  1. i like the new look I didn't care much for the Gen1 it rides pretty close to My Audi so much quieter then then last three SUVs I have had 2009 Honda CRV AWD (didn't even make a payment when I was hit at a red light), 2009 Tiguan 4motion, 2012 Rav4 V6 AWD. I will tint it most likely in a few months summer here is brutal, I have a tint guy will do Nano all the ware around and clear on the windshield very little heat enters the car. Yea everyone gets the projector lights and its an option for the titanium and standard on the sport I had Nav on my Audi and in 4 years used it once. So i opted out. it does have Sync, rear inflatable seatbelt, roof rack and the standard I rarely listen to the radio or a CD, I stream everything so it has the media center with Aux and USB but also BT to auto connect - which is what I wanted, would be nice to have a SD card slot but thats optional, I can use a 128GB USB with its fine.
  2. Seriously. The rear red LED tail light isn't ascetics you can see LEDS for much further then regular light. Having a larger tail light gives motorists more visibility, Hence safety while I will agree the front lights are ascetic at nest but stating a larger tail light has no effect on safety is simply wrong. https://chemlinks.beloit.edu/BlueLight/pages/hp/an1155-3.pdf Ascetics are ground effects front LED, lighting interior LED, lighting, black grill, can be options. even inflatable seat belts (which i do have) buts its been proven more rear light decreases accidents The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) repeated Voevodsky's experiment on a larger scale, and concluded that center high mounted stop lamps, as the government calls them, reduce accidents and injuries. As a result, in 1986, NHTSA began requiring all new cars to have a third brake light. The agency extended that requirement to all new light trucks in 1994. To see just how well the third brake lights worked, NHTSA charted police-reported crash data from eight states, and found that these lights reduced rear impacts by 4.3 percent. Although less dramatic than the original findings, this means that since the lights became standard equipment, there have been about 200,000 fewer crashes, 60,000 fewer injuries, and more than $600 million in property damage saved every year — not to mention lives saved. More recently, researchers are turning their attention to the question of whether new light-emitting diode (LED) brake lights may be more effective than older incandescent bulbs at preventing rear-end collisions. Preliminary data suggest that LED lights may reduce crashes. ​With this being said for the third breakelight addition wouldn't it further reduce the risk adding more light to the back?
  3. That's dumb. Anything that has to do with safety should be a given. Trim should be larger engine, sun roof, nav, if I had known this car didn't have the rear tail light I wouldn't have got it. Hell even the more expensive SEL doesn't come with it. The things I mentioned have nothing to do with trim and everything to do with safety. Also the Ford Edge isn't my dream car I owned my dream car Audi RS4 and it comes with everything. But not nearly practical with two kids. The Edge for me is a compromise, a damn good compromise. It's not about having the most expensive for me anymore.
  4. Thanks, Yea its really Fantastic, much better them my 2012 Rav V6 AWD, Which I traded my Audi S4 for. Kids you know they make everything better. I wasn't sure I wanted to go back to a i4, but Was super surprised at the 2.0 Eco that thing gets up and goes. Drove it to California from LV on the second day and it was so smooth I fell in love its quiet like really quite and no problems in traffic and up and down hills. The drive is of a different quality then I am used to from Ford. Some things that should just be standard that Ford really dropped the ball on: LED rear Light bar--just the rear standard the front signature lights should be an option for sure. Hands-free liftgate Reverse Sensing System Heated power mirrors with security approach lamps and LED signal indicators Intelligent Access with Push Button Start - I have Half of this Option which is frustrating High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Headlamps with auto high beams
  5. I found the 2015 SE & SEL do not have the Rear Tail LED bar, but i do not know if they are wired that would be interesting to know. Mine does not have the Intelligent access for the front doors but the rear gate works, I had ford take the handles off and its wired for it they just don't know if it can be programed to allow for it. would be nice, if just one person at Ford knew. I to would like the rear LED it look awesome with it, seems like a slap in the face to not just have that on every model. here is a 31K base model that shows traction control and each tire pressure real time but no real Red LED bar for you, whats it like 5 bucks to add. hell i would have paid 500 if they would have told be it didn't light up.
  6. Yea any updates Super interested in this and getting my rear red LED bar lit up also like the Titanium and Sport.
  7. I drove one in 2012 and didn't like it. Last Friday I drove a 2016 at the motor trend car show. We ended up going to the dealer and test driving a 2015 SE. I decided to just buy it. I really like it much more refined in the Gen 2. SE 2.0 EcoBoost Magnetic AWD Only added the roof rails, cargo accessory package, also the rear inflatable Seat Belts.
