Used 2016 Ford Edge Titanium 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A) Consumer Reviews
Love My Edge
I shopped for a few SUV's, tested Escape and Honda CRV and both were too small for me. Then I tested the Ford Edge Titanium with all the options and it felt the perfect size for me. I even started out wanting the V-6 engine and tested both the V-6 and 4 cylinder EcoBoost and decided on the EcoBoost because the power was there and the MPG was higher than the V-6. The EcoBoost engine is so quite and has great power so I decided to go with that plus its the standard engine and the V-6 is a option over $600.00. I bought the Titanium Model with the Tech Package and 20 inch Wheel upgrade package and it has the new Sync 3 which is great. I think if you are looking at a Mid Size SUV you need to look and drive a Ford Edge.

Best keeper in 35 years and after 18 cars
Over 4 years and 100000 miles: a. 2016 edge is a vast improvement over the 2014 model I traded. b. 4cylinder turbo is much smoother than the regular v6. c. With Michelin tires it is definitely quiet. My friend owns 2018 Lexus RX350 made the comment. She was very impressed with the ride quality. d. Had adoptive steering warning but disappeared after a couple years. I suspect it was a software bug. e. 24-25 averaged MPG. 28-30 MPG on highway. f. Brake system is very responsive. lasted 100000 miles with my driving habit. g. Wonderful frontal collision warning (audio and visual) h. Only repair was a broken water pump. i. Plenty trunk space, even for a Magic Chef 10.1 cf refrigerator bought at Home Depot. Last but not least, I used only full synthetic oil every 8000 miles to keep the engine running smooth and quiet.

2016 Ford Edge
A few years ago I got a 2008 Ford Edge and it had tons of problems shortly after buying it. I had an $800 fan replacement done; then the same day it overheated once I got it home. So I took it to Carmax and they offered me 2k for it because the transmission was slipping as well. I loved the look of it as well as the space, so I figured maybe if I got a newer model I wouldn’t have issues. Unfortunately not the case. I got a 2016 Ford Edge titanium and the day I drove it home from the dealership it leaked all coolant and the engine light came on. We added more coolant and the problem went away for about a week. Then the engine light came on again. Basically it needed an entire new engine which costed 7,300$. Luckily I had a great warranty which covered this cost. Apparently this is a common issue in this car. The coolant leaks into the engine and destroys it over time. I am now looking to trade this in to avoid future issues. I don’t think I will ever purchase a Ford again.

6 day Edge Titanium Rental
I just finished a six day rental of a '16 Ford Edge Titanium with the Ecoboost 2.0 4 engine, driving it from south Florida to northern Georgia (mountains), down through the west Georgia boonies where The Walking Dead is filmed, then back south. It averaged 28 - 29 mpg on the open (highway/interstate) road, 22 mpg in town per the fuel economy computer. Not bad - gas mileage is better than a 2013 Toyota Highlander that I drove for awhile. The performance of the Ecoboost 4 engine is pretty impressive, considering the weight of the Edge (4000+ lbs) vs the small size of the 2.0 liter engine, and it does move it along pretty well. However, if you've carrying a load of people & luggage in a hilly area, you’ll sometimes wish you had another 15 ponies and 20 pound/feet of torque on tap. With a full load, this engine in this vehicle gets the job done, but you won’t have a lot of reserve power to spare. To be fair, compared to the POS '14 Ford Edge rental I drove two years ago that had a brutally punishing and miserable ride, the '16 Edge is a big overall improvement from their new Sync 3 system (great!) to the relatively improved ride, seat comfort, braking and handling. It was very strange, however, that this loaded Titanium didn’t have a navigation system!!!! Nearly a $37k MSRP car??? Huh??? This being said… this ’16 Titanium didn't close the deal for my family for a purchase, and here’s why: It rode pretty smoothly and fairly quietly only on the most glass-like asphalt road. I don’t know where some Edmunds reviewers say that this SUV is soooo ‘quiet” – it is NOT, and on some types of macadam and asphalt roads, the road noise is surprisingly LOUD. Obviously, these reviewers must be deaf, happy Ford fanatics, or previously drove Yugos or 1950 Ford pickups. On any other road surface than smooth asphalt, the ride was frequently nervous and bumpy on all but the smoothest of surfaces. The car thumped and bumped over minor broken pavement, you felt every imperfection in the road through the steering wheel and your seat. The road noise from the 19” Hankook 245/55R19 Venus S1 noble tires (set at 35psi per the manufacturer's recommendation) and through the vehicle’s floorpan was a bit excessive, especially since this was the Titanium model. I shudder to think how the Edge Sport must ride and sound with it's even lower profile tires/larger (20") wheels. Frankly, we were surprised and a bit shocked at this after reading all of the glowing reports from Edmunds reviewers about the "smooth ride" on this new Edge. Ummmmmm, NO. Maybe these people think that a SUV/crossover HAS to ride stiffly and with pronounced road noise. No, they do NOT have to be this way. For these reasons, these observations were definitely NOT my definition of a ‘Titanium’ level in my opinion, and the probable deal breaker for a potential purchase. With the improvements in automotive industry suspension and sound reduction technology introduced over the past few years, there is certainly no excuse for Ford not producing a smoother riding and quieter crossover than this new top of the line Edge. Perhaps the Edge SEL might ride a little better (and a little quieter) with it's 18” wheels & tires (I recently learned that you CAN order an Edge Titanium w/18" wheels & tires). If so, a ‘16 Edge SEL could be worth a serious look if you're looking for a quieter and smoother ride. In the meantime, I suggest that Ford needs to talk to Kia, and closely examine a '16 Sorento. I rented a lowly '16 Sorento LX w/V6 a few months ago, and it was definitely a quieter, smoother riding, and faster (V6) SUV than this '16 Edge Titanium, and at a MUCH lower price. Don't take MY word for it - rent one from Avis or Enterprise for a few days like I did, and wring it out. If you own a new Edge, you may be a bit upset after driving one of these SUVs. BTW, the '16 Sorentos in EX & SXL trim are even quieter, more comfortable, and ride about as well as their lower trim LX, despite having 19" or 20" wheels & tires!!! Overall, the new Edge is a bit of a disappointment for a SUV we really wanted to like. Back to the drawing board, Ford – Kia can get the job done with their Sorento, so, you can too. Try again!! <br><br><br><br>

APIM sucks, beware it will cost you $1000 to fix
I used to love my 2016 Ford Edge Titanium until the APIM gave out. It started with sluggish user interface, when using voice commands for phone calls, then the backup camera would be delayed and suddenly, just shortly after the warranty was done, the system barely works anymore. Honestly a piece of junk. It will cost us $1000 to fix. Beware, this will happen to every single Ford car.
