Awesome SUV!
I have the SEL with the optional V6. It makes great power. I have the optional 8" screen with the safety package, awesome! With the SYNC3 you can use your smartphone with Waze as navigation on the 8" screen, so no need to buy the navigation. The gas mileage is fantastic for an SUV, 20.1mpg around town. This by far the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned!

Sterling and power
Only two issues. One is kind of just an annoyance. The steering shaft under the dashboard is open. So the joint is exposed. For someone a bit shorter that won’t be an issue. For me at 6’ 2 it’s not very good. I found myself feeling the joint rubbing my shoe. Second, for a turbo engine it seems to lack in acceleration and power. I spent a lot of years as a mechanic and worked at a few ford dealers over the years. In my opinion going to this format with smaller engines with turbos really hurt the power and acceleration. It could get better with a bit of tuning and adjusting of the turbo waste gate. Maybe even a bigger turbo. Other than that i couldn’t be happier. My next vehicle is going to be this very same suv.

The Cruiser
Quietness and seat comfort were the top priority for us when shopping for something to replace our Highlander. After test driving almost 10 small and mid-size SUVs the choice was obvious. We did a 1000 mile Pacific Northwest road trip in the first month and it didn’t disappoint in any regard. 18 months of ownership and the only issues are the headlights and the hood line diminishing forward visibility when maneuvering in close quarters such as parking. The headlights just seem weak in the dark and rain of a PNW winter. In all fairness the comparison is the HID headlights in my Denali. Otherwise no issues at all. Two-and-half year update - our satisfaction and opinion hasn't changed. We've had no reliability issues and the cabin remains squeak and rattle free.

2018 Edge Titanium AWD
Update November 2021: After 3yrs of ownership, I am still enjoying my 2018 Edge. I only have just over 22K miles on it, mainly because of limited driving due to the pandemic over the past year and half. It has only been to the shop for routine maintenance and oils changes. Nothing out of the ordinary. Drives well, rides well and gets decent gas mileage for a heavy AWD vehicle. I now have a Ford ESP Premium Care Extended Warranty on it to 100K miles for those “just in case things”. Original Review: First of all, this is a GREAT SUV. I looked all over and compared multiple SUVs for several months before making my decision. Once I finally decided on the Edge, I found a nearby Ford Dealer and special ordered one. The reason I special ordered was I wanted litterally EVERY option available, in the exact color I wanted. I got the Titanium Model with Magnetic Grey exterior, Ebony Leather interior, 302A package, AWD, opted for the 2.0 EcoBoost vs. the V6 (the V6 is old school), trailer tow package with hitch, cold weather package, 20" wheels with grey pockets and the cargo accessory package. EVERYTHING! Waited about 8+ weeks for its arrival. Now, 3 months later I have not been dissapointed! The Edge drives great, smooth and very quiet , and with the 2.0 EcoBoost has decent acceleration. It's not going to break loose and spin the tires from a stop light, but it is not meant to do that. The AWD system helps to keep the vehicle planted very well during the recent heavy rains we have had where I live. Honestly, I would not have any SUV without AWD...I think it's a necessity for such a vehicle! The adaptive cruise control, BLIS Blind Spot Warning and the Lane Keeping Assist work very well. One complaint, I wish the BLIS Blind Spot Warning had some sort of Audible alert in addition to the light in the mirror...bad omission by Ford!! Most other makers have a sound in addition to the light. The Automatic Wipers are annoying at best, but I had those on a previous car and they were annoying also...its not a Ford issue. I really like the SYNC 3 system too, though it can be a bit limited in its performance. It has Adaptive Steering as well, which changes the steering ratio constantly. Takes some getting used to, but actually makes it handle better...very tight steering compared to just the regular steering. I have only had the Edge for a bit less than 3 months now, so the overall reliability is still unknown...so far so good though.

Beautifully Fitted Car that you fit in.
We traded in an Escape that always felt not quite big enough. The Edge is perfectly sized. Great for road trips. The car has a front camera which is a necessity for me to park because with the design of the hood I find it hard to center the car in a parking place. Very quiet ride and the front seats and console are perfectly designed. ( I considered the MKX but I didn’t like the cabin design as much. It felt claustrophobic and I didn’t see the value in the added 10,000
