The Ford Edge crossover vehicle, which combines elements of both an SUV and a sedan, receives a number of styling updates as well as several new options for 2008. In addition, the Edge lineup expands with the addition of the new Edge Limited trim, an upscale version of the sporty, low-slung vehicle.

Up front, the Edge retains its bold chrome three-bar grille, a design element Ford uses more and more to distinguish its vehicles from those of its competitors. New exterior elements include chrome accents designed to spiff up its appearance, as well as new optional 20-inch chrome wheels and Pirelli tires, which help improve the vehicle's ride and handling.

Other new features include an optional power liftgate, power-fold second-row seats, and the Ford Sync, a wireless interior communications system that enables drivers to use voice commands to manage the navigation system and make cellphone calls.

The Edge comes in both front-wheel and all-wheel-drive versions. All versions receive a 265-horsepower, 3.5-liter Duratec 35 V6 engine with dual overhead cams and advanced variable cam timing, which offer enhanced performance and fuel efficiency. It's mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with two overdrive gears, which further helps improve fuel efficiency.

Safety featues include Ford's AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, which provides improved traction and control on slippery surfaces. Four-wheel disc antilock brakes, MacPherson struts, and an independent suspension provide a smooth and capable ride, according to drivers and reviewers. In addition, the Edge offers a tight turning radius. However, some drivers note that the Edge's brakes, when applied, take too long to stop the vehicle, a fact borne out by recent tests, which indicate that the Edge has one of the longest braking distances in its class.

As far as the interior is concerned, the Edge comes well-appointed, with all the expected power amenities as well as flexible seating and a full range of air bags. Many drivers also enjoy the Panoramic Vista roof, which includes a large forward panel that tilts up or fully opens, and a fixed rear skylight. The Vista roof is optional on the SEL and Limited trims, but is not available on the entry-level SE trim.

This car had major power steering issues. Not sure if that is something that is a problem with this kind of vehicle. They said it would cost over $5,000 to fix it. No thank you. Sep 09, 2024

The car was in really bad condition so it was an ABSOLUTE NO. I then decided to drive another Edge ( 2014) they had on the lot which I loved but thought was way too expensive for the year & milleage so I took it to a Ford dealer to have it looked at and it was completely rotted underneath, the air conditioner was broken along with SEVERAL other issues that would have had me sitting on a very expensive lemon. I do not recomend this dealership as there was no way they didnt know of all the issues with this car. Spending $180 to get the car checked out saved me THOUSANDS of dollars. Buyer beware!
