I love everything about this vehicle except 2 things. The headlights are small and you must use your brights to see good at night. The second is more serious! I live in Wisconsin, and the snow will build up around the back wheel,which is common for all vehicles, however the doors are designed to wrap under the rocker panels and freeze shut! The back doors are especially bad because the frozen ice/snow mix in your wheel well is completely frozen. There is no way you can get the doors open. I will be trading it in before winter. In the meantime I will still enjoy the car. I really do like everything else about it. Update; I like the car so much that I didn't trade it in for something else, however we are now back into winter and I am having the same trouble with the doors. Gee , do you think Ford could address this problem in the next years model?

Not What I Expected

I rented this car for a week and drove it 300 miles in combined highway and city driving. I own an Acura MDX that is a few years old and have been thinking of buying a new car. One that I have considered is the Edge. After driving the Edge Titanium for a week, I find that there are some good and bad aspects to the Edge. The good is that the car seems well made and has a nicely appointed interior. Interior controls are easy to learn and to use. The navi system works well and has a nice large screen. Performance is OK, but acceleration is not particularly quick. I noticed two things that I really did not like. One was visibility out of the car to the front and over the hood and the top front quarter when turning. Compared to the MDX, the hood seems inordinately high and one feels like one is staring out over a very deep dash and long hood from a big, heavy vehicle. The other aspect of this is that the A pillars seem set back too close to the driving position and they noticeably block vision forward and make it harder to see when turning corners. One cannot see a curb or lane marker stripes when turning around a corner (like driving into a driveup lane at Starbucks or just turning on a street) and this gives a sense that you cannot tell where you are turning on the road. The other noticeable thing about the Edge is that it feels ponderously heavy when driving in city traffic. By that I mean that just moving lane to lane feels like one is moving a much larger, heavier vehicle that this SUV really is. The Acura, on the other hand has excellent visibility out the front and drives like a car, although it is a larger vehicle than the Edge. The only way that I can describe it is that it is mega times lighter on its feet and you can see out of it. In my opinion, the Edge is a nice overall package, but the limitations I experienced eliminate it from ownership by me.

Do not buy FORD!

I have a 2017 Ford Edge that is currently in the shop and I am being told that it needs a new engine because the timing chain broke. I have had issues with this car since I got it...back taillights leaking water because they are not sealed, coolant leak during Christmas and now this. I do not have the money to fix it, I still owe $14000 on it and a new engine is $6000. Take my advice and do not buy a Ford, this was my first and I will never buy another one!

I have been looking at all the different SUV's on the road for the past year and decided that I really liked the body style of the Edge. Once I actually got inside & took it for a test drive there was no going back. I absolutely love my car. It is above & beyond what I expected.

Interesting ride

I’m renting a 2017 Ford Edge. I like it overall. The ride is smooth. The acceleration is alright - I think it would be great as a6 cylinder. I love the interior and it’s features. Love the panaramic moon roof. Love the big vents in the cabin. There’s enough charging ports for the entire family. The trunk is large. The backseats is super roomy for my tall kids. Very comfortable overall. My kids fall asleep ASAP in this car. Omg! I love the blind spot assist!!!—- dislikes: touch screen is just not my preference. I feel so unsafe trying to touch the screen and drive at the same time. Bluetooth can’t seem to pick up my text messages. Cabin noise- it’s noisy at 50mph or greater.
