DBLTD Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Happy to be joining the forum. We just made a deal tonight on a new Edge for my wife. It's a 2012 Edge Limited in White Platinum with black leather, 301 package and Ecoboost. It's a couple hundred miles away so we'll probably be picking it up Monday. They had an identical 2013 on the lot but there just weren't enough incentives to make a deal. We were supposed to be seeing a Toyota Venza tonight as well but the Edge was our first choice, and as I expected, they didn't want us to leave the lot without making a deal. Our only hesitation was some of the bad reviews on the MyFord touch system but hopefully the new update is all they say. Funny enough, the system locked up on us about halfway through our test drive. They say most dealers have recieved all thier upgrade kits so I'm hoping ours is already done or at least comes with the kit. Can't wait to pick it up!

What a nice vehicle! I test drove a Cadillac SRX a few weeks ago and the Edge is much smoother and quieter IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOEHIO Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) I checked out the Caddy SRX, can't compare to my MKX. Got the upgrade in the mail yesterday, took 40 minutes to install, everything is quicker and a lot smoother. Should get your kits any day now.

timf Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 The SRX definitely seemed underpowered compared to the Edge and MKX. It was a nice car feature wise, and the only one in GM's lineup that can even come close to the Edge and MKX feature-wise, but the engine was very unresponsive and almost sounded like it was straining to get up to speed on the freeway. I really wanted the MKX, but couldn't justify paying $80 a month more (plus an extra year) once I optioned it to the same level as my Edge.
