  1. I got it from Tower Decals, on eBay; the kit was 29.99: http://www.ebay.com/itm/181808293927 They are carbon fiber background with glossy black lettering. Will do! Looks a lot like Nick's but the badges are more matte.
  2. Went with a blacked out look for my new 2016 Sport, thought you all might like it.
  3. I haven't seen any specific dates, just wondering if anyone happens to know of the timetable. Thanks!
  4. Up to just under my shoulder blades, where the leather facing starts.
  5. Here's a direct link to the image: http://i.imgur.com/nEFsy24.jpg
  6. Doubtful - I've noticed the same thing in other vehicles over the years - Bluetooth sounding OK and USB sounding great, in particular. Sirius I'm not so sure about. For the OP, here's that shot I promised of my settings. Also, I'm in Surround mode and balance/fade are set to default:
  7. I've been in my 2016 Sport for about a week now and was disappointed with the sound at first but am very happy now after adjustments! Later tonight I'll take a picture of my settings and post, but the big thing I've noticed is that Sirius sort of sucks period, Bluetooth is better, and USB audio is great especially when streaming from a good source (like FLAC audio).
  8. The seatback cooling on my '16 Edge Sport has been great so far.
  9. It's "Smart AWD", meaning that it's not on all the time.
  10. After looking at the actual vehicle options page, you're totally right. Even more worth the upgrade, in this case!
  11. In my experience, totally worth it. I was shopping for an Edge Sport and was going to get a 2015 until I actually used Sync 3 - I waited on the 2016 in large part due to Sync 3 and couldn't be happier. The Sync 3 system is far more responsive; it has a capacitive touch screen instead of a resistive touch screen, meaning that it can take multiple "inputs" at the same time. This allows for things like pinch-to-zoom on the map in addition to the added sensitivity and responsiveness. Additionally, the Sync 3 system is going to last you longer - perhaps more important if you're purchasing than if you're leasing. Carplay/Android Auto are coming to Sync 3 later this year, which is nice.
  12. Hi all, I just wanted to give props to Vista Ford in Oxnard. Chris Belle was a great salesman, helped me out a ton and gave me a great deal, and everyone else I spoke to was courteous and very efficient in their work. I purchased a 2016 Ford Edge Sport through them - it was a dealer swap, and they kept me in-the-loop at all times during the process.
  13. Just wanted to update everyone - thanks for the advice! Yesterday I picked up my 2016 Ford Edge Sport. I did end up getting the BAMR, because it was the only one in the area and I got a great deal on it - I've enjoyed using the feature so far!
  14. This is great, thanks all for the opinions and thoughts - at this point I'm pretty sure I'll go with the Sport. @goatee: the ability to get the 401a package without having to get the BAMR is big for me, too. I really don't want that thing.
  15. Hi everyone, First post here, but I've done a lot of browsing over the last weeks! I'm going to be graduating into the Ford Edge family soon. I was going to get a 2015, but after actually using the Sync 3 recently I've decided that it's worth jumping into a 2016 instead. However, I'm very much wavering between the Titanium FWD and the Sport. Advantages in the Titanium, as I see them: 2.0L v4 turbo engine drives very similarly to the v6 that is available outside of the Sport, and beats the Sport by a ~4mpg on average, especially since they've done away with FWD on the 2016 sport. Cost savings of several thousand dollars Very comfortable ride Advantages in the Sport: More fun ride Better in inclement weather I like the trim/look better My use case: 99% city driving, lots of freeways (los angeles area)Is there anything that I'm not thinking of, here? Any recommendations from you Edge vets? Thanks!!!
