Since I bought the Edge I've noticed it's driven by more chicks than old men or men in general. Don't think you can do much about that unless you decide to add 36" Mudders and fender flares. The only differences I see between the Sport and other models are the wheels and the grill color, which I hate and plan to do something about. I may paint it black or maybe match the color of the car, Kodiak Brown. And oh yeah the plastic Sport badge. 2 things I do with every vehicle; pull off anything dealer related and the badges. But hey different strokes for different folks. If you like it go for it. What color by the way?

Mills- Not to get into your business but why the Sport? Don't get me wrong, I love HP. But I don't see the value of paying a few extra grand for just 20 more horses. 40-50 more HP is a different story. I bet you can find a loaded Limited or SEL for a lot less. 3 weeks ago I picked up a Certified Pre Owned 2014 loaded SEL AWD with 3,700 miles. One owner, clean carfax, vehicle was bought from the same dealer and the original owner changed the oil after 6 months and 2,000 miles. 20" wheels (chrome clad though), leather, Nav, BLIS, vista roof, remote cargo door, remote start, etc... I even got 4 keys and Weathertech Smoke window guards. 2014 Window Sticker was $42,000 plus a few more for dealer add-ons. Dealer was asking $33,000 but while I was sitting there they listed it on their website as an internet blowout price of $29,000. I don't jerk around with salesmen so I demanded the GM to be next to me to negotiate. After a considerable amount of time, I'm not going to pretend it was easy, I got them down to my price of $25,000. The next day the GM called me to cancel our deal and return my deposit because he said he was losing money. Probably because they didn't take down the web price and got a better offer. So I basically got a 10 month old 3,700 mile $44,000 car for $25,000. My point is this: 1) I'm one hell of a negotiator!!! and 2) If you're here to ask if it's a good deal, it means you're not thrilled about it and may have buyers remorse if you get it. My advice is to keep looking until you find what you want for the price you want. There are a ton of Edge's out there. If you asked me the day before I got the Edge what I was looking to buy I probably would have told you a Dodge Journey Crossroad. Opinions and opportunities can change that fast.

With a few inches down this morning I was out and running about. It handles extremely well and predictable. Turn a sharp corner under acceleration and it's easy to bring it back while still under power. My only fear are the clad wheels. I'm afraid of damaging them if I cut the side of a snow bank or hit some hard snow and ice.

Mixed MPG up to 17.5. The engine is loosening up and revving better too. This thing probably never saw a highway.

Joe, I got the Edge at George Wall Ford in Shrewsbury. I like Tom's Ford and will likely get my service done there. The deal I got at George Wall was too good to pass up. 2 days after I put a deposit down on it the General Sales Manager tried rescinding my deal, saying he made a mistake and was losing money on the deal. I signed the deal at the same time they posted the Edge on their website. They left it up there for 2 more days before taking it down. My guess is they got a better offer than mine.

Years ago I owned a Mazda Miata and every winter I swapped summer tires for Blizzak snow tires. I kid you not the only thing that stopped it was if the snow was too high to ride over. I would even say a FWD Edge fitted with snow tires would equal an Edge AWD on snow and outperform the AWD on ice. From my experience no all season tire can come close to a snow tire on ice.

Middletown, Monmouth County. A few miles from Sandy Hook. Thanks for not asking me what exit I am. NJ has way too many stereotypes.

Not too shabby. Felt sure footed. My area changed over to mostly rain so there wasn't a ton of ice or snow out. Another system will be pushing through on Monday so I'll get another chance.

I picked up a CPO 2014 Edge AWD last week. We've got a snowy, wintry mix here in NJ. I wanted the AWD version for this specific reason. Now I'll get to see what this AWD system can do. I'm also curious to see how the 20" Pirelli Scorpions perform. I'm not going to get out there and drive recklessly but I will treat it like an AWD should be treated in foul weather. I've never been a fan of traction control systems because it impairs the feedback I feel from the road and I hate it when it wants to bog down because of some wheel spin. My old Escape's traction control was especially frustrating. The Intelligent AWD display screen could be interesting to see. The last topic I posted was about average MPG. Today I'll be throwing MPG out the window.

There's no bigger "brick" than that Ram 1500 I was renting. But on the highway the Ram was cruising at 80 without breaking a sweat. That Hemi V8 and 8 speed auto was turning out about 1800 RPM at 80MPH. The engine was barely running. If the Edge has an adaptive transmission it could take some time to adjust itself. Like I said earlier, it is my company car so I can't complain. I guess it'll just cost them a little more in fuel. They almost got me an Escape. Better to drive a fuel sucking Edge than a fuel friendly Escape.

Wow Mike. Those numbers are amazing. A 9MPH difference equates to a loss of 6MPG. And I'm glad you brought up the 20's because that's what I have. I've read that an Edge equipped with 20's have a different gear ratio. That would also have a role. I doubt the window sticker's EPA Estimates would factor that. It's probably based on the standard, not optional configuration.

I reset the MPG when I drove it off the lot. I averaged 15MPG. Yesterday I knew I was going to drive a good 150 highway miles to I reset the MPG to see what I'd average of that stretch of highway driving. Over that 180 mile stretch I averaged 20MPG. I like your idea with the trip meters. I'm going to do the same.

I'll begin from the oldest comment. I didn't check my tire pressure but I'd assume it's good since it's a CPO, I had it a few days and didn't hit any curbs or potholes. It doesn't hurt to double check so I'll do that. Speed: Before the Edge I normally cruised at 80mph but in the Edge I'm around 72. I'm not taking it easy on it. My foot is comfortable at that speed with my seat and steering wheel position. The Edge is my company car too. But I'm in sales so it's not loaded with heavy work gear. The Dodge had 50 miles on it and I returned it with just over 1100 miles. After 2 weeks with it I miss that V8 rumble. I've used remote start but I don't let it run forever. In fact I reset the run time from 15min to 5min. You're right, it should have a 19.2 gallon tank. When I filled up yesterday my MTE read 32miles but it took about 15.5 gallons to fill up and give me the 260 mile range reading. We can't pump our own gas here in NJ. Maybe the attendant cut me short.. The story behind this vehicle is that it was purchased in Feb 2014 by an elderly man for his wife. Scratches is the fake aluminum trim next to the passenger seat suggest a woman was probably throwing her purse in the seat next to her when driving. They brought the vehicle in for an oil change after 6 months with 2000 miles on it. The carfax reported the oil change from a service center near their home. A few weeks ago the husband passed away. The wife decided to return the Edge and keep his vehicle because it had sentimental value. I picked it up Friday with 3700 miles on it. My guess is this vehicle never saw a highway. I plan to add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner and fill up with a tank of super just to help flush anything that may have developed in the fuel system.

I picked up a CPO 2014 Edge SEL AWD last week. ODO had 3700 miles. I've only driven about 400 miles. But I'm stunned that I'm only averaging 15mpg in mixed driving. I did about 180 miles of highway driving today and averaged just under 20mpg highway. Now I realize my sample isn't small, it's tiny. I'd like to see what I'm averaging after 3,000 miles. I also realize the 18/25/21 are EPA estimates and driving conditions vary. But my combined avg is off by almost 30%. My highway average is almost 25% off. In the 2 weeks prior to the Edge I was renting a 2015 Dodge Ram Big Horn with a 5.7L Hemi V8. I drove a little over 1000 miles in 2 weeks and averaged around 16.5mpg combined. Is the 3.5L in the Edge that much of a gas guzzler? Also, what does your miles to empty indicator read after you've filled up? Mine says about 260 miles. I thought that was odd too. Your thoughts and opinions would be appreciated. Thanks,

Picked it up yesterday a 2014 Edge SEL AWD. Kodiak Brown. Loaded, Nav, Panoramic Sunroof, BLIS, Remote Start, Leather, 20" Chrome wheels...you name it. 3700 miles. $25,000. I worked the dealer pretty good. Love this ride!.
