  • 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.

  • 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
    By -

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

    Check the standard equipment, choose the color that you wont get tired of. I knew what I wanted and and the price I wanted to pay and got my deal

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!
