  1. Why Yikes on the Urea Tank? Most clean diesels have them. No extended warranty on the VW. We usually do not keep our cars long enough to warrant the added expense.
  2. It is assembled in Tennessee but the powertrain and engineering are from Germany and you can tell the difference. Diesel too smelly?!? You sound like a 5 year old girl. Woudnt want you to mess up your manicure. :hysterical2: Ecoboost was not available in 2011 and still no where near the economy. Urea tank gets topped off every 10k miles but it is covered under the VW maintenance.
  3. We filled up the tank with 15 gallons of diesel, drove around town, then drove from orange county to vegas, then around vegas, then back to orange county. This was the status when we got home. 567 miles driven and 155 miles left in the tank. This was while driving over 80mph to and from vegas since we went on Sunday and came home on Tuesday. There wasn't any traffic. The TDI has incredible torque and power as well as out of sight fuel economy. The edge is a great car but it was just not for us in the current stage of my wifes taxi service. I on the other hand will be giving my Tacoma to my son next year and I anticipate picking up a GT500 at that time.
  4. The edge had about 26k miles on it and was getting close to needing new tires. They gave me 30k.
  5. We had a pretty good experience with the Edge. It was a beautiful car. The MFT was finicky at times and the navigation system was horrible. The sony stereo was decent. There was an exhaust rattle and certain frequencies that bugged me and the bumpers coloring did not completely match the rest of the car. The one thing that drove us to getting rid of the car was the mileage. My wife mostly drove around town taking one child to middle school and the other to high school and then back and forth for soccer, lacrosse, and basketball practices and church youth groups, etc. Around town the edge sucks the fuel, probably between 12 and 15 mpg and the tank is so small that my wife was getting fuel every three days. We had a hard time finding a replacement similar bells and whistles and around town fuel economy that we needed. The new fusion hybrid that is coming out was somewhat promising but it lacks the features of the edge sport and the battery makes the trunk too small for all of our gear. We decided finally on a 2013 Passat TDI SEL. The car is beautiful and the driving experience of a German engineered car is second to none. The car has a range of 700-800 miles per tank of diesel. We should get about 40 MPG around town and below is a picture of the MPG on my 25 mile commute to work this morning. The torque and power of this car is amazing as well. 2011 Ford Edge Sport sold to Car Max New 2013 Passat TDI SEL Mileage on my 25 mile commute into work this morning
  6. Venza's dash looks like a re-tread they picked up off the highway. Too much rubber.
  7. My wife keeps bitching about how often she has to go to the gas station. She get horrible mileage running the kids all over town. Plus a relatively small tank doesn't help matters.
  8. Just got mine back from the Dealer. I had purchased the car in September so I had a very early version of software. It made a HUGE difference.
  9. I just downloaded 4.3 last night. I will test out the capabilities today.
  10. Mine did the same thing about a month ago. No problems since.
  11. Yep, ordered straight from Weathertech. 2010 is the same as 2011.
