That goes for me tooo.. I tried Ford Edge org - but it fell out of favor fast... This one and blueovals for me... frankly I don't there could be others that are better.

My avr speed is about 40km/hr (36mph) - avr at 12.5 or 18.8 MPGs... I hit too much rush hour traffic on the highways - keeps me from getting some time at higher speeds I can't complain - its a heavy vehicle with tremendous power - I love how it feels on the highway - light as a feather - easy to handle - and you feel very safe. I still say - the critics are nuts - the new owners generally love it - nice to see all the new owners arrive.

Agreed - sounds like mine exactly.. I should start a club... Welcome aboard - I love mine

With the windshield as wide as it is, plus a VISTA roof - I can expect to find the interiors heat fairly quick esp with charcoal leather. So far - my limited use of the AC has been fine.. but I don't like it very cold.... I will keep an eye on as the weather in the Great White North gets warmer YES - it can get into high 90s with high humidity... yuck

Ahhh.. the joys of modern conveniences.... Funny - we all want our "toys" - but when we have to pay out for them... OUCH....

oops.. thats right it is metric.. Converted 11.9 = almost 20mpgs - 12.6 = 19 mpgs.. I try to get more highway driving in during this "new" stage - to help improve.. Its not that far off my 2001 toyota - it was a 3.0 200hp.

Well.. I guess that ends " honey - let me drive it this time"..... Awesome - what a statement - they liked their first Edge so much - they got another!!!! Neighbours must be green with envy - enjoy - it is an awesome ride....

The other item I noticed while watching the fuel ticker - Edge saves fuel when driving 100km or less and about 1500 rpms - thats when my ticker starts dropping. It got to as low 11.9 on the highway - the creeps back up on the weekends when I drive city more.

Those headrests were changed specifically to get the 5 star crash rating. As my brother and his friends work the line - they gave me the info - the original head rest was different but fell short for crash testing. As I am short - they work perfectly for me.

I can keep my Edge under 2000 rpms - I reset my computer on my last tank, and kept my accelerations in check. Average speed is about 40kms - I drive a mix of city/highway about 50/50. I am at about 360 miles per tank - I find the city driving hardest to control - the stops and starts do drive up the fuel ticker - I left my avg fuel consumption on the computer while I drove - you can see how it floats up and down and how it fits into your driving habits - its neat to watch. Of course my edge just crossed the 1000 mile mark -and mileage is improving - I can't complain

Enjoy - its well worth the wait.

"I am hot for an EDGE" Wooohooo... could you imagine if he was "hot" in an Edge - lots of room in the cargo area... auto fold down seats.. open the BAMR... F%^^#$* - getting hot just thinking about it... :yup:

Im only 5'1 - headrests not even an issue for me.. Thanks for the comparison.. I gave up my toyota coupe which I loved - but the Edge surpasses all my expectations. I love the power, the smoothness, the amazing quietness - it is a fantastic looking vehicle. And I love all my new "toys" - which are a helluv of a lot more than my 2001 coupe had. Keep on driving... I think your appreciation for the Edge will grow.

If you have read through the postings, then you have a pretty good idea about any "issues". Personally I have no issues with my Edge - drives great - love the AWD. People notice 2 things first: 1. My awesome sunroof - it blows them away. 2. The ride - its quiet, comfy, and powerful. Vist blueovalforums.com for any further insights - there is a Edge forum there. Once you order, you can post your VIN and track your Edge's progress. Good Luck

It was your Edge enthusiam.... no worries.. I have gotten caught up in it too. I am impressed with number of new owners joining - thats sooo cool.

I think is Cdn - 8kms on the odometer.. not 8000.....

I hope those lurking here for Edge info - pick up on the fact that the Japanese are not faultless with their vehicles. I think your notes just makes the point - Ford can make and did make a very competitive vehicle with the Edge. In spite of all those "toys" that people like to have (and complain they dont have with the Edge - bluetooth, reverse camera, powerlift gate) - this is a GREAT RIDE. So... if you are not spoiled for your techie toys - Edge is more than enough vehicle for the general population.

I was serialized within 2 days - I think it depends on what build cycle you are getting. My dealer said..get me order by tomorrow am and I will get it into the next build cycle - and it still took 6 weeks. The dealers do get weekly updates and know which cycle. Serializing is complete when they can identify all your car components... so it could be a quick production once all is lined up Call back weekly... to keep them on their toes... and once you get a VIN - see blueovalforums.com for tracking. good luck

I have called the Creme Brulee - the "chick" colour....

Yippeee a conquest... You should tell us more about why you are giving up a fairly recent Murano for the Edge. What made you do it? I would have considered the Murano if there was no Ford Edge. Did you test drive an Edge? Thanks in advance

For vista roof - weak solution of vinegar and water to remove the hard water drops... Awesome colour aint it?

You have extremely great taste in vehicles... Mine is exactly the same - colours and all - I love it.. welcome aboard

Edge Driving is addictive - love the handling on AWD - corners on a dime - It's an impressive looking vehicle - I think given the many I see on the road this spring... its an obvious hit. Anyone reading this forum and reading critical reviews - go test drive it... see for yourself - its so much better than the critics acknowledge.

I know he got his... we have traded messages.... but since then... "poof"
