Nice Crossover — For a crossover, it's a pretty decent vehicle. Roomy enough for someone of my stature and peppy enough to get with the flow of traffic pretty well. The only drawback I see with is the air conditioning seems to blow weakly. However, that can be counteracted with opening the glove compartment.

Now that its paid for it continues to be reliable, full of power and is influencing my decision for our next pickup truck.  That V6 has incredible horsepower.  Add a couple tubos and it would outrun my hot rod!

Only problems are intermittent with the power lift door.  Now and then it won't latch when closing and rises back up.  Usually just pushing it down to lower and latch solves the problem for weeks.  Other minor agravations are outisde mirrors that don't completely return to driver settings.  If these are the only problems we have then when this one is used up, another will replace it.

We Sure Like Our New Edge — The perfect replacement for the Tauruses we've owned (3) We have been wondering what we would buy next since the new Taurus is in name only. The Edge is roomy, comfortable, gets really good fuel mileage and sits up high like the truck!

Love This Cuv! — We have three children ranging in age from 12 to 7, and we absolutely love this car! There is enough room for all five of us to go on a road trip comfortably. Mine is a light blue color and I get so many compliments on it. I wish it was a little bit better on gas, with the prices almost reaching $4 a gallon right now, but the handling and performance of this automobile more than makes up for it. I think it accelerates well and I definitely feel safe when I am driving it. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a stylish and comfortable family car.

It Is The Best Car I've Ever Driven. — Good acceleration. Brakes are good. Tight turns must be taken slowly, but that's to be expected. No problems with anything yet, although, Microsoft Sync has been a little buggy. It's still a fun car to drive. About 16 miles per gallon city, not bad for a crossover.

Ford Edge — I am so happy with the truck. Its smooth, spacious, my kids love it and my Ex hates it. It has everything i could possibly want. The gas mileage is great for its size and everyone who's been in the car is comfortable. I can even use the Sync to control everything.

2008 Edge — This is my second Edge -- I liked my first one so much. I have the AWD, & do all my driving in the city, so gas mileage is mediocre. Also, SYNC doesn't work for me. Otherwise, I love the quality, ride, looks & fun. Probably will need the 3rd row seat, so that is the reason I'll trade it in.

Very Good Family Vehicle. — This has been a very nice vehicle for our family. We bought this with 14K, but have not had any major issues. It has a bigger vehicle feel. Not all that impressed with the overall milage, (23 highway) but average milage is fine. (19 mpg)
