Im really impressed on how informative your videos are and how easy they are to understand for even the common buyer. Great review.

Ugh...Dang it Alex! You make me want to buy all the cars because of your reviews! Your car review channel is exceptional. Keep up the good work!

Just bought the Edge Titanium and have to wait a few days until it arrives from upstate and your video has really given me a sense of confidence that I made the right choice! Thanks for posting!

i have viewed a couple of your car reviews and love the detail of them..well done!

My mother rented a 2018 Edge titanium back in December 2017 with the option group 301A. Five months later, the transmission failed on her '04 explorer; however, she bought a 2017 Edge titanium 300A ("00" means base) that was a former rental vehicle in late may 2018. It has lots of room, high-quality materials and no Vista roof.

Excellent. Thanks Alex. I got all my answers as usual...looking forward to more of your reviews.

This is one of the FEW reviews I've seen of the 2.0t and wow, was it a great review! Made me feel a lot more confident about the 2018 model I just bought 😁

Your reviews are some of the best, thanks a lot!

Love your reviews, keep up the good work!

Loved the review. No surprise as I depend on and enjoy your weekly reviews. However, I do have a few issues...or questions. First...what about the back corner/side vision? Like you I find the Nissan designs over the top. But this is especially because I hate poor or difficult corner glances for lane changes. How was this car's views? Second...I think, as I found while driving the VW Touareg, the screen location is to low in the Nissan. This forced me to have difficulty backing up and having to keep working up and down, afraid I was missing something both ways. I like Ford keeping the screen high so your glances between window, mirrors and back up camera all easy.

Love mine roomy 2 row way to go.

would like to see you add safety as a comparison category.

Really enjoy your videos, please what is your opinion regarding these 3 SUVs i am looking to buy; 2012 Lexus RX 350, 2015 Ford Edge, 2016 Kia Sorento; when you consider cost, maintenance, and driving in locations where the roads are bad and flooded. Awaiting your views and explanations

Paulose54 I like the Ford V6 better but the Grand Cherokee's ZF 8-Speed automatic is by far the better transmission. The chassis of the Ford is tighter and its lower to the ground but you have less room to add wider after market tires than you do on the Jeep. I'd probably get the Ford as long as your towing and off road requirements are low.

Could you do a review of the hyundai accent hatchback? Or at least a child seat review?

I saw your 2016/2017 Escape review and had to come back to review your comments on fuel economy on the Edge. The Escape actually seemed to get worse mileage than the Edge with the same 2.0L Turbo engine. That doesn't make sense, since the Edge is a larger vehicle. What's up with that? I was impressed to hear the mileage is so good in highway driving, which is what I hope to be doing more of in the next few years (although a hybrid version would be very welcome for my city driving). Although the mileage takes a bit of a hit in the Edge, I want a more comfortable drive for long trips, so the Edge seems to "edge out" the Escape.

Any plans to review the MKX? Would like to know your thoughts on how different they are.

Alex I noticed several of the Ford Edge 2018 model year and also 2017 year have moisture inside of the head lamps and tail lights . I just purchased a 2018.

Have you heard anything about this problem ? I have contacted the dealer to make them aware of the problems. Thanks and enjoy your videos. Tom

Hey Alex. Great reviews. I am curious if you found an appreciable amount of difference in comfort between the titanium seats vs. those in the SEL? I am torn between the two models, and leaning toward the titanium for the seats, as well as the standard assisted trunk. P.S. I am only looking at 2016's due to the SYNC 3/Apple Play functionality

Alex, it'd be nice to hear comments on steering feel in the handling segment. The Santa Fe sport is said to be pretty numb and disconnected. This makes sweeping turns annoying and imprecise.

Looking into getting the standard V6 version of this. (Unless I get lucky and fine a used sport with the 2.7 lol)

Regarding that front grill, I completely agree Alex. It definitely has some Hyundai resemblance there.

I really enjoyed your review. My wife and I are considering a Ford Edge purchase sometime next year when the 2016 models are out. What do you think are areas that Ford should improve on with the next model Ford Edge? I personally wish they could improve combined gas mileage. I realize that's difficult, but would make my buying decision much easier as I commute about 30 miles 3 times a week in highway traffic that can be stop and go (Washington DC area highway traffic).

Rodney Garner I would like to see their new transmissions (9 speeds are rumoured) and their anti-fatigue system adapted to the front seats.

I've heard about coolant intrusion into the 2.0L ecoboost engines and I've also seen that Ford continues to offer this SUV equipped with the (optional) 3.5L V6 with the notorious internal water pump that is very expensive to replace. Only the ST model seems to be the most reliable with the 2.7L ecoboost V6. I was about to get an SEL with the 2.0L ecoboost, but because of the coolant intrusion I better go with a car equipped with a reliable basic engine as the 2.5L naturally aspirated found in the Ford Fusion and Ford Escape. They are slow but reliable. Fusion and Escape 2015 2017-up Very reliable years. 2010-2012 2.5L and 3.0L V6 rock solid engines.

Thank you very much for your top notch reviews, absolutely nothing compares. Based mostly on your reviews, our SUV shopping got narrowed to two options! A Loaded 2016 Ford Edge Titanium or an Acura MDX with Nav package. We do care most about: Quiet cabin, Comfortable ride, dependability and long term ownership costs and last but not least that extra seating row. This list was in order of importance. Due to our Canadian dollar pricing, the two options are very close in price, obviously the ford has a bit more tech stuff and a more modern infotainment system, but the MDX has, hopefully, the peace of mind our current Accord has. Which would you pick? Or is there a third option we missed?

Do all three types of engine use the 93 octane fuel? or only the 2.7 turbo engine? anyone know?

While I do think that the Ford Fusion and 2015 Ford Explorer rip straight from Aston Martin and Range Rover respectively I think the new Edge's resemblance of the Hyundai Sante Fe is really just a coincidence. When I saw the front of the new Edge I thought it looked a lot like the Taurus. And the Taurus has had this similar look for 4-5 years now I think.

Great review. Only thing I would do is change the description from saying refresh. This isn't a refresh, this is an all new model of the ford edge. It shares almost nothing with the predecessor, the only thing really being the mid level engine the 3.5l v6. The 2.0 ecoboost is the all new version of this engine, and the 2.7l ecoboost is new as well. The chassis and body work share nothing with its predecessor as well.

You've done an excellent job "selling" this Ford Edge. Certainly better than that silly Ford commercial showing a professional woman driving around downtown Vancouver blowing through red lights, with the tagline "The Unstoppable Ford Edge". Ironic, since the previous Edge was known for long breaking distances. Did you have a 60-0 distance? This seems like a vast improvement over the prior version, and a very competitive choice. I own it's old sister car, the Mazda CX-7. Did you ever review a CX-7? What are your quick thoughts about that? Rumor has it that Mazda might revive it as a 3-row crossover.

I have one.. My thoughts after owning this for a while is that at the end of it's lease it is going back. Blind spots in both front corners (where window pillars are), as well as tall fenders make for uncomfortable turning. Seat shape is uncomfortable on long trips, the rounded edge makes backs of legs uncomfortable. Also a big future problem is that the way the door bottoms wrap under, they create a ledge (L'Edge haha) that collects road dirt and salt. I see this as a potential area for rot! Add to this all the things I've read about Eco Boost engine problems with carbon build up etc.. fuel ecomomy on this car is awful!. I have a Chrysler Town and Country van with the large V6 that when compared side by side to the edge on the same trip far outshine the Edge in fuel economy. This car is on my don't keep list! I have been a Ford Customer for many years, they have let me down on the last few vehicles.
