CreamEDGE.

Around in the city the MPG drop is huge VS FWD.

I have an AWD CX-7 with the same system, different tuning, and the AWD just soaks up city MPG.

FWD edge, it does nicely, on the highway the 2 mpg drop is accurate.

AWD is worth it though, imo.

It has a lot to do with the terrible 6F transmission, as the Lambda's are experiencing the same issues.

New PTU's are about 5K, so look into a warranty.

I like the satin finish on the door panels a lot more, and the interior seems like it was all designed in unison, I just hate the front clip on the MKX.

As far as the brakes go, not the same at all. I can activate ABS so easily in our EDGE and in the CX-7 I can stop on the dime and not hear a single thing. They're more touchy as well, I notice this whenever I jump out of one and into the other.

Seats are person specific, the CX-7's seats have more bolstering, and the EDGE's seats are more flat for easier driving and wider frames.

The sport interior is cheap looking. GT is a night and day difference.

The CX-7 had a lot of minor issues with early builds. the EDGE isn't without it's build issues like poor paint and bad AWD PTO units, clunking transmissions, leaking engines.... etc.

Most of the problems with the CX-7 are fixable if your dealer knows what they're doing. If you we're to ask most members on the board about the problems experianced they would be minor and happy about their purchase, all late builds and 2008's have almost no problems. Even the early builds we're just issues like wide spread gas cap problems and VSSV valve issues relating to CEL's, nothing effected drivability.

--also, at a glance, the issues aren't even issues... just high expectations and misunderstandings

I have a mac... and it works just fine on vBulliten boards/other boards with this same software..

Maybe I should have been a bit more clear, when I log in after being logged out it does not show new posts, it says that there isn't any, and obviously there are.

I also like to stay logged in.. but as of late it hasn't been letting me.

As far as I know the doors and stuff have to be closed for them to go off and prevent drain.

Definitly agree, I like the interior on the MKX a lot more, even though the door panels and etc. are the same they just feel put together better in the MKX, the center stack also looks 23242 times better.

The eBay seller selling these fake vents needs to be shot

OOOOOOOK

So I click on remember me, and when I come back I'm logged out - this forum isn't holding their cookies

And when I hit new posts, I get a big fat slice of nothing.

that is all.

Please, Sirius SUX. It constantly cuts.

XM plz.

Nice. The MKX is still pretty exclusive.

No one makes new headlamp bezels for the EDGE yet.

You could use those projectors in the link you provided and fabricate(ruin the original headlamps and make them projectors by cutting into them, etc.).

It won't heat up the interior, the shade does a great job of keeping the heat out.

It's worth EVERY dime for the BAMR. The only rattle I had was with the BAMR & headliner and it was fixed quickly.

Nissan just cut a nice fat check for CD, I mean a HARSH ride! LOL!!! If anything it's a little too floaty.

The engine is best in class, I'm guessing MT thought the engine was "gritty" sounding when they picked the CX-9 for SOTY, or when Wards picked the engine for an award, the VQ vibrates over 5K and the CVT is worse than turbo lag off the line.

The EDGE is so quite... they're clearly slanting this for the new Morono.

The comments about the CX-7 are also quite laughable, last year they loved it, now they can't stand it.

You will not accomplish those things.. how much is the balance on your loan?

If you have ANY negative equity trading in your car, you would be looking at a used Focus or something to get a lower payment. Then after suffering the loss on the EDGE it would all be worthless.

Well SE's don't have many options, the OP has an 07 SE AWD and the EDGE I looked at was an 07 SE AWD (black door handles and mirror covers) Roof rails and stuff... SE's are barebones.

The EDGE's resell is terrible, it's not worth trading in, you will not save a dime.

Oh, and I was just at my Mazda dealer ordering some parts, they had a blazing copper SE selling for 18,995 or something like that, you can expect about a thousand or more less if you privately sell. You're just not going to get more than that.

Stop spamming sweetheart.

They don't have the 50K warranty anymore. And I think the old 5 started at 17K, yeah it's cheap and not in the same field as either the CX-7 or 9, the power just isn't there, neither is the interior quality, but for 17K they're damn good.

If you think Mazda isn't above Ford in quality why would Ford heavily rely on them for platforms, engine tech, chassis tuning etc. The only thing Ford does is style them differently, give them different interiors (fusion VS mazda6 for example) and try to improve on little stuff to differentiate from Mazda.

Even A-Plan price was outrageous on the CX-9, plus I can't stand those front fenders, UUUGGGLLLYYY, doesn't go with rest of car I think, Mazda quality isn't near Fords, look at consumer reports....

If you think Ford is above Mazda in the engineering/reliability department you're in another world. Nearly all Ford's are riding on Volvo/Mazda technology hun.

You're excused though, you read consumer reports and believe it.

If you really read it closely, you would see the major reliability issue is the audio system.

CR's reliability surveys are seriously flawed.

No no no, they mean Ice Cube the rapper/actor.

Anyway the xB is an ugly porker.

Yeah, maybe in a few years but all the displacement addicts will go nuts because the Ecoboost in the EDGE will most likely be a 4cyl pushing 270hp.

GO, divorce her if she gets in your way. :shades:
