While attending the Motor Trend Auto Show here in Phoenix in November, someone at the Ford booth approached me to see if I would like to schedule a test drive of any Ford vehicle for a $75 gift card. I said absolutely and scheduled a test drive of an Edge at my local dealer.
My wife is so in love the the car that I was going to buy one even without the test drive, but after taking it for a spin, I'm convinced it's the right vehicle. Coming from a performance motorcycle background, I have a good idea of how stuff should work and came away impressed with the Edge. It was fast enough, road firm (which is how I like it) and handled well enough for a vehicle of it's type. I came away most impressed on how the brakes felt. I guess just about anything with four wheel disks will feel better than the disk/drum set up of my '85 El Camino. But the Edge's brakes gave excellent feedback in my opinion. Close to that of a motorcycle, though not even close in power.
