A surround view system would still be preferable. The sensors do respond slowly so you have to park slowly for them to be effective. However, the cameras (front and rear) and the 12 parking sensors are a tremendous aid once you get used to them. The vehicle is very wide, the steering radius is quite large, and the front hood makes it difficult to judge where the front of the vehicle is. The dash display with two color graphical displays surrounding the speedometer, and the Sync 3 system is very responsive (touch sensitive). (7) All the gadgets are great (blind spot, rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise, lane keeping assist, Apple carplay, hands-free liftgate, automatic parallel and perpendicular parking). It has way more room than compact SUV's but is still small enough for easy entry and for fitting in a small garage. (6) There is a great deal of cargo space and room for rear passengers. There is a little road noise over some surfaces. (5) The vehicle is very quiet with little engine or wind noise. Also, she has to duck her head to get in the sedan. Conversely, sedans also give her problems because she sits too low so she has a difficult time getting out of the seat. My arthritic mother with bad knees and hips has a difficult time climbing into many medium size SUV's but has no problems getting in and out of the Edge. (4) The seats are a perfect height and the step in height is low. The acceleration, especially in sports mode, is effortless and makes it easy to move in and out of traffic at any speed (3) The panoramic sunroof and power sun shades are gorgeous and really brighten things up. (2) It is a very fast vehicle, easily below 6 seconds in the 0 to 60 measurement.

Things I like: (1) the sport appearance is fantastic, especially in black with black painted 21 inch wheels. The interior refinement is not as good as I would have liked but it is good for the price. Everything works as advertised and the vehicle has a lot of thoughful convenience touches. I got a fully loaded Sport with pretty much with every possible option.Īfter 6 months, I am fairly pleased with the car.

Additional car show incentives and being the last day of the month also helped. I received a substantial discount from the MSRP from the dealer. With the new ST months away from release, the Ford dealers are aggressively pricing the sport so it's a great time to buy.
