Cars.com's Bill Jackson takes a look at the 2009 Ford Edge Sport. It competes with the Nissan Murano and Mazda CX-7. Shot and produced by: Matthew Avery Edited by: Sarah Gersh
I used to only talk about the unmatched value and quality of Japanese vehicles. It's 2010 and things have changed. I have a 2008 Ford Edge Limited and I am very pleased with it. Also, when I drive past the factory that makes them, it makes me feel good. Remember, many Japanese brands are also made on this side of the pond.
@88soulsurvivor i agree the government shouldn't have spent the tax dollars that way but those "bailouts" were actually loans and most people don't even know that.
I'm a very big Ford fan...but, I can't lie. After watching the full video and, seeing the price tag of this thing...., over 43k is VERY rediculious!!! I think around 32k-37k would be great for this vehicle.
If I had the choice I would rather Ford had also launched this in Europe too instead of the Kuga that we ended-up with. I bet the Edge would out-sell the BMW X5 if they launched it here in Europe...especially if they did a Diesel-powered version like a 3.0TDCi.
Something I really hate about Ford, even the new ones is the dashboard. On every model, the dashboard simply looks so plain that the interior looks cheap.
Were they gonna care to mention that it was the AWD version? That ain't the MPG for the FWD. But yeah, that's a bit pricey, considering you don't even get a barely power (only 6-way for $43k?) seat and heated mirrors. They shouldn't even be options, that's ridiculous.
Colourful Ronny it has the 3.5L duretec engine with the internal water pump. The AWD PTU can go out if you don’t change the fluid. Ford says it’s a lifetime fluid. The Ford 6F35 transmissions are weak. The panoramic sunroof can get stuck if you don’t clean and lube the tracks every year. Rust likes to form in the rear wheel fenders.
Colourful Ronny I would probably buy one of the newer ones. This is my first vehicle and I got it cheap from my grandparents so I can't really complain. It's been pretty good otherwise like in deep snow with winter tires. I get about 13-14L/100km and about 500km of range driving to work and back.
Its True! If america wants to sell cars they need to take away the speed limits and start building some sporty cars. Im a corvette Fan, but the new one is made of plastic.
I think he's depressed because he is stuck reviewing a Ford while his colleague is reviewing a BMW 535xi built up to $70,000+ in features. I'd be depressed too...
Super ok, calitate pret, bate o gramada de marci, gen q7, x5, bla bla..... (Super cool, as price, beating a lot of brands, like the Q7, X5, blah blah .....)
worldtravel101, ' hi there,,, dont use a word - YOU - on me,,, too bad to ford,,, ford know better and must put 3 colors on the rear taillights,,, red is no help,,, amber is the best help
KittyKranker, ' dont use 2 words - YOU / YOUR - on me,,, haha i am not engineer person,,, i am a good judge and looking at this ford cars are some bad and some good designs,,, sure many ford engineers are not smart enough to making it good ford vehicles,,, also ford engineers wants ford vehicles having problems, go garages, fixes it up repair too much, accident and go body shop again again,,, that is a poor design ford vehicle and ripoff
' oh nooo,,, NO thank,,, i dont like this car ford edge,,, two reasons are not good, lousy, and poor design on this edge,,, 1 - not have 2 amber yellow lights on rear for turning sign and emergency parking lot,,, 2 - front silver grille is a block and not enough cool air go through to the cooler radiator / cooler motor
Toyota always does that, they copy everyone. Honda had like one of the firest production hybrids, and then Toyota came along and tweeked it and called it theirs. Same thing with that Venza thing. Whatever.
Toyota is so dull I might commit suicide by falling asleep at the wheel and drive off the road if I'd actually drive one. I prize my life, so I don't drive those POS dullmobiles. Besides only people who don't know or care to drive a car use those appliances ("automobile" as a word cannot be used in the same sentence with Toyota. So bring on the hate. Feude am Fahren.

Is the Edge a reliable car?
Looks sweet and I like those 22's.
well it's a good thing that they make the edge sport in both of those colors
the 2007-present Ford Edge is assembled in
Oakville, Ontario, Canada
yeah your 100% right about everything u just commented on. not to mention ford has 18 billion dollar market cap as of right now.
Very nice! I'd pick this over the Nissan Maurano anyday! ;-)
@CoreyForeside are u saying buy a cadillac?
The first Insight didn't "Suck", when it arrived in 1999, no one really needed a Hybrid, so they didn't sell much.
What he said makes sense..most of the time when i see a car broken down on the road, it is a Ford or some other American car.
I like more the standard appearance - the lower parts look better in black (especially when combined with orange)
Take a look at the Freestyle/Taurus X. Has a bigger rear window for third row homies.
@88soulsurvivor
i agree the government shouldn't have spent the tax dollars that way but those "bailouts" were actually loans and most people don't even know that.
I love how Ford made this more sportier
the 6.2 boss thats in the super duty truck would be nice
Dude !!! What does Ford have anything to do with GM ? The Edge is a good car !!!
which would look better on the edge 24" or 26"
24s, because if you put 26 on them you'll have rubbing issues and it'll make the car look goofy
I totally dont doubt you!
edge and flex are rellly nice mini suvs from ford!
Rough roads in Chicago? How about in rural Nebraska, where few roads are paved at all?
what did they do to you? (don't hate)
I like the ford edge, but i also like the FX
Very nice....
this and the new ford taurus are my favorite.
I feel this was a very good review.
of course the ord edge is better than the "toy" venza, looks strong, perfoms well, and is reliable
Is that the guy from jeepers creepers 2.30 top left
Why not just buy the lincoln MKX?
I'm a very big Ford fan...but, I can't lie. After watching the full video and, seeing the price tag of this thing...., over 43k is VERY rediculious!!! I think around 32k-37k would be great for this vehicle.
Yeah but, still... If the top of the line model cost that much..., Ford should offer another engine choice for it(4.6 or, atleast a 3.8 V8). ;-)
its kinda funny as there makeing this video ther is a explorer and taurus in tha back driveing
amen
If I had the choice I would rather Ford had also launched this in Europe too instead of the Kuga that we ended-up with.
I bet the Edge would out-sell the BMW X5 if they launched it here in Europe...especially if they did a Diesel-powered version like a 3.0TDCi.
yes and yes

i believe he said firmily. LMAO
Firmaly???
I have the 2009 Ford Edge limited awd
Darren Woloshyn what are the cons?
Colourful Ronny it has the 3.5L duretec engine with the internal water pump. The AWD PTU can go out if you don’t change the fluid. Ford says it’s a lifetime fluid. The Ford 6F35 transmissions are weak. The panoramic sunroof can get stuck if you don’t clean and lube the tracks every year. Rust likes to form in the rear wheel fenders.
Darren Woloshyn what about gas. I see mileage is 17mpg but how long is it actually lasting for you? We drive a lot.
Darren Woloshyn and knowing what you know now would you buy it again?
Colourful Ronny I would probably buy one of the newer ones. This is my first vehicle and I got it cheap from my grandparents so I can't really complain. It's been pretty good otherwise like in deep snow with winter tires. I get about 13-14L/100km and about 500km of range driving to work and back.
love this vehicle, but i wish the mpg was a lil higher... its the same as the ford explorer... all yrs and models.
da relic

2009 Honda Element SC !
thats for the top of the line sport model, the se is much cheaper
Oh yeah. Mos def.! That's if, SVT ever want to make a sports truck to compete with the JeepSRT8, ML AMG, X5 and, FX50! ;-)
Edge is much closer to the CX9 than the Cx7,,,in specs and price....
this guy prefer to see the edge with muddin bogers
i would take this over the yoyo venza.
those 22 inch rims look like they belong on the 2010 Mustang
dam 22's
other way round
he said "uh" 16 times.
Super ok, calitate pret, bate o gramada de marci, gen q7, x5, bla bla..... (Super cool, as price, beating a lot of brands, like the Q7, X5, blah blah .....)
The Venza copied it's grille.
True? Good insult?

who writes this stuff for you.....firm---aly?
lol that's not true. Ford is a good car. but they are like 2-3 years late.
Toyota always does that, they copy everyone. Honda had like one of the firest production hybrids, and then Toyota came along and tweeked it and called it theirs. Same thing with that Venza thing. Whatever.
Toyota is so dull I might commit suicide by falling asleep at the wheel and drive off the road if I'd actually drive one. I prize my life, so I don't drive those POS dullmobiles. Besides only people who don't know or care to drive a car use those appliances ("automobile" as a word cannot be used in the same sentence with Toyota. So bring on the hate. Feude am Fahren.
