Used 2013 Ford Edge SE 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Review for anyone tall
If you're a tall person and in the market for a crossover, give the Ford Edge a serious look. I'm 6'5 220# and have plenty of room in all directions. The driver seat has many settings for your comfort. Now for the rest, I never thought I'd buy a Ford but I love this vehicle. The V6 really moves and looks great while doing it. The ride is smooth and quiet. The sound system is crisp and clear. I don't have a phone with Bluetooth but Sync works really good with my i-touch. My only complaint so far is the transmission. It really doesn't like 2nd gear and reading other reviews it seems to be a known issue with the Edge. Highly recommend this vehicle especially if you're tall. UPDATE: 02/27/2018 The 2013 Edge is still going strong. Replaced some of the standard stuff like battery, headlights, tie-rods and tires. Other than that, I still love it. Great size. Great engine. Still stylish. I plan on purchasing a newer Edge when the time comes...and this comes from someone who never cared for a Ford. UPDATE: I wrote a review on this Edge years ago under the name Abellows, but feel I might update this with the way the world/economy is going. I still have my 2013 Edge that I purchased certified pre-owned years ago and currently have 113k miles on it with no desire to trade it in. She has a 6 cly and gets up and moves! My sister has a 4 cyl turbo, 2021 Edge, but you can feel the lack of power as you enter the freeway, not to mention the annoying auto-shutoff that you can override but you have to do that at each start up. Food for thought. Gas mileage is great on hers until one needs the power of a bigger engine. Picture semi in the lane as you enter the highway. Trade off is one's own decision. Anyway, still have not put much money into mine outside of the basics. Although, ride is getting a bit worn. I believe the shocks are going and I might have those replaced. Interior and dash is dated but still comfy and looks great after a good cleaning! Just don't expect to link anything up to it through the infocenter. It was horrible a decade ago! LOL! The room in the back is still great for passengers and available cargo area has never failed me. The 2nd row seats fold 90% flat with just a flick of a handle. It has hauled everything I needed for close to a decade. Gas mileage still averages around 23-25/gal depending on my lead foot and my agitation with distracted drivers. LOL. BTW, I am 6'5 and still 220#, this is a great vehicle if you're tall. BUT...the front window supports and rearview mirror do present a considerable blind spot. You just have to bow forward a bit to make sure the coast is clear. It's a small trade-off for an otherwise great vehicle. The Edge also really hates punching it from a dead stop. It's great if you're already in motion. She will respond accordingly. She'll drop a gear and disappear! But from a dead stop, not so much,...there's a bit of a lag in the transmission that will more often than not make one reconsider their decision on going or wait for another opening in traffic, if you get my meaning. I hope this review assists anyone that can find this ride. It IS a great vehicle. Yes, it is dated, but still worth the money, IMHO. Hope better times are on the horizon for us all. Green lights and blue skies!

car is great
I bought my 2013 edge used at 70,000 I immediately had Ford change all the fluids. I did have two minor problems which I was able to fix myself 1. The canister purge valve which cost $50 at autozone and about 10 min of my time Ford wanted $80 for diagnosis and $150 for repair and 2. The annoying door ajar issue I fixed this by buying a $7 can of electronics spray for moving parts and sprayed it into the the door latch mechanism again Ford wanted $80 for diagnosis and $300 for repair. I haven't had the issue come up again and its been five months. Other than that I love the car mine came without sync which I didn't mind. I average about 23-25 city and 28-30 hwy I love the car.

Love it
I love this car inside out. There is very minimal road noise which I like. It's solid. In heavy snow it does slide a little but when the awd kicks in it rights itself very quick luckily I have not had to repair anything at all. I have about 24000 miles on it and so far no problems. The engine has good get up and go when you need it with the v6. I would recommend this car over and over.

Has been a very reliable, solid SUV
Bought new at the end of 2013, SE model with the 3.5 V6. Only one problem in 4 years, an gas tank overflow valve started sticking and causing a check engine light. Replaced it myself for about 50 bucks. Car has over 106k miles on it now.

Love everything about this car EXCEPT the cloth upholstery
I truly love this car. I previously owned ten Volkswagens and two Subarus and found the Edge to be much more reliable and the build being of better quality. I can put the back seat down and the front seat down and put my kayak inside the vehicle too! The interior plastic is of good quality and does NOT rattle at all (which was a big issue I had with the Subaru's...that and the stupid muffler guard always being loose). I will stick with Ford in the future. The only thing I wish I did differently was I would've bought leather. The cloth upholstery is HORRIBLE and even when rain hits it the seats look like someone peed on them! Pay for Scotchguard or get the leather package!
