  1. Hi everyone... Here's some pics of my new winter tires and mags wheels. Tire are TOYO observed and wheels are form BadBoy in 18 inches. Thanks, so far Best car I ever owned.... See U
  2. Hi everybody, I went to NYC from Montreal last friday....I'm really happy with MPG....made round trip (about 597miles or 961km) with two fuel up. First 13.2 gallons, the second 13.3....if I made the righ calculation it's 22.5miles per gallon (about 10.45l/100km). Four adults with lugage in car...average speed 75miles/hour . Incredible confort and handling....can't say anything wrong with my EDGE 2011 FWD. Just few bugs with the MyFord Touch.....GPS very slow and map outdated, Sirius does't work from Canada to USA (why??) and no way for Canadian to make SYNC work in USA....Ok I understand for Canada market but when I travel to south of the border why on earth can I use the same service I paid for......enyway...... Nice trip PAT
  3. Hey, I'm really happy to see I'm not the only one with that issue.....I passed 1 hour trying to find how to browse on the web. So what do we do now.... PAT
  4. Hi again, First hope you will forgive, like I stated before my English mistakes....The 2011 is by far one of the best car I ever owned. I was looking between the Mercedes GLK350 and the Acura MDX when I took a trip with a friend who owns a 2010 MKX...love the car so much I start last year to look for my first American car in decades ( my last US made car was a 1995 Jeep Cherokee). Since I'm also Canadian, I was pleased to know the EDGE as the MKX is made here in Oakville. So I ordered on May 14th my Edge Limited FWD. I took delivery Thuesday, so far the vehicle is simply Awsome. Improvement for quality material and ergonomics over 2010. Few things I was really impressed by the quality of the custumer service at Oakville from Johanne who was always kind and professional every time I called to know when I would expect my truck. The other thing I was impress when I took the Edge is the paint. Wow realy impressive. Sound and handling is also 10/10. Nothing to say and I drove BMW and Mercedes before. Just a little wind noise from the window on highways, beside that the new Edge is a temple and a shrine for quietness. Ok, As for the Sync issue. First I can't find the web browser in the system. I was told we could surf on the internet with the 8inch screen. I can't hook the wi-fi on my network. I see my router but can't connect with the sync....I also own a Iphone 4 and can't also connect or tethering with it. Also, Sync is slow...ok we are now use to Smart phones and ipads, but sometimes the screen go crazy and when you want to go back to a previous menu it go back to the main menu.....I also have a minor issue with the Nav system, maps are really outdated. My house was built in 2005 and still no street on the sd card. I found a thing strange to, my sync is set in French, but when the lady voice announce a coming street with the nav system the mesure are in imperial (like in 1/4 of a mile turn left) but all my settings are in metric....weird....found no place to fix that. And finally, I have over 500 songs in my Iphone, when I play some mp3 not all the pics of the albums show on screen...some do some don't....even if all my song have album covers in my phone. One last thing, I'm afraid the power lift gate won't last long...when I open it, it wiggle and make strange noise...will report that to my next service.... But don't be afraid to buy this all the sync problems will be fix with the next update.....I'm sure.... So hope I didn't destroy Shakespeare heritage..... Thanks, keep hope for those waiting to take delivery, worth the wait.
  5. Hi everyone..... Here's some pic's....freshly washed....This is by far one of the best car I ever got.....some small issue with the Sync but for the rest Awsome job people from Oakville...
  6. After 1 year of waiting, I finaly took delivery today at 7pm of my new 2011 EDGE Limited FWD. For those who want to know. I ordered on may 14th, the dealer reordered on july 19th. They serialized my Edge on 8-16, truck was built 8-30 and took delivery today. Will post pictures tomorow. One think I like very much so far is the cruise control, i don't have the radar option, but when you set the cruise the speed show just under the tank level and you can increase an lower easily. Very please so far...realy good car.... Thanks PAT
  7. Yes it is....check this video..... PAT
  8. Hi everyone.... Found this on youtube....very nice vide of many 2011 Edge.... Enjoy PAT
  9. Yeah, maybe.... I'm from the Montréal area, about 6 hours or so from Oakville, On. So maybe it's a sensible explanation......Will see PAT
  10. Hi thomasford405, You are maybe right.....Let me explain something. My salesman ordered my Edge Limited on May 14th, but on July 18th he reordered the same vehicule in case the first one would be stuck for quality control at the factory (like the mustang). So is it the one ordered on may 14th I'm getting on sept 6 or the one ordered on July 18th ??? I don't know, but I clearly asked twice with different person at CRC in two different languages, they both confirmed dilivery date sept 6. Thanks, will keep hope for first week of september..... (Sorry for the english mistakes)..... PAT
  11. Hi everyone, I got tears in my eyes, pinch my self twice. The lady at CRC told me that my delivery date is sept 6....I asked twice to make shure, even called the service in french....yes build date 30th of august and delivery 6 of september......Does anyone have a delivery date... Thanks...Hope this is true... PAT
  12. Thanks JGilles, Finaly talk to sales director at my dealer, got my production date on 30th of august. The delivery date is still TBD so will cross finger for mid september....
  13. Hi us002840, Wow, realy depressing. First american car in 13 years, not looking good so far. Enyway at least you have a build date. I only have my VIN and depressing tough........ PAT
  14. Hi JGilles, Just one question ...where are u from, just call Ford Canada service line with my VIN number and no build date as been assigned yet. I ordered my 2011 LTD EDGE on may 14th and still no build date assigned ??? think I will visit my dealer.... Thanks PAT
