  1. Simply amazing. Thanks Rmmick. Have you driven it going uphill? Does it gets overtaken by regular V6s? I'm waiting anxiously for your pics.
  2. I'd like to know about this as well. I would really like to order a 2016 Sport but I noticed you can't add the Class 2 Trailer Tow Package to it when building it online.
  3. Nice rmmick! Is yours a 2.0 EB or the Old V6? I'm worried of the performance of the 2.0 EB going up hills and its actual acceleration from 0 to 60.
  4. Can you also show us pictures of the ambient lighting at night?
  5. You should do a 0-60 test now and then another after the engine settles nicely after 5000 miles just to compare. Otherwise you'll never know how the engine settling actually helped or hurt the performance.
  6. One thing that concerns me for those of us who can't afford the Sport version or the V6 (due to high fuel consumption) is that the Autoblog review says it goes from 0 to 60 in 10 seconds!! Not good... not good at all.
  7. Last year's model 3.5L engine did well with an 88 octane fuel, which will mostly fall in the regular fuel category. I'd say the same goes for this year's Edge.
  8. I think I'll wait a few months to order my Edge. I read on a different post that Ford engineers usually wait 6 months to identify and rework most of the problems on their cars and then they just look for a way to make the car cost less. If by the time I order mine the 2016 comes into production then I'll just wait for that one instead. I'll keep an eye on early buyers reviews.
  9. I forgot to mention. The leasing options down are really bad, here we don't have good leasing options like you folks in the US. Basically we don't get a residual value for our cars once the lease is up. We have to pay the whole thing as in a regular finance deal.
  10. Thanks for your reply akirby, The problem here is that I'm not located in the United States, down here were I live the Ford Dealership is really lousy. People complain all the time on their Facebook page, apparently getting parts for fixes takes over a month while the car stays at their garage the whole time. Also their mechanics suck and don't get things fixed. I'm not sure about it now.
  11. Hello, I've just found this forum and this is my first post. I'm really looking forward to the 2015 Edge but I'm concerned about this one being a first year model. This one could be my first Ford ever. According to Ford they built it from the ground up based on the 2013 Fusion Platform, meaning there a lot of new parts/technology introduced on the 2015 Edge. As you know, this could potentially come with quality/performance problems not caught early on development or quality assurance. I did some research and found this website truedelta.com with real owner reviews. http://www.truedelta.com/Ford-Edge/reliability-728 Apparently the 2011 Ford Edge did came with problems straight from the factory (first year model). Then I checked the stats on the Fusion http://www.truedelta.com/Ford-Fusion/reliability-98 And this one is the worst. The 2013 model which is also a first year model has lots of issues. Now I'm thinking: It's no fun laying down $40K for a car that will go in and out of the dealership for repairs all the time and maybe not get fixed at all. There are also some 2011 Edge owners that complain a lot about problems with the power train, transmission, car stalling out of nowhere. What do you guys think? Is it worth it?
