I bought a used Ford Edge 2013 SEL 2 months ago, I though I'd share my first impressions :
PROS
- Smooth driving, silent enough
- Good acceleration when needed (3.5l), but I dont like the way it shifts down the gears one by one.
- Seating is good, even for long distance, much less back pain than on my previous car
- Large enough to fit 3 car seats, without being too large (like a minivan) or too long (like 3 seating rows cars)
- Good looking
CONS
- Very few easily/quickly accessible stowage compartment for wallet/phone/change
- Heavy doors have to be slammed hard to avoid being ajar
- SYNC interface is counter intuitive (at least the non-touch one)
- Too many buttons and redundant functions around the screen. Who needs a full numpad ??
- Bad smell in the cabin when going high in RPMs. Having the air recycling on seems to eliminate the problem.
- USB stays on even when engine is off, bad for dash cam installation IMHO..
Love the Pros, and can live with the Cons, so I like the car overall, I'd buy it again if I had the choice, but I'd take the touch sync.
