My first Edge was a '13 sport I bought in January of '13. I was interested in them originally because the look caught my attention. When it came time to buy a new vehicle, it came down to styling, features, and price. Other than Kia, to get what the Edge provided at the time you were looking at $50k+ or very near it. I've had Mercedes, BMW, and a Range Rover Sport, and got tired of the problems and expensive routine maintenance. At the end of the day I felt the Edge was the best value and I liked it so well I didn't have a second thought when I sold the '13 and bought a '16 which I am liking even better.
