Long time no see, but we finally did get back into an Edge here in the UK; 2017 Sport 2.0 diesel 210bhp - purchased March ‘22.
 

Still reasonably rare here and would like a red facelift ST Line one day, but glad to be back

Is that your average?  if so thats still not horrible, if i were you though i would take a peak at the BMW 335D or if you need some cargo the X3 Diesel. I have a 335D and on the highway i average 42mpg on 40 cetane and about 48mpg on 50 cetane.

 

 

Ugh freedom units are so complicated.....we all just need to use metric....

 

Average yeah - not too bad I guess, I can live with it for the look of the car! Previous UK car (Citroen C4 Picasso) would get 45-50 and my other car (Mini Cooper D) does 62! But our 2013 Edge SEL 2.0EB used to get around 21 (18 US)

Lol, yes took a while to get used to again after living in Canada, but we stuck with Autos after having 3 there!

Real world it’s getting 28-30 ?

Yeah it’s true, the Edge can’t be ordered new in the UK now, but it’s made the used prices go back up by about £2k from what I can see, they’re just a bit too expensive here! 

Kuga (Escape) sells A LOT more, ours is ST Line-X with every option except tow bar, and I had the deep impact blue as it’s the best colour and most ST looking - the UK one has full body kit the Escape doesn’t have afaik? It’s 2.0 diesel with 180hp, pretty quick but bad on fuel!

 

Well I’ve been away from here for a few years (back in the UK for 5 1/2 years now actually!) and still not back in an Edge - we came close but the numbers didn’t work (they give really poor future values on credit for them here) so I got us into a 2017 Kuga (Escape) ST line and loving it so far. Maybe the next car will be an Edge, if only they sold the ST here...! The new 2020 Puma looks nice but too small, and not keen on the 2020 Kuga/Escape... Good to see this sites still going strong

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks - looks like the Sport is a diesel here! "208bhp 2.0-litre biturbo diesel, fitted with a six-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive"

Thinking about the folks who aren't active much on the forum anymore, shoutout to Dingo, wannabang, thirdgenlxi, Cellbine, and many more. Hope all of you are doing well, and checking in from time to time. Do take the time to post and let us know how you are and what you are up to

Just checking in for first time in many months to see all the new 16/17s... We're back in the UK 2 years this month and miss our Edge - and Canada - every day!

 

Only seen a black test mule on the streets here so far but Edge is coming, except for now at least I'll need a lottery win to get one (Sport, blue I think!) but then it would come up against an F-Pace and might lose out

 

Driving this at the moment because we now have 3 children and need 3 child seats across the back row

Nice to see all the 2015's appearing on the site, I sure as hell wish I was still in Canada and in the market for one, I miss my Edge!

 

Back in the uk now for work and family and the only way I'll be realistically getting in one of these is a lottery win at the moment! At least the Edge will be coming to uk soon for the first time

 

Anyway, the topic is about the all black rims from the sport show cars; are they not available yet, are they an expensive option? I feel like the stock wheels are not as special, 1 size too small, not tough enough, anyone else feel the same or planning to change your rims?

Here's the kijiji ad

A little update: so I'm not getting a Fusion and I will be giving up the Edge instead I'm moving back to the UK because I got a job offer I can't refuse (working on The Division for those who know what it is) and our children need to grow up knowing their family!

 

At first we'll be in an old car for a while but maybe once things settle down I'll look at the 2015 Mondeo or Edge!

Here you go, a test with Jeep Cherokee wheels and Tires - looks good with Black rims, would also help to have roof rails I think

 

Update, car is live on LeaseBusters now with $1000 incentive

Test drove Escape 1.6 Ecoboost today and it's a dog IMO, slow, loud and rough... Maybe the fact it was under 100km didn't help, plus the Escape felt like a shell compared to the Edge...

 

1.5 Fusion was much better, still not enough power but if possible it was more refined, plus the car felt more upscale

 

Decisions... Would love to just keep the Edge though!!

Hey akirby, how do you like the fusion after you're first year? Test drove one today and liked a lot, just unsure about practicality with 2 children (stroller!).

Some info if anyone is interested to take over my lease in Montreal region:

 

2013 Edge SEL App Pack Ecoboost FWD

Platinum White Tricoat

22,000 Km's - upto 75,000 available free

24 payments left @ $590 inc tax

 

Some features:

MFT, rear camera

Driver entry pkg, remote start, keyless go

Power lift gate

Illuminated door sills

 

PM me for info, serious interest only pls

 

So keeping the Edge is proving tricky, the payments take too much money away from the family, so after 15 months I'm having to seriously look at a lease swap on mine and then I'll do a new lease (temp resident so it's just safer that way) for a '14 Escape or Fusion for lower payments.

 

I would go for a Cherokee Trailhawk but Jeep don't lease in Quebec anymore, so Ford is my best option as my local dealer actively uses leasebusters.

 

Anyone with experience of the New Escape or Fusion have any input? I love the look of the Fusion but with 2 children it's probably not ideal.

 

I'll post about our Edge in the classified section

I like how butch it is and also that it doesn't share the 'Aston Martin' grille. I thought it might be a bit more 'Edgey' - its a bit safe looking, same as the older models.

 

I like that they broke up the sides with crease lines - those could work well with vinyls if anyone were to make some...

 

It seems smaller than the current Edge, but maybe thats not the case?

 

Here's a quick and messy side by side I did:

I would like to sell my OEM 17" winter wheels (rim only, no tire or TPMS) - how much can I realistically ask for them and expect to get, local pickup maybe on kijiji?

 

They are mint, used only for last winter around 3k Km's

 

I would buy some black 17" alloys instead - hopefully for less ($140 per rim the ones I want)

 

Thanks

 

Judging by the front end shots the leak and render are along the right lines...

 

Looks like the front wipers will be reverse action also

First rendering based off the leaked image of the 2015 Edge, plus info on the various models

Not bad but I hope that it looks better than this, too much like other current cars and not enough like the Fusion, Focus and Fiesta styling

On yours I'd say all black, although all blue looks good like the app pack too - definitely no two-tone. And paint the chrome top bar

Added pics of mine to get this started, SEL app pack with 3M on the top grille chrome and not much else... was going to hold out for some mods but I won't be doing that until next year; hitch, roof rack and basket, mud flaps, vinyl stripe/logo on doors. Might get some new black winter rims this year if I can shift my OEM 17's, if not I'll dip them instead

Where'd you pick up the appearance pkg rims from? Look good!

They're Explorer Sport rims, slightly different - they do look good!

Me too, all of the above on our 13 SEL App Pack

 

Wish we got the Ruby Red instead.... next time maybe
