Life saver

I bought my 08 ford edge sel used. I did tune up first week of ownership and regular maintenence as scheduled. Always reliable and comfortable. Only complaint is back interior. The light in the trunk was always covered as I always had stuff in trunk and back window did not open separate from trunk door like other suvs. Unfortunately after 7 years and 100000 miles plus from me I became unconscious while driving and destroyed her. She saved me though. Impressive safety in crash. Definitely would buy again

Better than most American compact SUVs

This a reasonable compact SUV. I bought it very cheap used as I just had moved to Saudi Arabia and I didn't have enough funds to buy new. Been quite reliable. There are few things that need to be looked out for: 1. Water pump: It is internal to engine so if it leaks coolant mixes with oil and can destroy engine. Sulution: Regular change of coolant tends to prevent premature failure. 2. PTU for AWD vehicles. That is another design blunder. They made it sealed but the oil inside actually boils up and destroys the unit. Solution: See YouTube videos and drain and refill yourself. 3. OSS/TSS are sensors for transmission. They fail early and need to be replaced along with solenoid. Transmission itself is solid. 4. Spark plugs and coils need to be changed at around 80-100k miles. They can fry the PCM if not done so timely.

Safest vehicle I have ever owned

This car met all of my needs. I has plenty of space, safe and is very reliable. It gets around amazing in the snow, we called it our snow cat.

Best motor Ford ever made

Best motor Ford ever made,,I have almost 250,000 miles on my Ford edge. It has never left me stranded it has never bothered me down obvious repairs due to the age of the vehicle or to be expected but at 250,000 miles it’s still keeps up with his newer counterparts..

Great SUV

This vehicle is the perfect package. It’s size is perfect for my 5 medium-large size dogs. The seats fold down and make a big cargo area for the dogs to spread out in. The vehicle is very reliable. I haven’t had any type of extra maintenance to do on it besides the usual maintenance required every so many miles. The gas mileage isn’t the best on the market but it’s decent and doable for the size of vehicle. I couldn’t be more happy with my Ford Edge. I’ve driven several SUVs and nothing compares to this one.
