Yes, the manual Edges are really quite rare, even here where manual cars predominate. Am I right in understanding the instrument cluster on our Edges is only available on the Lincoln version you have over there?

There weren't really any power options though. If you wanted automatic transmission the 210 HP engine was the only option. Likewise 180 HP was the only option for manual transmission.

Other than "sports" suspension, mainly cosmetic e.g. 20 inch alloy wheels as standard, black front grill, Sony sound system etc.

Also less of an issue with Fords. The area around an oval Ford badge is much easier to keep clean than around that Audi badge!

Yes, exactly the same twin-turbo 2.0 litre diesel AWD, 210HP for all European automatic transmission models regardless of the specification. The Zetec, Titanium, Sport/ST-Line and Vignale all have the same engine. The much rarer manual transmission was paired with a 180HP version of the 2.0 litre diesel. No 2WD versions were available, which I think isn't the case in America?

Are you sure it is not the "white noise" that is emitted by Ford's Active Noise Control system? https://www.ford.co.uk/shop/research/technology/comfort-and-convenience/active-noise-control https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/feu/en/news/2015/11/11/how-new-ford-technology-can-make-your-car-work-like---a-giant-pa.html#:~:text=Ford's Active Noise Control uses,levels of music and conversation.

Ford partially de-badged my car in the factory! The ST-Line here in UK has no badge, whereas the model it replaced had "Sport" prominently on the tailgate.

Anything that alters the car from stock and can't be put back very quickly and easily is likely to lower the resale/trade-in value a bit... well here in UK it would.

Ah, OK, thanks. Yes, it works fine with memory sticks. It's Sync3's incompatibility with iPods that's the issue, especially as Ford's earlier versions of Sync all worked fine.

Thanks. What iPods do you use? I have a 7th gen Classic 160gb, a 6th gen Classic 120gb, a 2nd gen Touch and a 3rd gen Nano. The Classics don't really work at all and the Nano no more than about 15 minutes without crashing. The Touch is OK..ish but even that fails regularly.

There's not a lot I don't love about my Edge - other than Sync 3. It is unresponsive (it takes an age every day to load up GPS/Sat Nav) and is useless with any of my iPods, despite Ford's claims of compatibility. It is constantly freezing up, is very unresponsive, skips tracks, fails to display artwork and is forever "indexing" tacks. The old Sync 1 I had in my Mondeo worked absolutely perfectly with all four of my iPods.

Hiya Chris, welcome to our forum. Have you got any pics of your Edge to share with us?

Hi there, welcome to our Forum. Please let us know how you get on with your modifications.

Greetings from the beautiful county of (old) Hampshire, England and welcome to the forum. Do you have any pics of your white Edge Sport you can share with us?

Hi, welcome to the forum. Be nice to see some pics of your Edge if you have any.

Thanks. I didn't realise that. I was under the impression US cars were always higher spec than ours! Does anyone have a link to a download of the US sales brochure for the 2015-19 Edge equivalent to this one from the UK? Ford Edge UK late 2017.pdf

Thanks. That's interesting. I assumed all Edges had the same cluster as this, in my 2018 ST-Line.

Interesting. What does the MKX instrument cluster look like...anyone got a pic?

Hi. Welcome to our forum. Do you have any photos of your Edge you'd like to share with us?

Welcome to our Edge forum.

Great pics. Nice to see the US spec of the the Ford Capri too. It's a car that was once very common over here in UK and Europe. Unfortunately I never took any photos of the beige one I had back in the 80s but other than the wheels it looked a lot like this one. .

Welcome to our Forum. Interesting pic ; is that your Edge?

I'm not aware of any stickers at all on the UK Edges.
