  1. Left this morning and drove to Corpus Christi TX. 165 miles, set the cruise control at 75 almost the whole way. lots of fog, nobody on the road. Car is nice on the freeway. Came back late afternoon. Got in a caravan behind a BMW 750 and Land Rover going 95-100 almost the whole way back. I was amazed at how calm and well behaved the Edge is at that speed. My 05 Escape was scary at over 85mph. Drove almost 150 miles at those speeds. Made is down and back on 1 tank of gas, with some to spare. MPG for the tank of gas was 19.28. Not bad for flying. i think we passed Santa Claus.

  2. When i got my Edge on July 13, 2007, it had 600 miles on it as it was a dealer trade. Now it only has 1,400 miles on it. I keep smelling coolant when i walk in front of the car after parking it in the garage. so today, i finally opened the hood. (What a nice engine area.) The coolant resevior is half way between the marks on it. But there is a wet film all over the engine area, it is watery with a little oil of some type. The car has not overheated, but i am going to call the dealer Monday about it.

  3. As a single man (Maybe older than most Edge Buyers - 45) i love the Edge. I finally had a chance today to do a full throttle accel from a stop light against a youngster in his Mustang. It was kinda of funny seeing him gettting left in the dust. I got to 45 and let off. he blasted past me...right into the cops radar trap.

    My other vehicle is a 07 Explorer Sport Trac. I use it for trips to the coast every couple of weeks. Only had it for about 10 weeks, already have 5,500 miles on it. Have the Edge for not a month, i put only 600 miles on it - it had 600 miles on when i got it.

  4. I too cannot understand their colors, or how far off the colors in the Edge brochure does not match the actual car color. I finally decided on a Dark Amethyst after seeing the color in the Edge brochure, but no-one had one. When they finally got one it, it looks almost black, not purple. As they had not blue ( i had a sonic blue Escape and Ranger before), i chose the only other normal color-redfire

  5. My solution...Wal-Mart, in the table cloth area-a 60 x something rectangular table cloth in almost the same color as the interior. Only $11.97 plus tax. I keep it folded up under the back seat when not needed. Then just unfold, toss over everything in the back of the car.

    To remove the headrests, simply straighten the outermost end of a paperclip, raise the headrest to its uppermost position, insert the paperclip into the small hole on the plastic headrest guide, and press firmly while pulling upwards on the headrest.

    i have on 07 Edge SEL Plus and I too am annoyed with the extreme angle of the headrest. It seems to annoy us taller drivers (over 5-10). I tried the above to release the front headrest and nothing happens when i push firmly. HELP
