Hi everyone,
I just bought my first Edge this past weekend. It's a used 2013 Edge SEL in black. It had about 15,000 KMs (about 9,300 mi) in its six months of service, but it was in pristine condition on the lot.
I flew out from Manitoba to a dealer in Calgary to pick it up - the price of $25,500 CDN was worth the trip. Then I got to enjoy driving it back home - a 1,300 KM, 13 hour drive across the prairies. It was actually a very pleasant trip!
I bought this as a replacement for a Murano that gave me a lot of headaches. You hear a lot about import quality but unfortunately I didn't get to enjoy much of that... had to replace the alternator, $1,000 module and then the piece de resistance, the full AWD transmission, all on my own dime. Enough was enough.
I had my eye on Edges for a while and thought a new one would be a bit out of my price range until this one popped up. It is definitely nicely appointed inside and is in my opinion as comfortable, if not more so, than the Murano.
After my negative transmission experience with the Murano, I decided to keep it simple with a FWD transmission. I plan to get winter tires this fall given the very harsh winters here. I have driven a FWD Escape with regular tires through the snow and it handles like a champ, so I figure the Edge should be OK on that score.
Anyway, I am pumped to learn a bit about taking care of my Edge and getting the most out of it from you guys!
