howdy edge owners!
i bought my 2011 edge sport over memorial day weekend. i had been eyeballing the edge and the venza for possible purchase next year, but due to an unfortunate accident over mother's day weekend (not my fault...the lady cut me off...aaaaargh!!!), i was all of a sudden in the market. my previous car was a 1999 nissan altima SE, fire engine red, only 106k miles, immaculate condition... (i miss my car... ) i should also mention all three of my vehicles have been nissans, and i'd never been a huge fan of american cars. but...something about that 2011 edge caught my eye.
so...a couple of weekends after the accident, my wonderful boyfriend suggested we go test drive some cars. as i mentioned, i had already been eyeballing the two cars, so i researched them a little more after the accident. when i saw the edge sport online, i was pretty sure i'd found my next car. we went to the ford dealership first, and i drove the edge limited...and FELL IN LOVE!!! i loved how it handled and i was very comfy in the driver's seat. i was mostly impressed with all the bells and whistles...and the vista panoramic roof is OFF THA CHAIN!! next we went to drive the venza...and i swear it was like driving a lexus and then driving a pinto!! the venza had NOTHING on the edge...and they were the same price!! no bells and whistles...and it just didn't handle the same. i then called several dealerships in virginia (and one in NC) to help me track down the edge sport in red candy (had to have those 22" black and alloy wheels!) i finally found it in hampton and became a new ford owner memorial day weekend!
i absolutely LOVE MY NEW EDGE!! it is sooooo sharp, and i consistently get compliments and inquiries everywhere i go (especially at the costco gas station...happens every time i gas up!) i even get double-takes from other edge drivers...those 22" wheels, black grill, and the red paint are truly eye-catching! "they" say everything happens for a reason...and although i wasn't planning on (ever) letting my other car go, there's a reason why i lost it and i have this edge now.
