Edge
    By -

    My Edge has over 7,000 miles now and Im very happy with my purchase. Very smooth ride, good acceleration with nice features. Its a perfect size with room for people and cargo yet weve been getting 25 to 27 combined mpg.
