StrongWind Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I think for at LEAST another 10 or 12 years. We have an 07. Should last a while with proper care and maintenance. My last Ford was a 2001 F150 SuperCrew Lariat 2WD. Drove it for 9 years and 160,000 miles without a major issue. Sold it because I wanted the "newer" bodystyle - I found a great used 2007 F150 SuperCrew Lariat 2WD to replace it. I've been very happy with Ford products. They build a good quality vehicle at a reasonable price. I see no reason to expect "less" from our new 2010 Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturepro Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Over the years the ford cars I've owned and had problems and lots of problems Capri, SVT focus, parents had two Taurus, sister had a Taurus and nothing but problems.I think the trucks are a different build quality. I had a 1995 ford bronco without any problems in 130,000 miles. Hopefully the Edge will be trouble free. My family is not a gas and go type, all the service requirements were done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a good truck so far..only have 30K on it. I agree with you on the Ford Quality. We're selling the wifes 02 Escape and going to a 2011 Edge SEL next Spring. They' ve both been good vehicles (So was mt FIRST FORD: 1969 Fairlane 2DHT w/302 Auto.) I hope I can get the same rsults out of the Edge...looking forward to it.

Paul79UF Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I'm sure it will do better than my GM car. I'll be happy if I don't have to replace the window motors / regulators constantly. I've done the procedure 4 or 5 times on my Grand Prix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marklisa03 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 My 2011 Ford Edge will be replacing my 1992 Ford Aerostar so I'm hoping my new car will last as long as my previous Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonaSport11 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I hope a minimum of 7-10yrs. That way I can use the MYKEY technology on my kids when they want to "borrow" the car! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hoping to keep her from getting the explorer, hehe) I did the same with the wifes car when we had a break from our lousy winter. The next week we wound up ordering her a new Explorer. At least the dealer got to see the awesome shape her cars in in case we trade it to them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogregb Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Average life span is 5 years for me, the cars last, as I tend not to put a lot of miles on vehicles, ( avg 6k per year) I just get tired of them and want something new!:yup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julena Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 i love my car for longer time.Maintenance keeps your car young and giving good performance.After crossing 10-12 years I will think in other direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choff1138 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 10 years - I tend to finance 60 months and then it is time to replace the other car - that is then 10 years. or there about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 You never know how long a car will last. But here's my thought after 46,000 miles on my 2010 Edge Sport. I think the transmission will be the first major system to crap out on my Edge. I can't give a time or mileage, but if it goes 150K I'd be surprised. 46,000 miles in 1.5 years make my transmission a 4.5 year item. That sure seems soon doesn't it? Let's hope not, but it is already doing funky things. (see Transmission forum/thread) Mine does the big "Bump" act now and then too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomSm Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 If it last as long as our '84 T-bird has then we will be happy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
