+Driven Car Reviews haha sorry about that... I've been trying to change my name and everything (did this after a night of drinking... Huge facepalm) but google says I've done it too much lately.... Anyway.. Great review like always!
This car in this exact same color is on my list when I buy my next car in 13 months or so. I hear good things about this new 2.7 and it is a bargain as $45k buy you so much stuff. The upcoming Fusion Sport is also on the list.
Our 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee was bought back by Chrysler a few months after we bought it. It was plagued by electrical gremlins that couldn't be sorted out. Total horror show. However, my wife and I were still somehow totally smitten with the vehicle itself. Almost got another, when a friend who also had his bought back got another and got another bad one, so we opted for the totally safe (and cargo-roomy) bet of the CR-V, which we pretty much hate to drive, but which has given us 30K trouble-free miles so far. It's a decent car, just uncomfortable seating for me on a long trip, and not fun to drive at all. I cross-shopped the Edge with the GC back then, but at the time the MPG's weren't good, the design was ancient, and as I recall, it didn't have many features available on the GC. We can't wait to be done with the lease on the CR-V and try another GC, but your review has given me something to think about. We will definitely give the new Edge a look before going back to the Jeep dealer. If it drives as nicely and is as comfortable and luxurious inside as our GC was, we might give the Ford a shot. I'm still leery of Jeep quality control. It's kind of sad, because I still own a 2002 Wrangler and it's the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Thanks for your review...
+Aaron Clow (AMC4x4) I understand, the GC is a very appealing vehicle. But as I always say- test drive, test drive, test drive. There's much to like out there, it pays to look hard.
+Calif424 Their quality was hell before that. :) I know Driven says test drive test drive test drive, but the issue is that my wife drives the family car. I only drive on long trips. You can't generally test drive a car for two or three hours and see how it feels on your back, hips, shoulders, etc. I used to just buy Saabs because they "fit" me perfectly. I will definitely check out the Edge, but I will be very very surprised if we walk away with one instead of a GC. But we will try to keep an open mind!
I think this a a cool looking car, although my brother said (when the Edge first came out back in 2006 )that the shape of the car looked like it was on the assembly line that got backed up and it spit out a ball of metal...lol I actually like it's cousin the new Lincoln MKX I'd buy that instead. I will miss the Toyota Camry base crossover Venza but definitely not that ugly Honda Accord base Crosstour that most people love. I'd take this Edge over that any day.
How does this compare to a GMC terrain? I am a ford guy, but i can't keep up with the payments of my truck F150, due to the bad economy in Alberta,Canada and now I have to downsize. That's why I am asking?
I have this model and color, love it to death always getting compliments on the bold color
Lynda, do you have the Sport edition of the Edge, if so, nice! 😊
Lynda Hill its very classy yet also very unique! I love the rims as well. I hope you love your edge!! Should I buy one?
You're welcome Mr. Voelk. You're among the best motor vehicle reviewers out there. MB
By far my favorite car reviewer.
Great job on your video. Love your reviews. I always watch to the very end too.
+ShermanMR2 You're in the "smarter than the average bear" column then
I'm really not a ford person but this looks really nice!! Even the color is nice.
+Ronald f-ing mcdonalds Yup, people like the looks. By the looks of your photo Ronald, you've been eating too much of your food.
+Driven Car Reviews haha sorry about that... I've been trying to change my name and everything (did this after a night of drinking... Huge facepalm) but google says I've done it too much lately.... Anyway.. Great review like always!
+Driven Car Reviews oh and it's based oh the Ronald Macdonald spoofs on the channel rackaracka :)
My bro in law drives one of these Edge Sports and he loves it, as do I. This is my FAV design of the Ford Edge
Tom, i love your videos. I've been watching since 2008! You're still one of my favorite car reviewers. Keep it up man :)
+bigwillchill Thanks bigwillchill!
I always check for Tom's review of a car I'm interested in.
Yep killin time until my '16 is built. Oh and yes I ordered my '16 Edge Sport in that polarizing "Nuclear Butterscotch" with the 21-in wheels.

+Ray Maiden Enjoy! Great paint, glad that Ford offers some daring hues.
I actually quite like how this looks, though it does look a little fat (and as you said, the interior is wide - the Explorer has the same problem).
Hello nice review very nice review JP here from Miami Florida my question is is there been any recalls on this vehicle thank you
+Juan Paulo Sorry for the late reply. According to NHTSA, there are currently no recalls on Edge.

+Aaron Clow (AMC4x4) When Fiat took over, quality went to hell. I own an edge sport and its a very nice suv, way more fun to drive than a GC.

Ford does a great job with their vehicles. I Like the design of this
I wonder if they will ever bring the explorer to the UK??
Very good review, Very nice car! Is it comming to Europe?
+Lars zangenberg Don't know Lars. My guess would be no.
+Driven Car Reviews Damn. You always get the coolest cars😄
+Lars zangenberg Actually it is coming to Europe. The previous generation didn't, but this does. It will even have a 2.0 liter diesel with 210 HP.
Ok. Looking forward to it, tough it'll probaly be real ekspensive over here. We pay 180% tax in cars making them almost tripple the price 😠
Tom, don't forget Flex for another 3 row crossover with a Blue Oval badge. Ford markets the Explorer as an SUV. (They do that with Escape as well ).
True. And my brother owns a Flex. I should be ashamed...
+Driven Car Reviews
No shame. At least that "evil twin " does not own a Flex.
+Driven Car Reviews
Rumor has it that Ford may ax
Flex after the '17 model year.
That wouldn't surprise me. It's a cool vehicle but it's been around for awhile now and they don't sell the way Explorer does.My brother loves his.
+Driven Car Reviews
The good brother, not that "evil" one.
I'm not bored, I'm just procrastinating...
+Jarl Ballin' ...I didn't think about that option.
+Driven Car Reviews well I am ambivalent...
thanks for all the hard work!
love your reviews
The Folks at Ford designed the hell out of this car and to beautiful effect. Would pair nicely with a Fusion side by side.
Great work, Tom!
Bravo, Tom!
I love this guys hair. No homo!

He dropped the toddler so nonchalantly at 4:21!
What is the ground clearance on the Edge Sport? I can't seem to find out this information anywhere. Thanks!
+Garred34 The specs for Edge say 7.9 inches. Sport may be slightly lower but there is no published difference that I can find quickly.
Thank you so much for the quick response. Surprising that it doesn't have as much as an Outback, which states it has 8.6
Tom, in regards of that "nuclear butterscotch" paintjob? Ford calls it, "Electric Spice".
I prefer nuclear butterscotch.
How does this compare to a GMC terrain? I am a ford guy, but i can't keep up with the payments of my truck F150, due to the bad economy in Alberta,Canada and now I have to downsize. That's why I am asking?
How’s the longevity and resale value?
The ending of this video was amusing and depressing at the same time
hyundai tucson pls
Where is the Honda Pilot?
+fahed1991 Honda Pilot is considered a SUV. Edge is a mid-sized crossover.
350ib ft torque that's insane! It would beat my 370z to 60!
5:51 haha true but I always enjoy these thanks
I've used to have a 370z. I recently purchased a cpo Edge Sport, and it sure is fast!
Did the iSync screen bend when you pressed it (@3:33)? Technologically advanced but ugly and boring. Good review TV.
+Ryan It did not bend Ryan
Stop dissing your viewers, just stick to “thanks for watching “ at the end
Yawn. Another boring crossover. A Fusion wagon would be better. And I could go through that mud in my civic.
