My wife and I are the proud owners of a 2008 SE in Black with tan cloth interior. :D To make a long story short, my wife's Neon bit the dust and it died at the Ford Dealer where we wound up buying the Edge. We almost went with a Vapor Silver but went with the Black SE we have now. Looks like my weekends will be spent keeping that baby clean.

What was your experience like buying from them? That is where we are getting our Edge from.

My wife is looking at an Edge and we are going X Plan for ours. I am insistent that my car is built so that the only miles put on it are ours. Additionally, I am not allowing the dealer to detail our Edge because I don't want to have to pull a DMX if I see one single swirlmark they put on it. Additionnally, I won't even allow them to put their protectant on it because I have enough Klasse to polish and glaze a Kenworth W900 with a 53' trailer...seriously.

Being a person who owned a 2002 Maxima SE that chipped if you looked at it the wrong way, I am wondering what other areas are prone to chipping?

We both loved the Limited we had except she didn't like the color (Ice Blue). She wants a black one. I am thinking about White Sand with a charcoal interior.

That's my exact method but will add a carnauba to top the whole thing off.

Having driven both an Edge and a GM Lambda based CUV (Acadia/Enclave/Outlook), I definitely prefer the Edge. While the Acadia I drove was a pretty nice vehicle in its own right, the Edge actually trumps it hands down. The first thing is the performance of the Lambda based crossovers is not that strong. The acceleration was quite tepid (similar to a CUV with a CVT) and I need acceleration for traffic in AZ. The other thing I noticed with the Acadia is that it wasn't as quiet as the Edge. Finally, the major thing about the Acadia was the price. The SLT I drove cost almost as much as a Yukon. I am sure the Enclave hits for almost as much as a Denali.

Hello, all. I happened across this forum in a search for a Ford Edge forum to discuss issues, etc with these vehicles. My wife is in the market for a 2008 SEL Plus w/Sync and the Vista Roof. We test drove a Limited and absolutely LOVED it. Being a person in IT, I loved the Sync and the Nav system. BTW, I am one that will ask questions which means I hope you don't mind me peppering you with them.
