  1. I don't doubt loaded Sports without vista roofs exist, it's just more the exception than the norm. There weren't any 2015s left in my area that didn't have it, so I settled for it.
  2. Sorry to hear about that. Man, didn't realize a new grille is that expensive. Note to self: don't break.
  3. Maybe a blown fuse? I'd check there first.
  4. I'll have to look into it, I think you mentioned it, but it really feels sort of spongy at low speeds. Sometimes I under or overestimate the amount of force needed, leading to a jarring braking experience. Definitely not a deal breaker, but it is something I didn't have issues with in my fusion or TL.
  5. Definitely post pics once you get them installed. Interested as to how the stainless lines feel...I've observed the pedal feel isn't as nice as I'm used to.
  6. Yeah, again just based on what I'm paying for my lease, you'll be able to get where you're hoping to.
  7. What's the MSRP of that vehicle? There's aren't any incentives on the 16s at the moment, just so you're aware. But I'm guessing you'd be able to do $420 or less easily if you did $4k down and the vehicle isn't too much more than $40k.
  8. These bulbs still light up Amber but don't have the orange filament look/'egg yolk' appearance in the housing when they're not illuminated.
  9. I had the 2.0 EB in my Fusion and loved it, but I was so used to it that I wanted to step up to something with some punch. I also loved the no-chrome look of the Sport. The Titanium is a really nice looking vehicle though and I really admire the different interior color options.
  10. If any of you are like me, rattles can drive you absolutely mad and can take away from the experience of an otherwise great vehicle. I dealt with many rattles in my Fusion, one requiring countless trips in for service before a dealer was able to get it resolved. I was bummed to pick my Edge Sport up last week with 2 factory installed rattles with 20 miles on the odometer. One was coming from the drives back door trim panel, the other from the cargo area. Below are the notes the service tech wrote up regarding the two rattles in my Edge, both are now resolved thankfully. "Customer states driver side rear door trim seems to be squeaking. Sound is similar to rubber on rubber noise. Road tested and verified customers noise concern. Removed left rear door trim panel and applied flock tape to the upper area near the inner belt seal. Reinstalled door trim. Road tested after repair and noise is gone." "Customer states there is a noise coming from rear cargo area or possible the vista roof when going over bumps. Sounds like plastic is looks and rattling. Road tested and verified customers noise concern. Installed cashes ears and road test. Found noise coming from the rear hatch around the weather seal area. Adjusted bump stops and applied silicone lube to rubber stoppers. Road tested and noise is gone." Let's use this thread to document, troubleshoot, and post solutions to our rattles.
  11. Not sure what % the tint is because I had the dealer install it before delivery, just told them to match the rears. It has to get redone because both sides have scratches from installation and there is debris under the tint. Sigh... Thanks for the info. I went to the dealer today regarding the rattles: "Customer states driver side rear door trim seems to be squeaking. Sound is similar to rubber on rubber noise. Road tested and verified customers noise concern. Removed left rear door trim panel and applied flock tape to the upper area near the inner belt seal. Reinstalled door trim. Road tested after repair and noise is gone." "Customer states there is a noise coming from rear cargo area or possible the vista roof when going over bumps. Sounds like plastic is looks and rattling. Road tested and verified customers noise concern. Installed cashes ears and road test. Found noise coming from the rear hatch around the weather seal area. Adjusted bump stops and applied silicone lube to rubber stoppers. Road tested and noise is gone." Will advise when I have them redo it. Not sure. I found it to be incredibly easy. Took no more than 5 minutes. Just have to pop the rubber dust guards off the rear of the headlights and then the bulbs twist out. Thank you! I too have had an interested in the Edge Sport since I saw it at the 2015 North American International Auto Show last year. They had a White Platinum one with the 21s there that I absolutely adored. Actually terminated my Fusion's lease early to get one since the deals on the 2015s were so great with X-Plan. I had Weathertech's in my Fusion and loved them. Will probably make due with the factory all seasons for the rest of this winter then will pick some up this fall. The rattles seems to be mostly gone now after my trip to the dealer. See above. Doh. It took me a minute to figure out that the bulbs just twist right out of those connections. I initially tried twisting the connector.
  12. Not really a sun person, plus the sunroof in my Fusion rattled and leaked.
  13. Yeah. Seems like 401A automatically means sunroof as well.
  14. Me too. Thank you! I did notice this behavior the other day and was able to determine the cause. The other rattles persist though. Definitely not a seat belt, unfortunately.
  15. Even with the Sport, you'd probably have to custom order it if you wanted it to be pretty loaded out. I did not want a Vista Roof at all, but most dealers order loaded out Sports with them, unfortunately. So I settled on the $1600 piece of glass over my head.
  16. Nice. I used to have a 2005 Acura TL. I still frequent the forums, username cjTL. I went with some bulbs from eBay. They're pretty high quality, you can see pics over in my intro thread I just posted in this section of the forum. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131703151931?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  17. Hey everyone, thought I'd introduce myself. Just picked up a 2015 Edge Sport with every single option (wasn't really my intent but the deal on the 2015 was too good to resist). Loving it so far, the power is incredible. Only gripe is that there are already two awful rattles (car has less than 400 miles on it..), so it's going to the dealer Wednesday for those. Hopefully it's a one and done fix. Coming from a 2014 Fusion Titanium. Already installed front tint, LED plate lights and DRLs. DRLs are from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131703151931?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  18. Glad this section is back. Just picked up my Edge Sport a few days ago and was holding off on my intro until this area was back in business. I'd been browsing these forums for a few weeks before I pulled the trigger and found a wealth of info on here regarding features, options, mods, etc. Already have front tint, LED plate lights, and LED DRLs installed. Will post pics soon. Side note- 037...I recognize that username. Are you a former Acurazine member? I recall a red RL with SH-AWD, perhaps.
