Hello everyone,
I came across your forum while researching potential common problems with the Edge prior to buying. I ultimately made the decision to buy because I feel I got a solid deal, relatively low miles and a very clean vehicle. So far I am very happy with the vehicle, after about 2 weeks. I was in a 2 year lease of a Buick LaCrosse so the extra space and cargo room as well as the towing package are welcome additions. I think it has most options with the exception of the sunroof and Nav.
A few things I think I miss from the Buick are only 2 settings for the heated seats, lukewarm and extra crispy in the Ford! (The Buick had 3 which seemed more manageable) and not showing which tire is actually low on air when the tire pressure monitor comes on, sometimes they aren't really noticeable.
I did the update on the My Ford Touch right away and so far I'm not seeing any real problems with using it once you put a little time into learning. I would have liked the nav option but it didn't seem to be getting that great of reviews here anyway. I haven't had much time to learn the voice commands yet other than following the on screen prompts but that is my next project.
The one question I do have, do any of you pay the $60 a year for the sync services and if so do you think it's still worth it? I generally don't need directions to things although traffic would sometimes be nice.
Thank you and I'm looking forward to following all of your posts.
