2007 Ford Edge SE AWD review from North America
"Comfortable non versatile SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Front brake pads and rotor resurfacing at 18,000 miles under warranty.
- 10,000 miles later I am having the same problem as I did before, brakes are squeaking constantly while driving.
Other than small brake issues, I have had absolutely no problems with this car.
General comments?
Overall I have been satisfied with the Edge.
The thing I like most is how comfortable this car feels when driving, the seats are great.
The acceleration is okay, not what you would expect from the 260 hp engine. As for mpg, I drive this car 60 miles round trip to work, 90% highway driving and I average 17 - 18 mpg. Not exactly the 24 mpg on the window sticker.
I've driven full size trucks that handle better than this... Although it is very easy to maneuver in traffic and parking lots.
I live in the snow belt, and let's just say I've gotten the Edge stuck a few times. Not exactly what I would expect from an AWD SUV, but it does handle fairly decent in the snow.
My major gripe with the car is the lack of utility; if you need to pick up some wood and need to have the trunk up, there are absolutely no tie down in the car or anything to even tie to on the trunk. Not very versatile, but then again it isn't a truck.
