| Does anyone have any experience with an edge? Are they a decent SUV? Hold their value well? |

Quoted: My buddy's wife has one. She likes it. But it's not a SUV. It's a sedan with a high roofline. Quoted: Quoted: Does anyone have any experience with an edge? Are they a decent SUV?

In. My wife and I are looking at crossovers and SUVs and these are high on the list. The 2015s are going to be different so deals on the 2014s may be popping up in the next couple months.
I test drove one with the 3.5 V6 several months ago. It was roomy enough, acceleration was tolerable, fuel economy was so so, ride was good and not loud. I test drove a similarly equipped 2015 Dodge Journey (cue the Dodge haters) last weekend and liked it more. The Journey had more power and IMO the interior is nicer. I like the looks of the Edge though. |

we're on our 2nd edge. We traded a 2011 off last year because the PTU (awd transfer case) wouldn't stop leaking even after 2 'fixes' under warranty. We got a 2013 Edge Limited but after a year we're thinking about looking for something different. Neither of us think it's that comfortable and it only gets about 23 mpg. I get 18 mpg with my truck so there isn't much advantage to it.

| The one I drove was fairly comfortable but it was only a 10 minute test drive. You guys talking about the fuel economy....what kind of driving do you do? On a road trip my truck gets ~20. If 20-22 is all that an Edge can get I could just get a half ton crew cab. |

| liked em, almost bought one but Fords Sync System was still new and unproven when we were looking. Too much gadgetry - five ways to turn on the defroster but none of them intuitive (this was when we were new to touchscreens in cars...) the controls were just too busy , but they are good city rigs. As SUVish as an SUV that wont ever leave the payment without the terrible gas mileage. |

Tin Can twitchy shit suspension terrible seats with all the bells and whistles wife though thought was cute though and her money on a great deal Ford corporate vehicle we are not upside down on it and will trade it next month after two years of use |

My wife lease two different ones. I tried to talk her out of leasing the firsts and ended up falling in love with it. Traction was super. We never off roaded it, so do not comment on that.
We turned our second one in this summer and was going to order another, but they did not have the new ones out for a while,,,,, maybe February. One of the best vehicles I have ever owned and I have had a ton of new and used vehicles. I have 7 now. We got a new explorer instead. |
