2015 Edge at 60,000 miles
2015 edge SEL AWD now has 60,000 miles on it. Not a single squeak. Drives like a luxury car. Outstanding 4wd in snow. One of our favorite vehicle over our 25 year history of car purchases. Is driven on rough mixture of rural dirt roads, town roads and interstate. Has held up remarkably well. We have made the decision to hold onto to it until 100K miles.

Really Well Done - 2015 Edge SEL
Waited six or seven months to provide the review. First some thoughts: 1. Opt for the power liftgate. The liftgate is heavy. 2. This is a big car - bigger than it looks. Think about this and be prepared in your garage and when parking. This is our second Edge - we compared Highlander, Grand Cherokee, Audi Q3 & 5, Acura and a few other models. The Edge is premium priced, but we used TruCar as the starting point and then let the dealers fight among themselves so we think we got a good deal. Because of having other Ford products in the past, we researched the seats. We have learned that -- at least for the CUV/SUV -- you always avoid cloth seats if you want comfort and support. The light leather is bad for picking up dye from blue jeans, so we have instructed the dealership to clean them everytime we go in for service -- under warranty. We have had no rattles or squeaks - the only issue is that on an intermittent basis the brakes want to squeak - I can hear the echo when we are in a drive through. Audio is OK - I realize that for x thousand more we could have had far better audio, but we decided to set and hold to a budget and I'm OK with it. (Frustrating that I cannot insert paragraphs in this review - sorry about that - I know it makes it hard to read). Car drives well and is easily quick enough to go on the freeway - our old Edge had the V-6 - this one has the I-4 turbo and it's OK. We got the towing package and have pulled a lightweight trailer and more importantly - the bike rack!!! Car handles very well -- sometimes a little hard to park because it's hard to tell where the front end is. Backup camera is nicely done and evidently is a step above other cameras -- at least per our friends. We have the old MyFordTouch - I have NEVER hand any issues with this system - don't know why Consumer Reports has hated it so bad because it's pretty logical to me. If you have not owned a Ford product lately, be aware there is a large expanse of glass in front of you - but once you get used to that it makes the car feel a little more open. SEL version should have had memory seat for driver, not just power - also should have had power seat for passenger. Rear air vent into passenger compartment works well - also rear seats have some recline to them. When rear seats are folded down, they are NOT completely flat - just FYI. My mileage is good - we are not leadfoots, nor are we featherfoots - it did take a little while for the mileage to kick in - but we average about 26 around town and about 32 on the freeway at about 70 MPH. No rattles no squeaks -- overall I think Ford really did a nice job - and especially with the design. Yes, I would definitely purchase this car again.

Sports Car In a Practical Package
UPDATE May 2020: I’ve had it for over a year now and I’m still absolutely loving my 2015 Edge Sport AWD. We completed a roughly 2500 mile road trip, and even loaded down we managed close to 30mpg, which is 6mpg higher than rated. I’ve also completed several rounds of maintenance, including tires, battery, brake pads and rotors (@ about 50k miles) and a few oil changes. The car has been an absolute breeze to work on. Everything so far has been pretty easily accessible and straight forward. It’s an absolute blast to drive when I want it to be, but comfortable and smooth over the highway. At this point I’m pretty much sold on the LMS tune, and am considering a custom exhaust to make it sound a little better. A couple of things I’ve noticed, but weren’t worth taking off a star: Lug Nuts: I’m not sure if they are the same across rim sizes, but on my Sport’s 21s They use a 2 piece design with a hollow cap. If the lugs are overtightened as mine were when I bought it, they will literally rip apart when trying to loosen. I had to peel apart the outer shell when removing mine to get at the solid nut underneath in order to break them loose. This type of lug is fairly common these days, and I was removing the lugs to replace with black locking lugs anyway (which I love the look of with the dark gray rims). Tires: The stock 21” Pirelli tires wear significantly faster in the front than the rear. I know more wear is to be expected in the front, but these are wearing 4-5x faster than the rear. After only 3 months and 3-4k miles on brand new tires the front tires were visibly more worn, and that is with a vast majority of highway driving. As such I’ve found I need to rotate my tires twice as often as I change my oil to keep the wear somewhat balanced. Original Review: I needed a family sized SUV, capable of hauling my family 4 and all of our stuff. But I wanted a sports car. Turns out, you can have both. The Edge Sport is really in a league of it's own in today's crowded SUV/Crossover market. I have driven plenty of SUV's during my search for the right vehicle, and didn't find another SUV that could really compare to the Edge Sport on all fronts. For me, it has the perfect balance of performance, handling, value, features, and practicality. There's a spacious and comfortable passenger compartment with good styling, decent materials, and convenient features. The Sync 2 infotainment system is OK, and I would say on par with other infotainment systems from the time. It doesn't compare to CarPlay, but CarPlay also didn't exist when it was built. The real reason to buy the Edge Sport though is the engine and performance. This 2.7L, 315HP, 350ft/lbs torque, EcoBoost V6 is the real deal. So is the 5.6 second 0-60 time the Edge Sport boasts. This thing was practically built to embarrass unsuspecting red light challengers. Twin turbos erase turbo-lag, and there's no turbo whine to speak of coming from the engine. In fact, the engine is very quiet, and is kept to a low growl even under the hardest acceleration. A louder and more aggressive exhaust note is actually something I wish Ford would have gone with here. Ford did a nice job of beefing up the suspension on the Sport model, and with the addition of the 21" wheels and AWD on mine, it handles more like a true sports car. Body roll is pretty much non-existent, which is impressive given how heavy and tall this vehicle is. I've already driven through snow/sleet/rain and have always felt confidently in control. Steering is very light, however, and very electronically assisted, which is again something I wish Ford would have taken into consideration given the sports car nature. Steering stiffens at higher speeds, but the winding country roads where I live don't allow for me to reach those kinds speeds and I'm left with soft steering through the the twisties. Fuel economy has been in line with estimates for me. I've easily been able to maintain 21-22mpg combined, which isn't great, but is again in line with most other SUV's, and most of those don't come close to the performance offered by the Edge Sport. Overall this adds up to a great package, whether your picking up 10 bags of mulch while hauling your kids (as I did this past weekend) or out for a spirited drive through the country, the Edge Sport won't disappoint.

2015 Ford Edge Titanium *Guards Green*
So I am a 24 year old and have had my 2015 Ford Edge titanium with the 2.0 eco boost 4cyl in the guards green color for a bit over a month. So far, very satisfied with the car. The color is awesome, almost like a Greyish-green. Great ride height, good visibility of the road. The 4 cyl, in my opinion is enough power for the car. I would imagine the 6 cyl version being terrible on gas mileage. I drive mainly city, stop and go traffic in Brooklyn and I am averaging 16.2mpg for approx 1200 miles I have already put on the car. Interior is extremely comfortable. A lot of technology!!! Bluetooth is very easy to use and responsive. Touch screen display is excellent as well. I have ambient lighting in the vehicle as well which I love. Another feature I find my self using is the foot activated rear lift gate. Very useful believe it or not. Also the auto start fuction from the key fob is excellent. Use it almost every day, I anticipate using it daily once the winter hits the north eastOverall I am very satisfied with the vehicle and deffinetly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxury SUV

Falls short of expectations, but not a bad choice
This is our second Edge, replacing a darn near perfect 2013 Limited model. Our Titanium AWD is equipped with the 3.5 V6 (Edmunds must not think anyone chooses this engine over the pathetically underpowered 2.0 liter four-banger, so they don't allow that choice in the vehicle description above). The current 3.5 seems less powerful than the 2013 model and the fuel economy is still about 5 mpg less than the EPA ratings. If we buy another Edge, we will likely opt for the more powerful Sport model. Despite having two cameras and multiple sonar sensors that seem to have a mind of their own, this car is difficult to park because of the poor outward visibility (our vehicle ha the "self-parking" feature, but it's not something we use when parking in a drive-in slot at the mall). The front seats are a vast improvement in comfort and material quality over the model it replaced; however, the bottom seat cushions are still too short and do not adjust far enough with regards to tilting. Tilt steering wheel also is lacking in enough up & down movement. Despite all the complaints about how hard the electronics are to use, we find little or no issues with the nav, Hvac & radio controls. Rear seat room is spacious, but the inflating rear seat belts are a bear to use. Paint finish is impressive. Auto-dimming headlights are too easily fooled by other light sources and often stay on dim even when you are on a country road all by yourself. Heated & cooled seats work better than most others we've experienced and the heated steering wheel is terrific. Standard wheels on the Titanium are easier to keep looking good than the chrome-clad alloys that were on the 2013. Like the sonar warning parking aids, the rain-sensing wipers are a complete conundrum, they do whatever they want, whenever they want, even parking themselves during a steady rainfall. The rear window is impossible to keep clean, even in dry weather; a terribly designed rear spoiler actually traps dirt on the glass. Now let's talk about the massive glass sunroof; the rattling & creaking sound is unbearable and apparently has no permanent fix. Silicon spray on the rubber gasket it sits on will eliminate the noise...until you open & close it once! I coated the gasket with silicone last fall and haven't opened the glass since...now silent. Unless you are okay with keeping it permanently closed, save $1500 and don't buy it. 09/02/2016 Update on this flaw: After 15 months, Ford finally came up with a fix for this issue; they installed a thicker gasket around the glass roof that solved the problem!! The other major, "we can't fix it" issue is the smell that the catalytic convertors emit when the car is driven under a full load on a long grade; the odor finds its way into the interior of the vehicle and is annoying to say the least. Previous models have a TSB issued and a kit available to alleviate this issue, but so far, not the 2015 model. One last complaint; the catch-all bottoms on the side doors. The design will hold about a quarter inch of sand, mud, crud, all along the bottom surface of the door, and washing the car necessitates opening each door and spraying the bottom edge to remove the silt. Over-all, this vehicle has been disappointing, although not thoroughly unpleasurable to drive. Other mid-sized cross-overs that we have bought & owned new prior to switching to Fords include the Volvo XC-70, Cadillac XRS (junk), Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (also junk) and Mercedes GLK-350. This Edge is far from perfect, but we would at least consider buying one more version before we gave up on the either the model or the brand. UPDATE: 01/2018. After 30 months of annoying odors from the catalytic converters, we've traded the car for a 2018 Edge 3.5L Titanium AWD. We seriously considered the more powerful Sport, but the extra $4K in price seemed totally unjustified for a bit of extra power and a larger set of wheels/tires. There appears to be a huge improvement in initial quality between the 2015 and 2018 models and so far there is no problem with exhaust smells entering the passenger cabin. New SYNC system is easier than ever to use. Option packages have changed slightly, but in general the pricing is in line with the 2015. Resale on the 2015 was exactly what we expected. Overall cost per month of ownership (we paid cash/no finance charges) was right at $500 excluding property tax. Zero expenses except for oil changes and one set of wiper blades.
