My wife and I are wanting to go back into a 4 door vehicle. We currently own a 2006 F-150 FX4 SuperCrew and a 2003 Mustang GT. The Mustang needs to go since I have a 4yr old and she doesn't have much leg room.
Basically I'm either going to buy a 08+ Mustang GT or a 09 Edge. If the Edge is problematic, I'll "settle" for another GT and the kid can ride in my 4 door truck. I've priced out a loaded Edge with the options I want for about $35k vs. a Mustang loaded for $32k. The prices are pretty close, but now it comes down to how much effort I'm going to have to expend. And frankly, I'm pretty dang lazy. So I want the least problematic Ford I can find.
Anyways, my question is: How is the Edge after its release? Are they good vehicles with few issues? I'm looking to avoid 1st year production issues and I'm interested in finding out any and all issues the Edge has.
Also, how does that bigger V-6 and 6 speed do for the MPG department? It would be nice to at least have one vehicle that got closer to 20 mpg.
sorry for the long post and many questions. thanks for the inputs in advance
