With Ford of Canada's recent deal of 0% financing, I'm considering making the jump from my Fusion to an 2008 Edge Limited.
I live in Windsor, ON...
I've got a several questions, that I hope some of you "seasoned" Edge owners might be able to answer.
1) Not sure if I need to go with AWD or just FWD, with the cost of gas going up and up... I'm wondering if there is any appreciable difference in gas mileage between the two?
2) I'm wondering about the chrome clad wheels, how well do they hold up to curb rash?
3) If I go with AWD, I'm wondering if the 20's will handle as well as the 18" aluminums?
4) How does the Vista roof handle an all-black interior in the summer? I know my black interior in my Fusion gets crazy hot if the sun roof is left open. Does the shade keep the black leather seats (in the Edge) cool?
5) I've read up on the problems with red Edges when they first came out... are they still a problem with the 08's? The reason I'm asking is I was thinking of getting a red limited with 20's and the interior package. (does anyone have pics of this setup?)
Sorry for the mulitple questions, but I thought it would be better to post one message than multiple ones.
thanks in advance folks...
