    If these European people think the edge is big they haven't been to the US

      The Edge is not an SUV, its class is a CUV and of course there are bigger vehicles then it. You think they are oblivious to the fact there are full size SUVs? It's a larger vehicle on the road then many of the cars on the road. You can see with your own eye balls if you would stop thinking about "how great america is" and see how narrow their roads are. When the roads are narrow, even the Edge or any other CUV is considered a large vehicle. This is why even Canadians hate americans, you simply think guns equal freedom. You think violence equals freedom. You think the world revolves around you. Grow up, go to school, and maybe a gym.

      From the UK here, yeah the roads are smaller here and so are all the cars on it. They're bigger than they were a couple of decades ago (but the car park spaces frustratingly haven't got any bigger), but you're absolutely spot on a massive car by UK/Europe standards is medium by US standards.

    The Edge is a greatly reliable vehicle. However, the only problems I have had with mine are the PTU (Power Transfer Unit) 'front differential' which lies between the transmission and the engine and gets obnoxiously heated the fact that its oil needs changing every 50,000 kms, as well as the rear differential oil which also requires changing or at least refilling with 75w140 rear axle oil at the same odometer, too. Other than that, the car drives wonderfully and has got the least issues.

    Just bought a 2018 Edge with the ecotech......I’m beyond impressed! Previous to this, I drove a 2006 Ford Fivehundred (I like Ford) and 3.9L 6 cylinder. I was really hesitant to buy a 4 cylinder, but holy crap, it moves, putting out 245hp. In Toronto traffic, you’re lucky to break 110km/h anyways, but merging onto the highway? Way better then my 6 cylinde AWD, so glad I went with the ecotech, and the edge...the highest crash test rating with knee, side, front, and in between driver and passenger airbags, kick ass sound system, when I see all its competitors on the road, I’m so glad I went with the Ford, just has nicer lines, and all the tech you could want. I test drove the 6 cylinder first, but didn’t like the response, but the 4 cylinder surprised the hell out of me...definitely worth the money!!!

    @1:29 - why does nobody at Ford notice that nearly ALL S-max/Edge models have such ill fitting centre console trim where the cover opens... someone on the assembly line is clearly fitting them incorrectly, as they're not meant to be this bad!

    • @mjames2117
      @mjames2117 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Minor detail. Not relevant when purchasing a car. IF centre console detail is important suggest to manufacturers design them to be completely removable like in the older Volvo XC90 models where they lift out completely. That is a good idea but requires removal of vents and adapters/ wiring from it etc.

    Why oh why do you not mention that the infotainment system has been updated since your test car was built? This is lazy journalism! With the Sync 3 system there is no problem with an unresponsive display. I have had my car for nearly a year now and this has never happened to mine. I also have never had an issue with the auto parking facility, I can only assume that this has been updated too.

    I've had a 17 Edge Sport 6 speed manual in black for 11K miles now and superb with not a single issue. I test drove all the competition from bmw, audi, land rover etc before making a factory order with Ford and very happy with my choice. In the UK we can have adaptive LED headlights which add to the appearance and are very effective.
