Thanks for your reply. That seems to be the general concensus. I read that the Ford engineer in charge of the Edge (Feder?) did tweak the suspension in order to give the car better handling and a more "taut" driving experience. I just wondered if that was a good idea on a 4000 pound car. Heavy vehicles, in the past, were often loosly sprung in order to rebound comfortably over bumps and at the same time not transfer the heavy jarring into the cabin. According to other Edge owners, it seems like they found the perfect compromise. I'm comparing no other cars- just my old Edge to my new Edge. What do you guys think?

Hi all- I have just traded in my beloved 2008 Edge SEL with 99,000 miles. The car fit me like a glove. Best car I've ever owned (and I've owned a lot!). Anyway, the question I have is for anyone who has owned the older style Edge (2007-2010) and is currently driving the newer style Edge (2011-2013). I noticed that my new 2013 SE is noticeably quieter and handles and brakes a little better. Gas mileage so far, is about the same (19 average). How about the tighter steering? Now for my "buyers remorse?" concerns: Since the changes to the suspension, what are your impressions of the overall comfort level, i.e. ride quality over uneven surfaces? Most people seem to think it's a great improvment, but others (like Cars.Com and Consumer Reports don't like the ride comfort at all). I think I'm over thinking the whole thing during the first 350 miles of driving my new car. Any comments and impressions would be welcome!
