Ford Edge. Crossovers are the fastest growing vehicle segment in the U.S., overtaking traditional SUVs in sales and popularity. The Ford Edge embodies the appeal of this niche by offering the versatility of an SUV with improved maneuverability, ride comfort and fuel-efficiency. The Edge borrows some of the best design elements and features from Ford Motor Company's storehouse. The Ford Fusion lends its three-bar chrome grill for a distinct first impression, while the car rides on a platform derived from the Mazda6. The Edge also shares engines and some suspension components with the Mazda CX-9. All of these elements and many more than are exclusive to Edge are wrapped up into a refined, confident, versatile vehicle.

I’m a used car dealer and I buy the ford edges/ Lincoln MKXs all the time at dealer auctions or just off the street generally. I buy them with 200,000 + miles and they run like brand new!!!! My customers love them to this day. The ford edge is an excellent car!
we just bought the edge with everything in it today and we love it.
TheyCallMeEd WOW! This comment was 10 YEARS AGO! (October 26, 2019)
Do you still have it?
I do admit the Genesis has been a success since its debut back in the fall of 2008. I remember reading about it in a Car and Driver back in the summer, and it did seem like one of the best full-size sedans there were (not including full-size luxury sedans). Of course, the price of it is higher than most full-size sedans, but that accounts for the extra luxury, power, and ride quality that it returns. It's a pretty good car.
I love the Eclipse. It's slick and sporty. But it's sold by Mitsubishi.
Your last sentence is entirely accurate.
'99 Suburban... that's awesome. I love those bigass American SUV's. They're hella strong, reliable, COMFORTABLE, great off-roaders, perfect cars...
The Audi A6 is a spectacular vehicle. I always liked Audi. I drive a 2008 Lincoln MKZ. It's a VERY nice car, also! You'll be VERY impressed by the quality and, features it have. I believe, the Lincoln MKZ is truely an underrated vehicle!
My parents were looking for an SUV and they thought they would love the Edge but once they drove it, it was awful! The handling sucked and the visibility was awful, and I thought it was pretty ugly. I had no room in the back (I'm 5'10) and even though my head was touching the roof I couldn't see out. They got a Nissan Rogue and love it.
Cameron S. I'm 6'3" and have plenty of room.
Really? What other options come along with the Signature?
Standard features of the Town Car include air conditioning w/dual-zone climate controls, tilt wood/leather-wrapped steering wheel w/radio and climate controls, cruise control, leather upholstery, heated 8-way power driver seat, memory system, universal garage door opener, and compass.
I guess the Town Car is more luxurious than I thought. But the DTS also has, for just $350 more, heated/cooled front seats, heated steering wheel, and heated rear seats. And the DTS has optional massaging at $50k.
When will KBB make a review about the 2011 ford edge ?
What do you drive?
I have a used 2007 Audi A6. I bought it five or six months ago.. it was in good condition but not great, 6700 miles, $33800. The previous owner had an additional navigation system, and it already has leather upholstery and power front seats and a ton of other stuff, so I was like "Hell yea!" lol
Oh stop hatin dude! That's Y it's still America's #1 best selling car and always will be!
wow 83 f150 with 250k still running? thats amazing
So if you get the Mazda CX-9 you get the same car with better styling?
Well..., for starters..., it's longer, it have reclining seats in the rear...with, fold down desks from, the back of the driver/passenger seats. Heated and, cooled seats with vibrators and, a DVD based navigation up front.
Is this a better car or a Mistibishi Outlander?
In return, I completely agree with you. I think American cars are decent competitors to foreign vehicles, though people fail/refuse to realize/respect that. Take a look at the Cadillac CTS-V, for example. The car gets from 0-60mph in 4.0 seconds (give or take 0.1 seconds from different testers), has 556 horsepower, has a fairly luxurious interior, and is $20,000 less than its weaker competitors, the BMW M5 and Mercedes E63 AMG. Or the Escalade, with all the luxury and power in the world.
Lincoln MKX is a luxury version of the Ford Edge.
Richard Camacho YEP!
I can say that, too....but, around as, the same as, the Ford Taurus limited version. My father(R.I.P.)had a 2005 Volvo S80. I was very nice. He owned two Volvos in his life time. The other was, a 740, back in the early 90s.. I say, that's a prettygood deal for your Tiburon(depending on, the condition). Personally..., I like sport and, sporty cars...but, I'm a SUV/Truck man. Lol..
the ford edge is the strongest in its class
Did I ever ask you what you drive?
Yea, I love SUV's too, but I like sports and sporty cars as well. I consider any 0-60mph acceleration under 5 seconds "really fast". I rode in a Subaru Impreza WRX sTI, and that does 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds and that was a FUN car.
Do you like compact, midsize, or large SUV's? I love large SUV's. I just feel like I'm the king of the world when driving one. They're roomy and luxurious. Sometimes it's ok to pollute the air... when you're having fun. lol
Didn't the third generation Taurus have huge engine problems pretty early on in its life? Something with the cam shafts..
I've also heard that a lot of their components are either poorly assembled or just poor in general.
They are making some pretty good looking vehicles now though. The 2010 Taurus SHO is pretty damn impressive.
@fizk even the leather ones, the seats height is so short.
Standard features include air conditioning and a tilt/telescopic steering wheel.
@stewiegriffin045 it is an additionally feature which costs $ but your correct in the fact that it exists
Alrighty, see you there.
240p?
Well..., you had 90% correct! The T. Sequoia and, Land Cruiser is sort of different...evendoe, they share the same platform. I'd say, it's more of just a luxury version of the Land Cruiser=the Lexus LX570. ;-)
@gunzkevin Very true. The last 3 vehicles we've had have all had problems, but I think that it was mostly because of where we bought them at.
@rkjpsn Well said, I wish Toyota and Honda would go back to their 90s manufacturing style. Toyotas and Hondas built in the 90s are basically bullet proof. Meanwhile their mass production and cost saving methods have hit their legendary reliability. Ford is learning from their past mistakes. You can see the improvement with each new model they're pushing out.
is it atomatic
driftervdog Yes, I believe so.
Thanks for helping me. I'm still going to call the Ford Edge the copier of the Lincoln Mkx. Just like some people may think the Chevrolet Tahoe is copying the Gmc Yukon, but it's not. They're just the same company which is GM. So anyway thanks for helping me.
I personally think, the Ford Edge still looks better...but, between both interiors..., it's arguable!
The Land Cruiser and LX570 are both expensive luxury SUV's. I think they are both luxurious alternatives to the Sequoia. But the LX570 isn't too high above the Land Cruiser. Just a few more standard features and literally 2 more horsepower.
You know what? You have to be one of the smartest, reasonable people I've spoken to, on this website, yet! I couldn't agree with you more! That's the only reason why, most people dislike American vehicles. Ford, GM and, Mopar have made LEDGENDARY engines and, drivetrains over the past century(big blocks and, small blocks)! With that being said..., how can someone knock an American vehicle's creditability??? Smh..
Well..., some people are starting to say, Hyundai's quality is on par with Honda and, Toyota(in which, I don't think so, as of yet)but..., I DO think, the new Genesis(sedan and, coupe)and, Eclipse are very nice! I can admit..., I'd choose the Genesis over, the Avalon and, Accord, anyday. Lol.. As far as, German automobiles..., I couldn't agree with you more! I LOVE Audi, out of the three! I love Jaguar, also. I kinda like Volvo, too. ;-)
@MrJy93 Your point is?
i love ford (:, beatiful, and full of quality
I love my 2012 edge very confortable good highxay car
I think very similarly to you. I think that American cars have and deserve just as much potential as German cars. People only pretend to like Mercedes and BMW over Cadillac and Lincoln cause Mercedes and BMW are "well-known", cause of the prominence, the badge, the "Guess what! In your face! I'm drivin' a Mercedes!" Cadillac STS > Mercedes E-Class. Cadillac Escalade > Mercedes GL450. Lincoln MKX > Mercedes ML. Lincoln Navigator > Mercedes GL450. Lincoln > Mercedes. Cadillac > Mercedes. AMERICA!
The ford edge is not that ugly, I mean the rear lights aren't... You're thinking of the front head lamps that are ugly.
Yeah. That's true with it compared to average full-sized sadans...but, questionable against luxury full-sized sedans. It have enough to compete, though! I'm sorry..., I meant, the TiburonGT instead of, Eclispe! Lol.. ;-)
I don't like Hyundai very much. I mean Hyundai pwns the Mercedes GL450, but the cars are just low-quality - not great gas mileage, bad ride quality, not great handling, atrocious acceleration, etc. What are your thoughts?
The only German car company that I am REALLY fond of is Audi. They are less-expensive, more fuel-efficient alternatives to BMW's. I love that Audi A8 W12 - it's a $132,000 Bentley (as opposed to $175,000+). And the Audi TT gets 31mpg and is very sporty.. love it.
Lol.. $37k??? Now, that's a little steap! Believe it or, not! It was a reason why, the Linc. TownCar was over $40k.. The TownCar is LOADED with luxury features...but, most people wouldn't know because, their always being driven around in it. Linc. may not have been known for great hp....but, they're definitely known for luxury, class and, elegance! ;-)
Essentially, I find the Hyundai Genesis to be somewhere between the Ford Taurus and the Volvo S80. I forgot to tell you that I also like Volvos. My mother, at 47, drives a Volvo XC90, the $50,000 V8. She absolutely loves it. It's super luxurious, powerful, and roomy. But I won't brag. I drive an 03 Tiburon (not the GT). It's slow, but its look and handling are satisfactory/decent. I just started driving like a month ago, and we bought it for like $5800.. hella good deal, you have to admit.
(continued)
Don't get me wrong..., foreign vehicles are very good, also...but, my first choice will always be one of the D's big three(mainly Ford), no question! ;-) Now, as far as, the Lincoln TownCar goes..., I can't fib.. It was sort of a disappointment...but, it's only with the design. As far as, the drivetrain and, luxury of the car..., I'd say, it was definitely a sleeper! Evendoe, I wished, Linc. should've atleast gave the 5.4l a try before, dismissing it from the lineup! ;-)
@stewiegriffin045 that may be a newer model
I'll reply to it, can't wait to see your comment!
@stewiegriffin045 it might have become an option made available in a year after this video was made
I just think that the Cadillac DTS destroys the Lincoln Town Car. Its interior is far more luxurious, it has more power, and it looks a little cooler. I think the DTS should be $50,000-$55,000 while the Town Car should stay down somewhere between $37,000 and $42,000.
True! That's how, you'll know, most people in this world are just plain American biased, in general! The Caddy Escalade is a VERY spectacular SUV(the Linc. Navi. will be, also when, it get's it's 6.2 400+hp. Boss engine)but, the critics still vote the Merc.-Benz GL over it(for some GOD knows reason)! That's ok. The Caddy Escalade still won, best large lux. SUV of the year! ;-)
I like that car
@KlipschHead281 actually i hate to admit it but you have a point. im still a toyota fan for now, but if the overall quality starts to fall then it might be time for something else. that being said, i have a 99 toyota and it has never broken down even once. and i have a buddy with a 99 explorer and hes never had a problem either. so if i had to buy american, it would be a ford. i think we can both agree that dae woo should be avoided.
Nac Mac Feegle exec"
Nac Mac Feegle tyww
So, how do you feel about Hyundai? ;-)
Now only if my Bentley had this much room .... Bentley Continental FTW although I always liked big vehicles....
Yea, the MKZ is underrated. I don't like how people turn down Lincoln. They seem like decent luxury cars. People refuse to respect or support Cadillacs and Lincolns cause they're American cars.. That's like hating black people cause they're black. American cars have decent engineering, and Cadillacs are good buys. The Lincoln Town Car REALLY disappoints me, and I'd much rather take a Cadillac DTS, but all the other Lincolns are respectable vehicles.
The GL450 would be 100% in my standards if it was sold with an MSRP of $55,000. But $62,000 for that piece of crap with no standard power liftgate, no standard memory system, no standard cooled front seats, no standard tri-zone climate controls, no standard tri-zone climate controls, 335 horsepower, 4.7 liters... THAT is a waste of money. The Escalade has:
1. More power
2. Faster (0-60mph takes 0.4 seconds less)
3. More standard features
4. Better fuel economy
ANY way you can go wrong? No!
ok thank u dude.
Yep.
Tahoe + Luxury = Escalade
Murano + Luxury = FX
Armada + Luxury = QX56
Rogue + Luxury = EX
Sequoia + Luxury = Land Cruiser and LX570
Civic + Luxury = TSX
Accord + Luxury = TL and RL
Expedition + Luxury = Navigator
F150 + Luxury = Mark LT
Passat + Luxury = A6
How about massaging seats in the DTS at $50,000? Even the $90,000 S-Class doesn't have standard massage!!
Same goes for the Nissan and, Infiniti! Nissan Muarano+luxury=Infinity FX. ;-)
I’m getting this car soon
@tobearockstar0706 um but we live in the year 2010. Hyundai is the new Toyota.
2011 Sonata.
I think so.
@KlipschHead281 No its really 74% then as of now maybe 69%.
@newdriverspermit How funny, me too! Although I'm going to drive either a 1997 Volvo 960 or a 1999 Volvo V70 XC AWD.
Lol.. True! That's exactly what, the GL. looks like..., a oversized minivan! No to take up for the GL....but, it is luxurious but, that's because, it's a Merc.-Benz. With that being said...overall, I'll still vote for GM's Escalade. It's just a better truck, overall than, the GL.! For the GL. to be considered a large SUV..., it's towing and, payload is HORRIBLE!
ucoocho you think the edge is a horrible car its the crossover with the most room and it looks better then anyother crossover and comes in sport with body kit
Kia telluride or kia sorento rivals
Mazda has a ford badge!
@stig1893 well no shit its a vehicle for a soccer mom not for jeeping it up the river down the rocky valley side thats like saying my porche outran my buddies ford fiesta" noshit duh!
one common reason for kelly brook reviews SUCKS SUCKS is they never give the FUEL ECONOMY RATINGS.
Lol.. True. The only thing, that truck have is, it's hyped-up name! I'd say, within' the next 3 to 5 years..., people will start to see, the true qualities of Cadillac and, Lincoln. ;-)
Exactly. You know what I think? I think gayass soccer moms can drive big GL450's and say, "It's better than the Escalade! It's more efficient than the Escalade! It's more luxurious than the Escalade!" all of those facts are completely false. They can choose to waste their money, or they can get the best value for their money and take an Escalade - 403hp 6.2 liter V8, standard power liftgate, standard tri-zone climate controls, 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds, standard heated 2nd-row seats, etc. etc. etc.
You'll see. ;-)
@rkjpsn right, won't buy because of something Ford built back in the 1970's but you'll buy from Toyota that has issues NOW. Smart, real smart, I'll stick with Ford, none of them are racing out of control.
Hey lamyaty, FORD stands for FIRST ON RACE DAY!, Remember that. ;)
why alaways in kbb reviews girls drive
@jaffacake1578 , 99% of Toyota's are NOT still on the road, you can't just make this shit up as you go you know.
@hansen71199 or go with ford that made the legendary pinto. id have a toyota any day.
no Found On Road Driving, did you know 99 percent of toyotas are still on the road?! the remaining 1% just about made it back
i don't get city slickers and their crossovers. a "truck" on a car frame what stupidity.
You mean, F.or O.nly R.eal D.rivers! ;-)
Lincoln MKX - Luxury = Ford Edge
Fords logo looks like Jord
Lol.. Being sarcastic, huh? You must haven't seen the features that, the 2008 1/2 Linc. TownCar offered(fully loaded signature or, executive series). ;-)
I was just kidding! Jeez! You're so rude!
Too bad many of those cars were probably built in Canada or Mexico :)
Go toyota?
Ya they sure can go but they wont stop once they get going haha
@rkjpsn legendary 4 what killing ton of poeple exploding gas tanks
Ford Edge compete with Mazda cx-9 Kia Sorento
Yeah, I know that! I just hate the Ford Edge. Plus the front headlamps of the Ford Edge look just like s**t! I like other cars, though. I like the Chevrolet Suburban, the GMC Yukon XL and the Cadillac Escalade ESV.
@Mark Godfrey lol
NO thank,,,
i dont like this car
good hahaha
Go toyota!
So you mean your parents own the car, and you get to sit in the back all day.
And Ford did demand help from governments, they threatened to shut down plants in Canada and Germany if they didn't offer state-subsidized sales incentives to consumers who bought Ford vehicles. A much more responsible way of asking for assistance, but a bailout nonetheless.
I never had a Ford in my lifetime
Are they dependable or a problem.
Ya n it realy does look "sick"! LOL!
LMAO i feel so bad for my friend i told him to save his money so when he turns 16 he can get a decent car he didnt listen now hes gnna drive his moms ford edge lol
Quantum what's wrong with that?
Well a ford edge is nice... so good for him..
Plus the V6 would be peppier that what your going to get now. The Edge now has 300 HP in the 2020 I4 engine option! The vehicle would be reliable than what you think.
Those seats look horrible.......
Lol.. I can agree with that.
@fordsucksGOHONDA rofl that so true from any ford from 1985-present day my sis bought a new 2010 tuarus its in the shop for the second time>! FORD SUCKS!!!
You're getting old!
