  Great car for the money - 2016 Ford Edge
  By David N - November 16 - 8:32 am

  Ford has improved the touch screen from previous years model. Really great little car. Smooth and quiet on the highway and easy to maneuver in the city. Not crazy about the limited direction of the front a/c vents in the center, but not a huge deal. Lots of leg room and head room for taller people. Has a really solid feel to it. Overall very happy with this purchase.

  Nice Ride - 2016 Ford Edge
  By RM - December 30 - 5:31 am

  Very comfortable and very quiet ride. The 2.0 turbo engine is completely adequate for acceleration needs. The vehicle is still under 2000 miles so its still in the honeymoon phase. So far......so good.

  High end feel in a mid range SUV - 2016 Ford Edge
  By Dan - August 28 - 11:56 pm

  I recently purchased an AWD SE from my wife. I got to say that the overall value of the car is excellent. It rides like a much more expensive vehicle. Theres plenty of room to seat five, and the interior of the vehicle Has high grade materials. I do wish that the SE model had the sync three interactive infotainment system. The 2.0 turbo seems to be plenty powerful enough to pass in highway traffic. The Michelin tires are decent. A bit underwhelming in weather. There is plenty of cargo space. I love the overall look of the vehicle and the led lights that complement the rear of the vehicle. I find it to be a great value in the middle d size suv segment.

  Pleased with the purchase - 2016 Ford Edge
  By David Monti - September 6 - 6:03 am

  I bought my 2016 Edge SEL last month. I elected to get the 3.5L V6 and really enjoy the acceleration it offers. Im still on my second tank of gas and I am getting 21.7 MPG in a mostly rural setting. I havent had the car out on the highway yet. The ride is good and the drivers seat is quite comfortable. Visibility is good except for the back right side- there is a large blind spot there. The stereo is average; I got sync3 and found it easy to use. Im not crazy about the voice activated commands so I probably wont use them too much. The all season floor mats are a joke. Save your money and buy WeatherTech mats! Option I wish I had-the 2.7L ecoboost! I didnt want to spring the extra cash for the sport version.

  Fancy new car - 2016 Ford Edge
  By Shannon - July 22 - 4:34 am

  So far I am very happy with my Ford Edge. Another coworker bought one the week before me and weve both noted that they are very zippy. The Edge has the power to take off right away which is helpful getting into traffic and is very smooth. The steering wheel feels good and everything seems to be in a place that makes sense. The hands-free technology is great with the bluetooth connection to your phone. You can make calls/receive calls and hear texts without being distracted. The lane assist is helpful and there are so many camera and distance auto-detect features that if you get into an accident it will be your fault not the cars. The distance auto-detection is helpful when pulling into tight spaces like a packed 2-car garage. The quality of the interior is excellent. I think the Ford technology package is better than the Acuras where the user interface is blocky. The kids love the feature to swing their leg under the back to get the cargo hatch to open. My only minor materials issue is some of the plastic edging on the rear door feels sharp and could be smoothed a bit. The heated/cooled seats and climate control is great. Both of my large dogs fit into the cargo area so they never have to sit in the back seat. I felt that I got just a good of a vehicle as the Acura MDX without the cost.

  6 day Edge Titanium Rental - 2016 Ford Edge
  By KCM - June 12 - 6:18 am

  I just finished a six day rental of a 16 Ford Edge Titanium with the Ecoboost 2.0 4 engine, driving it from south Florida to northern Georgia (mountains), down through the west Georgia boonies where The Walking Dead is filmed, then back south. It averaged 28 - 29 mpg on the open (highway/interstate) road, 22 mpg in town per the fuel economy computer. Not bad - gas mileage is better than a 2013 Toyota Highlander that I drove for awhile. The performance of the Ecoboost 4 engine is pretty impressive, considering the weight of the Edge (4000+ lbs) vs the small size of the 2.0 liter engine, and it does move it along pretty well. However, if youve carrying a load of people & luggage in a hilly area, you’ll sometimes wish you had another 15 ponies and 20 pound/feet of torque on tap. With a full load, this engine in this vehicle gets the job done, but you won’t have a lot of reserve power to spare. To be fair, compared to the POS 14 Ford Edge rental I drove two years ago that had a brutally punishing and miserable ride, the 16 Edge is a big overall improvement from their new Sync 3 system (great!) to the relatively improved ride, seat comfort, braking and handling. It was very strange, however, that this loaded Titanium didn’t have a navigation system!!!! Nearly a $37k MSRP car??? Huh??? This being said… this ’16 Titanium didnt close the deal for my family for a purchase, and here’s why: It rode pretty smoothly and fairly quietly only on the most glass-like asphalt road. I don’t know where some Edmunds reviewers say that this SUV is soooo ‘quiet” – it is NOT, and on some types of macadam and asphalt roads, the road noise is surprisingly LOUD. Obviously, these reviewers must be deaf, happy Ford fanatics, or previously drove Yugos or 1950 Ford pickups. On any other road surface than smooth asphalt, the ride was frequently nervous and bumpy on all but the smoothest of surfaces. The car thumped and bumped over minor broken pavement, you felt every imperfection in the road through the steering wheel and your seat. The road noise from the 19” Hankook 245/55R19 Venus S1 noble tires (set at 35psi per the manufacturers recommendation) and through the vehicle’s floorpan was a bit excessive, especially since this was the Titanium model. I shudder to think how the Edge Sport must ride and sound with its even lower profile tires/larger (20") wheels. Frankly, we were surprised and a bit shocked at this after reading all of the glowing reports from Edmunds reviewers about the "smooth ride" on this new Edge. Ummmmmm, NO. Maybe these people think that a SUV/crossover HAS to ride stiffly and with pronounced road noise. No, they do NOT have to be this way. For these reasons, these observations were definitely NOT my definition of a ‘Titanium’ level in my opinion, and the probable deal breaker for a potential purchase. With the improvements in automotive industry suspension and sound reduction technology introduced over the past few years, there is certainly no excuse for Ford not producing a smoother riding and quieter crossover than this new top of the line Edge. Perhaps the Edge SEL might ride a little better (and a little quieter) with its 18” wheels & tires (I recently learned that you CAN order an Edge Titanium w/18" wheels & tires). If so, a ‘16 Edge SEL could be worth a serious look if youre looking for a quieter and smoother ride. In the meantime, I suggest that Ford needs to talk to Kia, and closely examine a 16 Sorento. I rented a lowly 16 Sorento LX w/V6 a few months ago, and it was definitely a quieter, smoother riding, and faster (V6) SUV than this 16 Edge Titanium, and at a MUCH lower price. Dont take MY word for it - rent one from Avis or Enterprise for a few days like I did, and wring it out. If you own a new Edge, you may be a bit upset after driving one of these SUVs. BTW, the 16 Sorentos in EX & SXL trim are even quieter, more comfortable, and ride about as well as their lower trim LX, despite having 19" or 20" wheels & tires!!! Overall, the new Edge is a bit of a disappointment for a SUV we really wanted to like. Back to the drawing board, Ford – Kia can get the job done with their Sorento, so, you can too. Try again!!
