Thinking of trading up from a 2007 Nissan Quest to a Ford Edge. I had a negative experience with a brand new 2004 F150 xlt years ago that I chalk up to a crappy dealership and first year run. The 5.4 engine was sluggish, got 13mpg new, ticked loudly in the top end when brand new, and the truck had lots of warranty repairs that took entirely too long to accomplish.
This Quest (wasn't my choice, piece of junk) has had major problems with brakes, front end suspension such as ball joints, and quirky door operations.
Will most likely buy new, as the used prices are HIGH. I'd appreciate any experience and info- do you like yours? Any problems other than normal oil changes? Is there a better family sized crossover or SUV that you'd recommend at less than $30,000?
I'm in no hurry, just relying on info and experiences before I go shopping.
