  1. Do you mean the foam bins around the spare wheel? Mine seem to float and do not appear to be snapped down at all.
  2. Welcome to the Ford family ☺ and to the forum. Post your 2016 Edge review here: http://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/19647-your-new-2016-edge-review/
  3. I purchased Husky liners for my 2016 Edge. They fit perfectly even though they are listed for the 2015 Edge. I find the Husky liners provide a bit better protection especially on the dead pedal. The Husky liner part number is 98781. https://www.huskyliners.com/search-part-number/98781
  4. I own a 2011 Edge Limited and a 2016 Edge Sport. Both have laminated front glass but I find the 2016 Edge considerably quieter than the 2011.
  5. Etis shows 95 octane for my Edge and the exhaust fumes smell rich which is typical of higher octane.
  6. I have a fully loaded (minus rear DVD... does anyone really buy this?) white platinum 2016 Edge Sport. I took delivery January 14th in Ottawa. The Edge is very nice. Overall quality seems generally good. Body panels and interior panels are well aligned. Here's what I have noticed so far: 1. The driver's door handle doesn't align with the door handle cap. This is due to the black plastic bracket which holds the cap being installed incorrectly which will require a trip to the dealership and some warranty work next week. 2. There was a rattle coming from the rear seat belt due to the cargo cover plastic clips that fasten to the headrest posts. This was easily corrected by pushing the headrest down tighter. 3. There is some paint scratched off of the passenger side upper door hinge. Clearly this is not visible with the door closed. Thankfully I picked up some touchup paint when I took delivery so I will touch it up myself. 4. The front dash has some minor damaged jagged plastic pieces beside the glove box where the dash meets the door. It looks like something sharp was dragged along the edge of the console and it dug into a few places. 5. There's a 'Made in Oakville' sticker applied to the right inside lower portion of the windshield. I'm Canadian so yes I'm proud that the Edge is built here but I hate stickers applied to my car. I even refused to let the dealer add their dealership sticker. Needless to say this sticker will be coming off however it is going to be very difficult to remove due to its location on the windshield. 6. While inspecting the sticker above, I noticed a small piece of foam sealant exposed from the outside of the right side of the windshield. It measures about 1/4" by 1/8" so it is very minor but noticeable if you're looking at how to remove the sticker mentioned above ☺. Most of these issues are minor, except for #1 which requires a trip to the dealership and #5 which bothers me. Again, I find the overall quality to be very good. The issues I've listed above are mostly minor due to my OCD. Sync 3 seems to work great. I am very pleased with the touch screen and the voice command response times. The screen is capacitive so big winter mitts don't work, but winter drivers gloves with capacitive finger tips work great ? and the voice command support is impressive. I was surprised to find that there is no SD card for the navigation system so I'm not sure how map updates will be managed but I'm hoping we can get map updates via wifi. The texture of the touch screen combined with the mounting angle makes it awkward to drag upwards but pinching to zoom and dragging downwards work fine. I'm anxiously waiting for the Android Auto update. The dealer let me try Sync 3 in the Escape before I ordered my Edge and it was very awkward to use due to how far the screen was recessed in the dash. The screen is mounted much more accessibly in the Edge. Sirius XM services do not seem to provide traffic for Ottawa and the closest city for weather is in the US. I was surprised by this because the Sirius XM web site lists Ottawa and other Canadian cities for both Traffic and Weather. Perhaps there may be a subscription issue? The first 1/4 of fuel in the gas tank disappeared after only 60 kms. This is somewhat concerning however I know fuel economy on a new engine is not indicative of future fuel economy. Hopefully the next 1/4 tank will get me 120 km. Here are some more comments which I previously posted in the "Any 2016 Edge sightings yet?" thread: The adaptive steering will take some time to get used to. Driving home from the dealership the steering seemed to correct itself on the highway off ramp while turning. This caught me off gourd however I suppose it's possible the steering is calibrating itself. I'm also not accustomed to the moving directional lines in the backup camera since my 2011 Edge does not have them. The camera angle is also considerably different but I believe it is better than in the previous Edge. The ride is more rough then I recall from my test drive but my test drive Edge Sport only had the 20" wheels and my ordered Edge Sport has the 21".
  7. Thanks for the link. I confirmed my rattle was coming from the cargo cover plastic clips connected to the headrest posts. Pushing the headrest down further stopped the rattle.

Body panels and interior panels are well aligned. I have noticed two issues so far. The driver's door handle seems to recess too far so it doesn't align with the door handle cap and there's a rattle coming from the back somewhere however I haven't investigated it at all. The rattle could be something simple like the rear seat belt.
  9. My Edge Sport is equipped with the power steering column. The window sticker lists it as part of the 401A package. Note that I am in Canada.
  10. My 2016 Edge Sport arrived at the dealership yesterday. I'm picking it up Thursday and will confirm the power steering column then.
  11. My 2016 Edge Sport arrived at the dealership yesterday. I take delivery on Thursday.
  12. I'm in Canada so I can't comment on Sync services however I also own a 2011 Edge Limited. My advice is to ensure you service your brakes annually. If you are mechanically inclined this is very easy to do yourself. I failed to do this for a few years when I purchased my Edge and was stuck with an $1100 bill. Now I do it twice a year .
  13. The scheduled delivery date for my 2016 Edge Sport is Jan. 18th. I placed my order November 20th.
  14. Moj.io is currently $6 / month Canadian. Did you get it for $10 / year?
  15. I wonder if the 2016 models will be able to add the Sync Connect 4G LTE capability to Sync 3.
  16. Can you provide the updated Canadian order guide?
  17. Yikes! I hope it doesn't get that bad for me. I really just need someone to provide the v3.8 update for a 2011 Edge with nav and I think it will be okay... the same process worked for me for v3.6.2.
  18. I just reported the v3.6.2 install (see attached image). The Ford owners site still says that my Sync is up-to-date even though it's clearly not ?.
  19. I've attached an image of my update history. As you can see my last confirmed update was v3.5.1 however I successfully installed v3.6.2 that was provided to me by direct download since I could not access it from the Ford Owners Site.
  20. I'm definitely on the right site for Canada. Unfortunately the site says my Edge is already up to date with v3.5 even though I've already installed v3.6.2 manually.
  21. My local dealership will say that v3.5 is the latest version available for my 2011 Edge with nav. however I've already successfully installed v3.6.2 by manually downloading it. As such, the dealership will not likely help me to get v3.8 .
  22. Is there any way to direct download the MFT update? I need the update for Gen2 v3.8 for a 2011 Edge with nav however it is not available for me to download on the Ford owners site. If there's no direct download option, can someone please share it with me? Thanks!!!
  23. I ordered my Touren TR60 (20" 5x108 40 mm offset) from canadawheels.ca. I was able to price match 1010tires and get free shipping. I will purchase DM-V2's from Costco next month during the Bridgestone promotion.
