  1. Have a 2019 SEL. The wife drives the car 95% of the time. When I do drive the car, I dislike the lumber part of the seat. Needs to be higher up for me. Dislike the leather. First time for us, have always had cloth. Also dislike the automatic climate control, can't shift the tranny down on steep grades, has to use the brakes more The wife likes everything about the car other then the leather seats, the automatic climate control, can't shift the tranny down on steep grades, has to use the brakes more. So yes there are somethings we both dislike. Otherwise we like the car. It can handle the two lane curvy roads as fast as we feel comfortable in going. Unfortunately we can't go as fast as we would like since there is always someone going slower. The car is averaging 30.1 mpg. Lower then the car we traded in, but then the Ford is about twice the size of the car we traded in. The Ford can carry a LOT of stuff with the rear seats down, like all the little storage areas. The stop/start feature. I don't care for it, so when I'm driving I shut it off. The wife likes it, leaves it on. At stops with the window down, sometimes can hear the car start up other times not. Get some weird looks from other drivers who have their window down when the car starts up again. ? Doubt we will keep it ten years like we did our last car, time will tell.
  2. I think you got a factory freak. We are now getting 30.1 mpg after 4,000 miles highway and city on our 2019 Edge SEL. My wife drives 95% of the time and she has, the need. For speed. We also just run 87 octane.
  3. 2019 Ford Edge SEL FWD. A little over 4,200 miles, averaging 30.1 mpg. City and highway. Using 87 octane. (Bought the car in May)
  4. Okay, now you have to tell us about the glove box. ?
  5. Looks like this problem isn't on just 2019 models. I go to another Edge forum and this is what a gal says about her 2017 Titanium AWD 2.0 Has 45,000 miles on it. "An update - engine light came on again and the “ bucking”more severe. Took the car to dealer as I felt there was something more going on. Codes at the dealer were again 302, 304, and now 312 (intermittent misfiring) appeared. They were going to replace coils and plugs again but discovered coolant was low. Further testing overnight found a leak by a valve. They will pull the head to see if it’s just the gasket or if there is a crack. Unfortunately, it will be a couple of weeks depending on the scope of repair. My car is the third vehicle with the same engine and problem in recent weeks that my small town dealer has worked on." If she posts anything more on her car, I will be sure to put it on here.
  6. Have a 2019. I think it is the fuel pump. Owned a Harley-Davidson that when I turned the key on, it made that same noise. Had to wait until a light on the dash shut off before starting it.

    Mustang SUV

    Would love a electric SUV that gets 300 plus miles, but not if it looks like that.
  8. Didn't order the Edge. Have ordered other cars in the past. Other brands to get what I wanted. Might want to think about waiting and ordering a 2020.
  9. Welcome. My wife doesn't have any buyers remorse. She is like a kid on Christmas morning with all the cool stuff this car can do and what she can do with it using her cell phone. Myself. If we had the room at our home to have kept our ten year four month old car, I would have done so.
  10. Welcome to the forum. I'm new here also.
  11. Traded in our 10 year 4 month old car for a 2019 Ruby Red Edge. There was a 2018 with a beautiful blue at the dealership, but it had a sun/moon roof and that cut back on my head room. This is our first Edge but not the first Ford. Wife had a 1990 Escort GT back when I met her. So I inherited it when we got hitched. Looking forward to taking the Edge on some curves, see how it does.

    Seat comfort

    Yes, the 2019. It's the part of the seat where your back goes. Upper back area is a little hard. Just wondering if it loosens up in time.

    Seat comfort

    I am considering the purchase of a SEL without additional option. The back of the seat feels a little stiff. Does it loosen up in time?
  14. Might not be the correct place to put this. Looked at the 2019 Ford Escape and 2019 Ford Edge. Was going to look at the 2-19 Ford Explorer also, but we liked the Edge. I noticed when driving and when a passenger could hear some wind noise through the side windows. Yes they were closed all the way. Anyone have that problem? We test drove the SE, liked it, but it didn't have any exterior colors we liked. Looked at the SEL. Can get the color we want. One thing I came across was wondering if one could downshift the car when going down a grade. Do that all the time with our 2009 Toyota Matrix. Can manually downshift a gear. (automatic) Use the engine to slow the car down over the brakes. Salesman couldn't answer the question. Anyone here know? Thanks.
  15. Fire truck red. Test drove a 2019 Ford Edge SE and loved it. But didn't have any exterior colors we liked. Black cloth interior. Looking at the SEL, but have some questions about it.
