OMG....if we had to do it over we wouldn't buy an Edge with Sync!!!!. This vehicle 2012 is 7 mos old, (had an 08 Edge) love the handling, ride, interior (needs some design modifications on the hazard signals etc), but really really don't like Sync. Ours went black screen so after diagnostics, then waiting for the part, then installing we finally at least got radio/climate etc, but still waiting for an update from Ford. Nav doesn't work, outside temp reading on the screen doesn't work, just a mess....plus all the gas that was used testing/updating etc. As we don't live close to a dealer this is alot of time wasting back and forth. With a black screen you have no idea of car climate, no entertainment, no phone sync, no nav. My partner is looking to trade this now and not with another Ford but a different brand. So many complaints out there on this and really no good fix insite. It's impacted the vehicle trade-in value as well. We've had Ford's for many years since the '80s, but truthfully never again. If your thinking of buying a Ford with Sync...do yourself a favour and DON'T!

With high hopes riding on the Fusion & Edge, I wonder why Ford chose to leave off the center stack vent open/close feature on the EDGE, while doing it for the outboard vents. I personnal don't like the wind in my hair ALL the time, I reserve that for my Mustang convert! Rest assured the competition has them.

Also deleted is the outside temp reading on the EDGE, while the Fusion , Taurus, F-150/ 250 truck retain them. I miss that. Once you've had it for the past decade or so, you miss it. Are you listening Ford?

Lastly the center stack GLARE. Man, who signed off on THAT fo-pah!

 

Hi...are you sure the outside temp reading is gone on the 07 Edge? We looked at one yesterday and the display was between the passenger/driver dual temp control. We didn't see it and had to ask the sales person. That's the one thing we wanted since we do alot of winter driving. The website (Cdn) lists it.

3 trim levels probably means the SE, SEL and SEL plus.

Maybe I will wait for the 2008 to come available. It is getting late to order one for 2007 as the wait time is 10 weeks.

Anyone know when you will likely be able to order a 2008 in Canada?

Thanks

Hi ...We checked with Ford Customer Service this am. and this is their info "You can order 08 Edge on Mon July 9th through your dealer".
