TwoEdges

My wife and I each purchased an EDGE. I traded in a FreeStyle and she traded in her JEEP. We purchased and SEL and SEL Plus. Both AWD with the Sunroof. So far the SEL has no issues except for missing paint. The SEL Plus has a bad valve tap when the engine first starts. Dealer claims it's normal. Paid $36K, I do not expect my new edge to sound like an old V8 with 100K+ miles. Also, both Edges needed to be painted. Take a look at your EDGE rear lift gate on the top. Look behind the weather seal and in the inside of the rear lift gate door, both were missing paint at the top. Looks like FORD was trying to cut real close to save paint. Check with a few other EDGE owners and they were missing paint in the same spot. Also, getting picky here, but the SEL's engine compartment was completely painted in the body color, the SEL Plus has the whole engine compartment in green primer. Must be a MONDAY paint job. Otherwise, no trouble. We both enjoy driving the EDGES. We were looking at two ACURA MDXs; I hope we did not make a bad decision. I agree with a previous post - I don't think FORD EXECs really care about the customer. We'll see how the first year goes; if not good, I'll cut my loss and trade them in on MDXs and bid goodbye to FORDs.
