Has anyone had their new Edge long enough to post some real MPG numbers after a fill up or two?

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 Just few bugs with the MyFord Touch.....GPS very slow and map outdated, Sirius does't work from Canada to USA (why??)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

I thought there was a web browser built into the MyFord Touch system? I connected up to my home WiFi but couldn't find a link anywhere on the screen to open a web browser. Has anyone else had better luck?

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

Congrats on your delivery! Your car looks absolutely fantastic, it really does.

I am also curious about your Sync issues, what are they and will they be getting fixed? Seems like many owners be it Edge or MKX are commenting on troubles with Sync and my touch which is a little concerning.

 

My question, is Ford being made aware of all the different issues people are having by either the owners or dealers? Is someone reporting them so they get fixed now and are not there on future builds?

 

I am just about ready to order, actually the exact same setup as Controleur2001 but these sudden issues make me hesitate as many people don't like buying a car on it's first year of retooling.

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.

Yeah Pat! congrats. Can't wait for pic's tomorrow. Enjoy.

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...

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

This is WAY COOL! Software updates while on assembly line

This was twittered today.

On-the-assembly-line WiFi updates, brought to you by @Ford http://www.scribd.com/doc/36452457

Yes it is....check this video.....

PAT

Hi everyone....

Found this on youtube....very nice vide of many 2011 Edge....

Enjoy

PAT

Does it help if you live near the factory?

I know that at least one plant is located in Ontario. (mine is/will be built there)

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

I hope you get your vehicle close to that date, however, my experience as a dealer is that we don't get the vehicle for up to 30 days after it is built. We have never received a vehicle within a week of its build date. I too have and Edge being built on the 30th of August, but am not expecting to see it before mid Sept at the earliest. Our Sales Rep with Ford that handles our orders has told me the same.

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

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

Pat,

I am from Ohio Between Cleveland and Akron. I may just not know any better but I thought that when they assigned your VIN # that ment that it was scheduled into production at that point. Regardless I would refer to what Akirby and Waldo have posted in the past about the fact that with a later build date you may end up receiving your vehicle prior to those who's were made in July due to any quality control issues that might come up before yours is built. Right now I am just keeping my fingers crossed that if any issues come up that need to be corrected that this happens prior to the end of August so that mine won’t have to be retro fitted and will hopefully ship faster. Good luck with your dealer hopefully they can shed some light on the status for you.

 

JGilles

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....

I will give you a better example of how long you may be waiting!

 

I ordered my 2011 MKX on March 29, 2010, with DORA being accepted and acknowleded by Ford on March 29 2010.

 

Initially, vechicle was scheduled for build on July 12, 2010, pushed back to August 16, 2010, and as of yesterday, now scheduled for week of August 30, 2010.

 

Ford, through my dealer and CRC, has NOT provided a reaosn for delays.

 

I did order ALL options, except for rear DVD player, but that should not make a difference.

 

They just say "SORRY", its in the hands of the factory.

 

Oh, I am located in Rcihmond Heigths, Ohio and the order was a Z-Plan purchase. This is my 9th Z-Plan purchase, all factory orders, and it has NEVER taken this long. I do have a VIN number.

 

Oh well, we shall see.

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

Frank,

I just called the CRC and they said that it was last updated yesterday and it now has a VIN assigned to it. My production date is scheduled for the week of August 30th. I would suggest checking with either your dealer or the CRC to see if yours has been updated yet. If they have it in there they won’t have an ETA on it yet but at least you might be able to get a date for when they are actually making it.

 

Does anyone know if there is a way to get the window sticker now that I have my VIN #?

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

Hi everyone,

I'm realy happy to see I'm not alone. Can't see this site either on my Iphone 4...even with the app install....

There is no "hard" info - not even Ford knows when they'll start shipping because it depends on how many problems are found in the early models. Best guess right now is they'll start showing up first week or two of September but that's not guaranteed.

SECOND week of september....It's official I'm pulling my last hair out.......Thanks Akirby, I realy need my truck by september 17, if not will have to walk or use a bicycle. Enyway been waiting since may 14th, can wait a another month (hope not)....

So anybody aware of the potential problems pushing back delivery date....?

Thanks many times again....

PAT

Hi everyone,

I'm going creazy....What's going on....my salesman spoke whith is Ford rep, nobody have a clue for delivery date...I hear maybe mid-september......Is thers someone that have real hard info somewhere.....

Hi ,

Totaly agree whith Akirby. Incentives can be freeze on order and at delivery, so you choose the best discount to you. Now, last friday I placed my order for a 2011 Edge LTD. Now I'm elegible for the first payment incentive, but like you said, it's likely to see best deal in July. And since production start only at the end of june, you won't take delivery before July. The longer you wait to order, more chance to wait as well for your vehicule.

See u

PAT

Hey Pat, may I ask what the pricing is compared to last years. Also, are the options/standard features much different to the US models?

 

Thanks, Wayne.

Hi Wayne,

I was going for the 2010 model, when my salesman point me that the GPS is now 700$ Can$ instead of 2300$. When my salesman went to see someone at the Financial departement he left the price sheet on the desk and I took look here's what I saw (took picture with my cell phone) SE FWD 27999$, SEL FWD 33999$, SEL AWD 35999$, LTD FWD 37799$, LTD AWD 39799$, SPORT AWD 43499$, add 1400$ to all the prices for shipping. The main difference is 2010 model in Canada came with the power lift gate as standard on LTD, now you are require to buy the drivers entry package that come with remote start, alarm, push start button and lift gate at 1000$ all other option are almost same price. New package call Tourism (I have no clue if it will be the same in english but here in Québec its tourisme package) Vista Roof and GPS for 1850$. Adaptive Cruise control is 1500$, HID headlight is 600$ (I could't resist for this one). So all this in canadian dollars, I have no clue for US, check with your dealer.

See U

PAT

P.S sorry for all the mistakes.....Try to do my best in english

I believe I read that production will start July 1? Anybody have any idea when pricing will be available on the fordvehicles website?

 

Also, I am not sure about the Vista roof, cost and reliability. Have there been problems with it?

 

Does it void the warranty if I get my own powered sunroof put in?

Anybody ever get an aftermarket sunroof? Rough cost? Reliability and quality?

Hi, I agree with everyting said, vista roof is the way to go. Plus in Canada there's a package (60T) call tourism package. You get the vista roof for 1850$ and you get the GPS free (700$). Just ordered mine friday.

PAT

Don't think there will be any incentives on a new redesign, GMs new Equinox still no incentives

don't expect 0% or cash back like we see on the 2010. Ford will want to get all the 2010 sold before they do anything, expect incentives this time next year at the earliest, just a guess..

some pics of a 2011 seen at my local dealer

 

http://www.fordedgeforum.com/index.php?/topic/4903-2011-availability-pricing/page__gopid__38538entry38538

Hey Thanks, I know incentive won't be as good as now....but like my salesman told me, 2010 production stop next week and 2011 production start in July. So since 2010 inventory is already low and 2 month without Edge being built, I hope for good incentive in august......Enyway, made a good choice, 2011 on paper was more appealing to me.

By the way, since you saw it in person in Aurora, what's your impression on the 2011.

Thanks again

PAT

Hi 1dufos,

No price does not include taxes. I'm in the Montréal area.....With GST and Québec PST come to 46807$ canadian, but I have the first payment pay by Ford. Hope incetive will be better on delivery day.....

See U

Hi everyone...

Finaly made the move and ordered my 2011 Edge limited....production start in july.....hope to have it in august. Here's the spec...

2011 Edge Limited Front wheel drive 39199$ canadian

options:

Tourist package 1850$ (Nav system and Vista roof) this package save you 700$

20" chrome wheel 800$

Driver entry package witch include Push-Button Start, power liftgate, remote start and perimeter alarm. 1000$

Towing package 500$

HiD headlamp 600$

Rubber mat 100$

So got all this with x-plan for 41450$ can

I can wait to drive it.....

Basically the base price for the AWD Limited went down to $39,169 and I negotiated for a bit more, with the following: Vista roof ($1850), trailer pkg ($500), remote start( incl.), rubber floor mats (incl.), 20" wheels ($800), White titanium metallic paint ($300), $799 for the electronic rust prevention module with paint and leather protection. $1000 off for the COSTCO promo, + freight, pdi, gas tax, gst, pst. and $299 for the transaction.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Still waiting patiently!

Thanks Edgefan, but finaly you end up paying how much with everything you mention ? I'm asking because I will very soon make the move.

The day the wife and I went to the dealership to test drive the Edge that we both agreed on that we liked, the only thing missing was the trailer pkg. Sales guy said he'd send the truck out to get one put on in and it would be ready for pick up in a day or two!

I thought to myself, "is this guy for real?" Does he not know that you get a few more things out of the trailer hitch than just the hitch its self? What about the upgraded battery, upgraded cooling fan, engine oil cooler and HD rad? He told me that they usually already have them on most Edge's. After that, I changed my tune and let him know that I'd rather have it built and put in at the factory.

I actually got lucky because two days later I was able to go back and sign the deal and the $1000 Costco promo just started, so I saved another $1000 on top of the X-Plan I got to use from my company!

I guess I got luck when they let me know just after New Years that it should be at the dealership the week on the 25th of January. It's only a 5 week waiting period. Hopefully everything goes well and their isn't any problems!!!

Still not that happy about the salesguy trying to pull a fast one on me!!

Hey Edge Fan, nice to see that you did't get trick by the salesguy....Tell me how much did you pay for your edge and witch options did you choose ?...

Thanks
