Have had my Edge since March 2007 - AWD SEL without the Vista roof since I am 6"3" and prefer to have the headroom. My Manager also has an Edge plus Vista roof and when I rode in her car there is a lot of wind noise with the roof open.
I had a Mazda Tribute and GMC Jimmy before the Edge and I MUCH prefer the Edge. I was always a confirmed GM man but the Edge changed my mind. When I was looking for a new vehicle, only the Edge could give me all the options that I wanted.I like the Mazda CX7 (which is smaller) but I wanted leather seats without the sunroof and guess what - that option is not available. also the "fit and finish" really impressed me. It feels like a quality product - no rattles or squeaks and even the plastic trim panels feel solid and well put together.
I now have 21,000km on my Edge and have had no problems until last week when I took it back to the dealer with the well known "oil smell" which turns out to be the PTU seal leaking onto the exhaust. Should be fixed on Monday..
I am leasing the Edge and have been asked whether I would have another Edge at the end of the lease. Answer: YES :yup:
Hope this helps with your choice.
