I live in Canada and have had my Edge (2011 SEL, V6, MFT) since October 2010 and have just crossed the 40,000 km threshold. Overall, I've been very satisfied with the ride, handling, comfort, etc. My primary complaint about the car is the MyFordTouch system. The lag time from starting the car to having a working audio system or phone access is typically several minutes. If I decide to make a phone call (iPhone 4) too soon, the MFT systems ends up stuck in the "Listening" mode. Very annoying. The audio system sounds quite good, but will often randomly roam around from what I was previously playing the last time I was in the car (usually a 64 GB USB Drive with music) to the radio or an SD Card with music -- something other than defaulting to what I was previously listening to. My Edge is a great car on the highway, and I typically average between 7.6 - 8.0 litres/100 kilometres if I'm driving 110 km/h or less. In the city, mileage declines drastically - usually in the 13-14 litres/100 kilometre range. It can be worse in very cold weather. I was encouraged to take the Entry Convenience Package (car unlocks as you lift the handle, push button start, etc.) and it is my favourite feature by far. I virtually never have to take my keys out of my pocket. It would be hard to go back to a key again. Highly recommend it! I wanted a roof rack which, unfortunately, meant no sunroof. It would be nice if the design would allow you to have both. Unless I have some disasterous mechanical issues with my Edge, I'll seriously consider getting another when my lease is up. I'm a fan.
