I can't agree with you more. Also about the seats. If they think the seats are hard and uncomfortable, they should drive my wife's 06 Impala.

Check out the latest article in C&D. They rated 4 2008's and a 2009 Murano: 1. Murano 2. Sante Fe 3. Edge 4. Mazda cx-7 5. Dodge Journey Some things they liked about the Edge: High driver's eye point Easy manuvering The interior(Bright and roomy) Some of the the lows: Ride is harsh Gritty-sounding engine Noticeable road noise Leather seats hard I don't agree with a lot of this but it is interesting.

07 SEL Smooth as a baby's butt.

Your Ford dealer has a rearview mirror with outside temp and compass. I don't know the cost, but its worth looking into.

Here in missouri they titled mine as "UTILITY".

I have the vent shades and they make little difference. There is still alot of noise if you have the back windows all the way down.

I think people should remember the months also. The owners manual says 6 mo or 7500 miles. I put only 4000 or so miles in 6 months. Some might put alot less than that. I am old enough to remember 2000 mile oil changes. Seemed like you changed oil every time you turned around.

My 07 SEL+ sounds the same. It goes away after awhile. Hope its nothing to worry about.

I have an 07 SEL+ with the temp and compass. I thought those are standard on the SEL+. If I had a SE I would look at the Ford dealer installed mirror with compass. Might be a little pricey.

2007 SEL+ Since Dec 07 3300 Miles No problems so far. Great car!

I got a similar deal, only it was on a 2007. I highly recommend the Limited instead of the SE. Didn't think I needed all the extras, but I sure am glad I got them. I consider the higher price money well spent.

Welcome to the club. Just one question. I thought the 07s and 08s were basically the same cars. How can you have a blind spot on the 07 but not the 08? Anyway, hope you enjoy your Edge!!

Sorry to hear of all the problems you"ve had. I have had ZERO so far and just love this car. Hopefully all your problems will be taken care of. I don't blame you for being pizzed. A new car should almost be trouble free.

Do you have"front wheel drive". If so you would be the first FWD on this board to have that problem, I think. Every car with this problem seems to be AWD. Now I'm getting nervous about mine!!

2007 SEL+ 2500 mi I have been getting 19mpg mixed driving so far. I check it the old fashon way each fillup and the computer has been right on the money also. I have seen numbers high and low but if I was getting 10-12 I would think something is wrong.

There was another thread on this board about the dark cladding being hard to keep 'new looking." Someone suggested Turtle Wax Ice so I tried it. It works great! Doesn't turn chalky the next day and you can use it on just about anything but glass.

Very nice! I have an 07 Edge of the same color. Doesn't show dirt like the dark colors. I have 2500 miles with ZERO problems so far. Good luck with yours.

Welcome to the family. Oh, and if you spend very much time behind the wheel of the EDGE, you might just throw your "baby" out with the wash.

I also have the same noise, 07 SEL+. After reading this thread and others I'm now convinced its rust on the rotors. The last time I was at the dealers lot, I looked at some of the new cars and suvs' rotors. Most of them had noticable rust on them. Some looked like they were painted orange, while others looked normal.

I have been a GM guy all my life, I'm 58. That is until I bought a 2007 SEL+. I now have 1600 miles on it with zero complaints. I cant wait to drive it. Almost makes me feel like a kid again. Hope the feeling continues. Good luck

My plan says I get 3 oil changes in 2 years. I can get them at any mileage I like. I plan on getting the first one at 3000 because the car will be 6 months old then. After that I'll play it by ear.

Pewter Met I wanted a 2007 because of the great deal the dealer was offering. Had about 10 SEL's to choose from. The Pewter was the closest to what I wanted. I traded in a 2001 Chevy Blazer and, you guessed it, my chevy was a pewter also. However the Edge is a darker pewter which I think looks great with the "crome" wheels, and it doesn't show dirt like a dark one. I will admit though, there is nothing better looking than a shiney black car.

Went to my dealer yesterday. They said the other dealer service guy was just being a jerk. All he had to do was put my name in the computer and it would have told him about my plan. I'll have a chat with him soon.

I am in the same boat. Went to the dealer near my home,(not the one I bought the car from), to ask about oil change intervals and such. They said "depends on your plan". I'm going to call the dealer tommorow and find out whats up. I too received no paperwork, which was my fault for not asking. But when you have "new car fever" it's hard to remember everything.

I do not need AWD for a number of reason, HOWEVER: Our economy is built to sell things to people that they don't really "need". The list would be absolutly endless.
