I drove both SEL and Sport. I would take the sport for looks and bells & whistles.. and upgrade the brakes to high-end ceramic pads and rotors ($250 apx).. that will improve brake responsea little, and be on my merry little way.
ford edge looks great, especially the sport. i would take an edge sport over an audi Q3,5,7 and happily save myself some grands. sadly we don't have them here in germany.
As long as production of American cars is kept in Detroit, that depressing, mediocre, communist third world hell whole, American cars will continue to suck.
@davidhalifax how about you taking a refresher parking course....i have one and have no issues parking it..especially in tight spaces..and ive only been driving 6 months.
I hope you all realize that the brakes are really bad, and even that extra feet can lead you to an accident. Just to let you know it was only 0-60, imagine if you were in the highway driving faster than that. Good luck.
I really like the EDGE but like i ben saying the price is just to much for something that is made in america. When you have oversea companies building in america for the same price you need to lower the price on your cars to keep up because most people are going to look at maxima's and other oversea cars if they can get them for the same price. I mean the C class Benz is about the same as the sport EDGE so which one would most people take. I love Ford but they need to rethink the prices.
love this car so far, daily driver, roomy,drives smooth, avg gas mileage, had a 2010 honda crv traded it in on 2011 Ford Edge, dont knock it till u drive it, thank you Ford Gods.

test drove then rented the Ford Edge. Not impressed. Although, nice looking SUV type, brake performance was a problem. Not recommended. Instead, chose another car maker.
love this vehicle, wish i could afford one, they are so comfortable, fun to drive, have nice options for a good price and get great milage, tbh Ford i beleive is the 1# american manfucaturer if not the top of all. i really llove their new vehicles they have really stepped up there game and now im glad they did

Yea .. the barkes seem a little soft ...however by no means do I want everyone to believe that the Edge does not have good enough brakes ...the owner of the vehicle will get accustomed to the brakes and it will be fine . I have driven the 2011 and did not see or feel any difference under normal driving . I appreciate you looking at a new Ford next year ..
What is with those new gauges? The ugliest gauges ever. Even if I could buy a Ford Edge (or Explorer for that matter), I would not buy just because of those gauges.
@Fussinated You really have to understand and have someone that knows the system of how it really works . Safety is what Ford had in mind when they created this vehicle. I know the Nav. system inside and out ..however the new one took me a little longer to understand ...Ford makes 2 different Nav. systems this year ...with Edge and Explorer having the newer system. It really can be alot of fun once you understand it.
@dhpdhp100 No, no. I am talking about the gauges that point downwards and ends at the upper right quarter of the dial. If it is for safety to check the speed the eye movement is more downwards than the classic dials which start at the lower left quarter and ends at the lower left quarter of the dial.
I drive my '03 Toyota Matrix all week long and on weekends I drive my wife's new Edge Limted. I almost rear end someone within the first 20 minutes every time because the braking is so much worse than on the Matrix.
@dhpdhp100 True but you'd think Ford could do a bit more in the size of the rotor and pad size. Believe me. The only complaint I have about it is the braking. It's a comfortable, attractive truck with plenty of power. I'll likely buy a 2011 Edge in a year or so since my Matrix will have about 180000 mi. on it.
how can ford allow a car like this for it to stop from 60-0 in anything over 124 feet? hell no. ford is cheap, so that it can use cheap products that only last about 3 years.
Then you are awareness impaired. I not only included numbers but cited a source for those numbers. One source among many that can be found if you were to actually research the matter rather than rely upon your uneducated beliefs.
ford is doing great,actually ford is getting more respect now since they didnt take the bailout money,and with new desighners and the new ceo ford is doing great now,its not surprising that ford is actually the top american company now,gm has competition but thats what keeps it interesting,ford and gm at their best,and now america is speeding past most japanese cars in tehnology,thats called american enginuity
@stephenapr1 Not true. Ford, Toyota and BMW all took some of the money. They just didn't need it to avoid bankruptcy and are thus correct in saying that they didn't "need" to take money from the government.
Agreed that they are making a quality product though.
@hansen71199 I find it difficult to take advice from someone who still cannot spell "your" however, I am well aware of the facts. Ford took the following:
Export-Import Bank loan - $250M
DOE loans - $2.9B
technology research loans - $62M
supply network bailout - $5B
-Reuters
The money has been repaid and it was a good move on Ford's part but to claim that they took no money is dishonest and shows that you have not done any research yourself and are perpetuating the myth.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@LerticusMaximus very nice numbers you have here,but i still doubt this and to believe you i cannot,for all i know you could have made these numbers up,im well aware they accepted no bailout money
@LerticusMaximus are you talking about bailout money from the US government? is so ford did not take any at all, and it would make no sense for toyota( a japanese company) and BMW(a german company) to take US money..so you are wrong.
@lonespartan31289 true, i dont know why people are trying to pin things on companies that havent taken any, ford has never taken any because they were smart and saved for something like this, not saying they are in the same shape as before the economic downturn but they are doing well considering.
POWER.. isnt always everything you know.. this has always gm's problem. hope they do something about it now, cant wait for the time where gm beats the crap out of italian cars and german cars.. thing is,.. when will that happen..
@tinleo333 Yeah you have a good point about the damn brakes, but other than that the motor trend testers are putting it through tests regular people won't put it through. So some people are judging the Edge based on unrealistic scenarios. Except for the brake situation, which does need improvement.

I don't see a point in having the edge since the explorer is now a car and built similarly, and just offer a sport package in the explorer like before.
They need to have the option of sport grill on regular edge, I'll get one then. I don't want the sport with those numbers. I'll get the mustang for weekend too! Better give me good deal on both of them!

I just saw my neighbors new ford edge, i was stunned it looks very clean in person very eye catching... i was shocked to know it was a ford lol.. good work .. !!!
if u dont like the look of this edge then ur blind.... this is a very sexy vehicle.... at first i didnt like the black grill as much as the crome when i saw it on here but when i saw it in person i really liked it
Those brakes are to small , get bigger rotors and you will stop shorter. With those I would be afraid of someone braking suddenly in front of you. Your might rear end them if your too close .
Hey yall need to quit trippn. Who really is gonna drive the edge like those testers at motor trend do? In the real world,no one is really buying the edge to test it like we see on this video. Cmon! Ease up. It's a nice suv with good gas mileage, it's safe, and stylish, and most of middle america is going to buy it and enjoy it. If everybody bought or didn't buy vehicles based on the opinions of motor trend, the car companies would need unlimited bailouts!

@Martin00028Guitar Ok maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not hating on Ford. I have 2002 Taurus that has over 100k miles. I was talking to all the haters of the ford edge. They were making it seem like people in the real world were going to, on a normal day, drive the edge like the motor trend people drive it. They were putting it through the tester as if the general buying public would be doing the same. Give the edge a break, is what I was saying to the hatin' ass commenters! Me and u are cooltho
@drippinblood28 well thats nice. I dont have an opinion on the grand Cherokee. Its nice looking tho. Im just not a chrysler man. Sorry. No, wait, I'm actually not!
@charlieboozer82 Regardless of cornering prowess, the fact that the Edge has very poor braking performance should make it a deal-breaker. 155 feet for 60-0 is extremely bad. And all drivers at some point have to make a panic stop. This vehicle's bad brakes means a driver would rear-end someone in a freeway panic situation. Not good. It isn't safe.
@charlieboozer82 I don't know man... by the looks of it the owner will have to get new brakes often and that can be very pricey. We used to have a GM SAAB 95 and it was a heavy car but for all the weight GM decided to put small brakes and so we spent soo much money every time to get new pads and often! and we didn't drive like that! Our SAAB was just an A to B car... This video just shows how fast you can lose your pads. So ya I'm trippin!
This Edge is not a new model, it's a half-life refresh of the same exact platform, you can really tell by looking at it from the back which has not changed at all... the "Sport" is way to expensive at ~$40,000.
I only have two gripes for the Edge. My first and most important problem, are those brakes. Big, honkin trucks have better stopping distance than 140 and 155 feet. My second gripe, is the fact that you cannot get tan or brown colored leather in the Edge! Think how hot a black Edge Sport with brown or tan leather would be. Why do ALL Sport trims either have grey or black leather? It's stupid!
Oh I wish automakers would stop putting such huge wheels on every vehicle they make. 22s? Come on, even 20s are too big. Not everyone is into that urban hip hop scene where they think bigger wheels are better. Believe me nobody is hating or even paying attention and could care less about your shitty oversized rims on your shitty car.
@adulby Don't make it about race, dude. I'm sure it was a white person who chose those wheels for the package and more white people are going to buy it anyway.
@DocWolph it was a joke...and in my area of the country most rims are purchased by black people. just a majority stereo-type. no way around it. and race is only a big deal if you make it one.
That is a little fishy, even when a little warm brakes don't make such a sudden difference such as that. Maybe they used different techniques or the equipment glitched but that just doesn't make sense. Either way if you are that let down by brakes it isn't that expensive to upgrade them.
Also it still weighs almost 1000 pounds more than a car easily so even 150 isn't that bad considering.
looks good, ecoboost option in the future will kick ass!!!! finally be able to compete with stuff like Infinity FX35-50's and maybe the lower model X5's and stuff :)
@mcheddadi Chill out kumquat! The track test is just for fun. Many of us are just curious as to what numbers it does even if the average buyer doesn't give a shit. Also, all the trolls bitching about this car on youtube, can't afford one, or will ever be buying a new car. So, take a chill pill.
That actually looks pretty nice. I always thought the Edge looked ugly, but the updated facia and the Sport model makes it look pretty nice. Though the brakes arn't anything to be proud about...there's nothing that a trip to a local dealership for a set of cross drilled rotors can't fix. With the rebates you get back from Ford in cash, it'd be stupid to not buy one of their cars for such a small flaw.
First of all, way to not mention that the reason the Sport was .5 seconds slower was because the Sport was an AWD model when compared to the FWD SEL, of course it's heavier and slower. Compare two AWD models next time clowns. Also, the 22's are not optional on the sport, they are standard. Sweet journalism…
4000+ pounds and 22" rims . manufactures are getting really ridiculous with their wheel sizes now days , you can get the same and better over all performance not to mention fuel economy with smaller wheel packages
I hv\ave this car, AND I LOVE IT!

@lonespartan31289 true, i dont know why people are trying to pin things on companies that havent taken any, ford has never taken any because they were smart and saved for something like this, not saying they are in the same shape as before the economic downturn but they are doing well considering.

@tinleo333 Yeah you have a good point about the damn brakes, but other than that the motor trend testers are putting it through tests regular people won't put it through. So some people are judging the Edge based on unrealistic scenarios. Except for the brake situation, which does need improvement.

I don't see a point in having the edge since the explorer is now a car and built similarly, and just offer a sport package in the explorer like before.

They need to have the option of sport grill on regular edge, I'll get one then. I don't want the sport with those numbers. I'll get the mustang for weekend too! Better give me good deal on both of them!

Those brakes are to small , get bigger rotors and you will stop shorter. With those I would be afraid of someone braking suddenly in front of you. Your might rear end them if your too close .

Hey yall need to quit trippn. Who really is gonna drive the edge like those testers at motor trend do? In the real world,no one is really buying the edge to test it like we see on this video. Cmon! Ease up. It's a nice suv with good gas mileage, it's safe, and stylish, and most of middle america is going to buy it and enjoy it. If everybody bought or didn't buy vehicles based on the opinions of motor trend, the car companies would need unlimited bailouts!

@Martin00028Guitar Ok maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not hating on Ford. I have 2002 Taurus that has over 100k miles. I was talking to all the haters of the ford edge. They were making it seem like people in the real world were going to, on a normal day, drive the edge like the motor trend people drive it. They were putting it through the tester as if the general buying public would be doing the same. Give the edge a break, is what I was saying to the hatin' ass commenters! Me and u are cooltho

charlieboozer82 1 year ago
@charlieboozer82 Regardless of cornering prowess, the fact that the Edge has very poor braking performance should make it a deal-breaker. 155 feet for 60-0 is extremely bad. And all drivers at some point have to make a panic stop. This vehicle's bad brakes means a driver would rear-end someone in a freeway panic situation. Not good. It isn't safe.
JET997u 11 months ago
@charlieboozer82 I don't know man... by the looks of it the owner will have to get new brakes often and that can be very pricey. We used to have a GM SAAB 95 and it was a heavy car but for all the weight GM decided to put small brakes and so we spent soo much money every time to get new pads and often! and we didn't drive like that! Our SAAB was just an A to B car... This video just shows how fast you can lose your pads. So ya I'm trippin!

This Edge is not a new model, it's a half-life refresh of the same exact platform, you can really tell by looking at it from the back which has not changed at all... the "Sport" is way to expensive at ~$40,000.

I only have two gripes for the Edge. My first and most important problem, are those brakes. Big, honkin trucks have better stopping distance than 140 and 155 feet. My second gripe, is the fact that you cannot get tan or brown colored leather in the Edge! Think how hot a black Edge Sport with brown or tan leather would be. Why do ALL Sport trims either have grey or black leather? It's stupid!

Oh I wish automakers would stop putting such huge wheels on every vehicle they make. 22s? Come on, even 20s are too big. Not everyone is into that urban hip hop scene where they think bigger wheels are better. Believe me nobody is hating or even paying attention and could care less about your shitty oversized rims on your shitty car.

Because they said the AWD Sport is over 300 lbs heavier. I agree though, if it's slower then there is nothing sporty about it.

@aarikc17
That is a little fishy, even when a little warm brakes don't make such a sudden difference such as that. Maybe they used different techniques or the equipment glitched but that just doesn't make sense. Either way if you are that let down by brakes it isn't that expensive to upgrade them.
Also it still weighs almost 1000 pounds more than a car easily so even 150 isn't that bad considering.

That actually looks pretty nice. I always thought the Edge looked ugly, but the updated facia and the Sport model makes it look pretty nice. Though the brakes arn't anything to be proud about...there's nothing that a trip to a local dealership for a set of cross drilled rotors can't fix. With the rebates you get back from Ford in cash, it'd be stupid to not buy one of their cars for such a small flaw.

First of all, way to not mention that the reason the Sport was .5 seconds slower was because the Sport was an AWD model when compared to the FWD SEL, of course it's heavier and slower. Compare two AWD models next time clowns. Also, the 22's are not optional on the sport, they are standard. Sweet journalism…
