chicagoslick Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thank you - look forward towards getting past the learning curve with all of the new options. It wont take you long. You will be a pro before you know it. I have not taken delivery of mine as I ordered a 2016 Sport. I currently have a loaded 2013 Fusion Titanium (triple platinum white with dark charcoal rims) and I'm expecting the edge to only have minor differences to that.

You will love your 2016 with the upgraded Sync 3 - the reviews have been great so far! I was thinking of waiting for a 2016 but thought they would get pushed to January and did not want to wait. My dealer yesterday thou told me they expect to have them by mid December and the way they pushed my car thru, you may get yours very shortly (by or before Christmas) - good luck and keep us updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knickerbocker Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 Rumor has it that the US market is getting the 2016's first, while other markets are pushed back to January. But like I said, just a rumor in an attempt to get me to have my order in ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoslick Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I only hope you guy's are right. I would love to get mine before Christmas...I will keep you guys posted and load pics when it comes in...BTW I ordered, a Sport AWD in Electric Spice, 401A, Cold Weather Package, 21" Rims, Vista Roof, Inflatable rear seat belts, Adaptive Cruise, locking wheel nuts, and Cargo Accessory Package.

baseball Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I thing I was most concerned about in getting my 2015 sport is not waiting for Sync 3 in the 16's - but after using My Ford Touch over the last several days I really don't know why it gets such a bad rap - I find it very easy to use and while maybe not the fastest system out there, it is my faster than what I had in my 2012 TL. The 4 quads on the touch screen make perfect sense to me and I rather like the system - a very pleasant surprise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I think the folks still having significant problems have bad hardware and the dealers are either reluctant or unable to diagnose it and fix it. I agree about the quadrant system - it couldn't be any simpler or more intuitive yet people complain about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cds71 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I like the MFT....very logical, and easy to use. My only issue with it, would be to implement wireless updates....but other than that, Im very happy with the MFT system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturepro Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 Own my 15 sport for two week, 718 miles. only prob is trying to not lead foot and use up all the gas. I did not get the AWD only went with FWD and the other day stood on the gas getting on freeway has some torque steer that time 20-60mph. Now questioning if I made the right $1500 decision to Not option it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet it brings a smile to your face when you step on the gas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to know how does an AWD compare to a FWD in 0-60 & 1/4 mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseball Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 After driving my new sport for about a week I can happily report I am very happy with my decision. I drove Acura TL's for the past 7 years and I must say I like my Edge much better. Its practical when I want it to be, and sporty when I have the opportunity. I am really impressed with all the features this car has (mine is fully loaded). And the cabin is so quiet and plenty of room for me and my passengers. The 2.7 liter engine is terrific - step on the gas and there is no lag time at all. Athough I would probably prefer Sync 3 based on the reviews, I find My ford Touch is really not a bad system. It took me no time to figure out and even though this system gets bashed for being slow, its much faster than what I had in my Acura TL. This car is really the best of all worlds - practical passenger car when I want it to be and a fun sporty vehicle with its 315HP engine. I understand why people go to BMW's or Audi cross overs but for me, why pay the extra 20K? Also the design and the lines of the car with 21 inch wheels make it look fantastic. There really is nothing else like it in its class for the price on the road - I don't know why Ford does not market this car more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cds71 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Totally agree 110%....and my wife and I even had one of the leaky ones to start off with, but we fell in love with it....so we had no problem staying with the edge sport when ford gave us a new one.
