92merc Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Well, I've decided not to order an Edge. Biggest reason isn't because of the Edge itself. I only drive about 5k miles a year or so. I live 4 blocks from work and walk in the winter, ride motorcycle in the summer just about everywhere. So shelling out $30k+ on a car just didn't make financial sense for me. I like the looks of the Edge and all, but not enough to spend a lot more on it than a used car. But on the good side, it's a Ford, well sort of. My dealer found me a used 2007 Mercury Montego Premier with only 16k miles on it. And a good $13k cheaper than a new Edge. So I pretty sure I'll be quite happy with this car. One thing I can say is Ford should have put the HID lights from the Montego on the Edge. Those suckers are Holy Crap bright. Just the way I like it.

If HID are important to you then look at the MKX. :yup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhunter Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Thats what I thought. Ford always has good lights. On my F-350 SD I get flashed on low all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
