Counting on the dealer to know all the info? Surely you jest. And yes, I called you Shirley. (Movie anyone?) I would think that the upgraded rear bar, shock and spring adjustment would be the "sport suspension." Too bad they didn't upgrade the front sway bar too.

Absolutely hysterical! I love the 3rd vignette (sorry ladies, but that is just laugh-out-loud funny). http://jalopnik.com/cars/ad-watch/life-lik...p?autoplay=true

REAL fuel-mileage numbers? Not WAGd by the computer?
Good_Hands replied to jeffreybehr's topic in All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Ahhh...Now I see. I do like those BAMR open, music on loud, smell-of-the-night-air drives. Did that in Florida a few months ago (July) right after I bought the Edge. Purposely went out driving at night just to smell the ocean air. Reminded me of my younger days in SoCal. -

I took my 8 through the Dragon a couple of years ago. Beautiful ride..wore my ass out but..beautiful. I think if I went though again, but with the Edge, it would definitely be for sightseeing. -

Did you drive here to buy Powerball? -
Another FWD? But with you, it happens at any speed. Does that mean at any speed; 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc...or for any acceleration?
-
While in reverse, if you hear the steady beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, you should probably stop. (you can disable the Park assist in the menu but if you do, you may crash into something behind you)
-
FWD? Damn. I was so hoping it would be AWD. I have a FWD and don't have the problem. Yet. The overdrive issue. 4th or 5th? In between perhaps..while shifting between the two. This may not help but - does it happen when there is a fast acceleration between 4th and 5th? Or just a smooth, slow accerlation? Just trying to pin this down for you.

I've never rode in your brand new Edge. Sorry. Can't help.
-
You beat me to it. I was thinking the same thing. AWD or FWD Dave?
-
I'm glad you like it. That is what counts.

(Bug Zapper) Yes. A very slow day at work.

If it doesn't happen to us, we aren't ignoring it. You can't ignore something that doesn't exist.

_____ - Planners: Buy your Jag and/or Landrover Now!
Good_Hands replied to Good_Hands's topic in Lounge
Oh my. Ok....wait for it... -
Come December - bye, bye. One down (Aston Martin) two, maybe even three (Volvo), to go: Ford plans to get rid (others call it a sale) of its two remaining British premium brands Jaguar and Land Rover until mid-December, the Spanish daily El Mundo reported, citing Ford Europe chairman and CEO John Fleming. "We are well on and in two months at the most we'll know which of the groups interested in the brands will be their new owner," Fleming told El Mundo. When asked if the two British marques could be sold separately, Fleming ruled out the possibility saying: “"No, not really. They are both very integrated and it would be difficult to sell them separately”. As for your next obvious question, Ford is still thinking about what it should do with Volvo. "Volvo is a fundamental partner in the development of safety and environmental technology. It would be very dangerous to hand it over to a competitor," he told El Mundo.

OK. Thank you. I thought I was losing my mind. I see it all the time...even the smallest of inclines/declines..cars rollling. And to quite akirby, "And as poor as the brakes may be (according to some folks) I'm pretty sure they'll hold the vehicle in place when your foot isn't on the accelerator." Soooo...the answer, boys and girls, is... PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN AT A STOP AND IN "D"
-
Glad I could help! That could come in handy when you are standing in front of the judge.
-
Maybe I'm over analyzing this complaint but...or then again, maybe I'm just confused. I know you all aren't saying that automatic transmission vehicles aren't suppose to move if you don't have your foot on the brake. You mention above that the review stated that he "let his roll forward by mistake while testing..." Well, if the car was in drive and his foot wasn't on the brake, of course the car will roll? If I'm on an incline at a red light, and my foot isn't on the brake - and I'm in "D" - my car is going to roll if the incline is angled enough.
-
The speedo will only be off if you change to larger/smaller. If you are using the same size tires that came with the vehicle when you purchased it, then your speedo is fine.
-
Not necessarily. What size tires were on your Edge when you bought it?
-
Wellllll....... Not that much wider. Very little difference. 235/65/17 --- 245/60/18 Section Width 9.25 in --- 9.64 in Overall Diameter 29.02 in --- 29.57 in Sidewall Height 6.01 in --- 5.78 in Radius 14.51 in --- 14.78 in Circumference 91.16 in --- 92.89 in Revs per Mile 716.7 --- 703.4 Actual Speed 60 mph --- 58.8 mph If you want something that has more contact, go with a 275 width.
