Just got our's last night. Leftover 2015. Amazed at the feel (we're German vehicle people) and the equipment that comes on it.
Very satisfied and surprised with the build quality. The thing we like the most is how quiet it is!
Smoking hot deal! Lots of incentive $ for left over 15s.
Thanks to everyone for answering my newbie questions.
This car (no I won't call it a truck... I have an Excursion with a 7.3L... That's a truck ) is awesome!
Took a pic of it next to an Outback for a friend for comparison. We were both considering both vehicles.
Drive car, car leaks, free loaner, car fixed, car leaks again, car not fixed, free car.
When you think about it, you get free use of a car for said amount of time and then get a new one.
Make lemonade...
The seats may be the only reason we don't get the Edge. Just not very comfortable. Seat bottom too short. Side bolsters on the bottom aren't meant to be sat on! That's what makes them uncomfortable and give back problems.
Long time VW owners. Possibly the most supportive seats in the business.
2017 Tiguan is gonna be a game changer.
Is it different than the SE cloth? Can't find pictures. Don't really care for the SE cloth but it's not horrible I guess. Trying to keep the cost down on new car but all the SE trim I see has leather and that adds options that increases the cost a bunch.
Extended test drive. 2016 Edge SE 2.0L. About as base level as you can get:
Engine: Very quiet and smooth. Pulls well to very well.
Transmission: shifted fine. No problems there. Hate paddle shifters. Put the thing on the shift lever where it belongs and no buttons... Actual lever movements, please.
Ride is pleasant and firm, almost bordering on harsh but never seems to get there.
Interior: Very very quiet. Well appointed for a 'base' model. Lower seat cushion should be longer and lower seat side bolsters should go to the side, not where you'd sit ON them.
Rear seat room is quite amazing and comfortable. Reclining seats back is a God-send!
Controls: Easy to use. Somewhat cheap feeling. Steering wheel kinda sucks but nothing too horrible.
Cargo room is quite spacious.
Under the hood: what idiot put the battery back there?! Everything else is easy to get to. Air filter supremely easy to get out. Alternator looks like a minor pain to get at.
That was just observations over a long lunch
Yup and just found out it's not quite accurate. Found one that was about perfect and it was a 2015. Yeah I guess there still can be some around but local dealer said it wasn't. I'm gonna let them find me one.
Thanks.
