I have to totally agree w/ you @MaX83_ZA I purchased my Edge back in May, thinking this will be a great summer & fall SUV. I really loved the style of the Edge. But I did not think this SUV would be as good as I seen this weekend. I have the Ford Edge SE AWD EcoBoost - & I know what you mean in regards to the Intelligent system feature, I turned mine on & seen the tricky stuff it was doing.
I drove mine around snow-packed roads that hadn't been treated & we got around 9+ inches & it went through it like it was nothing, so I am here to say as well, if anyone doing review that is looking for a stylish, mid-size SUV, w/ plenty of power, & can dig through snow like a boss. Then they should look at the Edge!
