Used 2020 Ford Edge SEL 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) Consumer Reviews
Not as nice as the previous model
We traded our CX-5 for this. I regret it every time I have to drive the Edge. We had the previous model Edge with a V6 engine as a rental for a while back when and we loved (almost) every aspect of it. Fast forward to 2020, test drove it, liked the handling and the speed and the room. We took it home and almost 1.5 years later and only 8500 miles, I absolutely HATE this thing. Trying to stay constant at 30-35mp/h WITHOUT any jerking is absolutely impossible. The good: The Edge has a ton of room and a really nice big trunk. That is about it, nothing else makes much sense or is in any way an improvement to the previous model or even on par with competitors. The materials used on the inside are crap. As mentioned above, our Edge only has 8500 miles on it and it squeaks and rattles almost everywhere. It sucks gas like a V8, but doesn't have the power to show for it. The infotainment system works, really slow, but it usually works. If you have 2 phones paired to the car, it doesn't automatically switch if you're out of range of the primary phone and you will get constant pop-up messages, reminding you to pair your phone. A couple of times, the infotainment system stayed black until the car was shut off and turned on again, I was unable to change the station or volume. For a car with a price tag near $40k, I would expect a lot more attention to detail, but I guess Ford doesn't care about that anymore, cheap is king. This is our first and absolutely the last Ford we've ever owned. We will be going back to Mazda.

2020 not as good as the 2015 it replaced
We bought a 2020 Edge brand new in July. It was replacing the 2015 we just LOVED. However the new car came with some very frustrating changes that has us thinking we'd like our old car back. First, we ordered the tan interior which simply means everything is BLACK except the seats. Living on a gravel road is WHY we want tan and NOT BLACK but evidently FORD over-bought Black interior parts like dash, console, steering wheel and column - you know the areas where dust accumulates? Second, where did the gear shift go? I read somebody suggesting putting vice grips on the radio dial, no wait, that's the gear selector knob. Quick glance they look the same? That may be a quick-fix to this problem after all? Just can't get the "feel" for that and find myself in neutral or park when wanting reverse or drive. GOOD IDEA guys to force the driver to look away from the road or traffic focus to SEE what gear you are selecting? That's a real safe change. Third and will be a deal breaker in the future for us, is the "auto-stop" or better described "wreck looking for a place to happen" feature. Interesting that when you start the car and you WANT: wipers, radio, lights, AC, heat, etc. you TURN THEM ON. But the absolutely heart-attack inducing Auto Stop you must TURN OFF when starting the vehicle. Funny, you can turn off the seat-belt alarm system PERMENANTLY, and turn off PERMENANTLY the bumper-car feature but EVERY TIME you start the car you have to manually turn the auto-stop OFF if you don't want it? Huh? So if you want to be safe in traffic and NOT HAVE YOUR CAR stall for no reason -you must turn this off. This "feature" is to cut down on fuel consumption. But MORE FUNNY is if you put the car in park it will idle to infinity and beyond OR if you are in reverse and stop with your foot on the brake the engine will continue to run. I guess idling and backing up doesn't burn any fuel? Good to know. When I took my 2020 Edge in for its first oil change I pleaded with the service manager to FIX the auto stop. He said FORD will not let the dealers touch that function. But I can turn off the seat belt warning system permanently? “Yes the instructions are in the manual.” I can permanently turn off the lane-drift warning system? “Yes the instructions are in the manual.” I can turn everything else OFF until I WANT to use it EXCEPT the auto-off system? “Yes the instructions are in the manual except for the auto-off system. You have to manually turn the auto-off system EVERY time you start the car.” I asked the Service Manager if he realized just how stupid this makes Ford look? He smartly looked at the floor and chose not to respond. At least there are SOME smart people at Ford?

My 4th and very last Edge, Ford ruined a good SUV
Complete garbage. I had a 2011 AWD Tauras and 3 Edges with the the V6 and 6 speed. Ford ruined this vehicle with a sewing machine engine that just revs and makes noise. No engine braking, horrible torque steer, awful 8 speed can't find the right gear on a good day, clucks into 1st gear when approaching stop, dangerously slow system lag. Put your foot to the floor and wait 4 seconds for power. Ok if you drive like an old man but dangerous if you try to drive quickly in heavy traffic. Cup holders rattle if cup is in it because springs rattle when unloaded. Don't buy this car, you will regret it like me. I have rented other Edges to see if mine is a lemon but they are all the same. What a piece of crap, I used to love Ford.

Quiet ride
This is our second Edge. It is a great mid-sized SUV.Its roomy enough to get our 10.5 ft SUP inside the vehicle. We thought its ride and handling were superior to the Lexus 350.
