[Guest tdtennessee]

its time for a new car for the wife. she likes the edge and it fits what we are looking for. anybody got one, what are the pro's and con's you have found while owning it. i think we are going to test drive one next weekend and see how it rides and everything else but thought i would ask here first.

thanks.

I rented one once when I was in Dallas. Had to drive from the airport up to Plano. I liked it, decent acceleration (265hp V6) I used all 265HP when I could! Gas mileage stayed in the high teens but I kept my foot in it! Decent ride seemed kinda like a "sport tuned" suspension. Didn't drive like a minivan. Lots of room. The Sync system was nice, easy to use. Overall I was impressed with it. Beyond that I don't know.

Wife had a 2007 Ford Edge. She and I both liked it: however, I was a bit disappointed in its gas mileage. The highway mileage was like 21-22. I'd hope that the newer ones are better.

New ones are rated at 18/25mpg.

Hornet Handler (member here) had a rental up in Colorado last winter. Said the AWD version of it got him anywhere and everywhere he needed to go in the snow.

well she is in a 4wd durango 5.9 that gets about 12 mpg now so anything will be an improvement, lol

My cousin's got one and he loves his. I have driven it and it drove very good but I can't give pro's and con's from that. I would surely consider one if I were in the market for a vehicle.

We test drove a couple at Carmax back in the spring and we liked both of them. The limited is the one to get. Huge sunroof, backup sensors, sync, nav, etc. I really dig the new "sport" edition with body color rocker panels and fascia.
