Cellbine Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 So I took the Edge out on the autobahn and brought her up to 100mph. Its not a huge deal but I have to say, it never gets old. Handling was solid at that speed and could have easily have pushed it past 100. Was a good little trip. Want to put a side note out there that road conditions were great and traffic was minimal. Obviously driving laws are different in Germany (compared to the States), but what kind of experiences do you have? How do you feel your Edge handles at the top end of the speed limits where you're from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Jealous of the Autobahn, I like pushing it past the speed limits when theres some open road, by a little more than a bit. I think it handles real well, even though I have the first gen. I've noticed that even at freeway speeds (65-70 mph) *unfortunately I don't live with Arizona speed limits* I don't get much pull of drift from the wind so it's easy to keep straight.

carbonedge+ Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 I can actually attest to the stability of an extended run in excess of 100 mph in my '07 Edge. On the entire stretch of I-16 from Savannah to Macon I pushed it up to the 111 MPH max numerous times and held it on several occasions at or above 100 for a while. Never did I feel like it was unstable or loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellbine Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 Glad to hear the Edge is holding strong in the earlier models too. Wanna: Don't be too jealous of the autobahn, it isn't all unlimited like you hear about. I think most people that drive on it cruise at an average of 85mp or so.

Arizona's freeways are similar. Still wish I had those in the midwest, or rather any street that had a section that I never had to worry about my speed.

PrinzII Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 wannabang: Are you in my backyard? Cellbine: Both Edges I owned have seen the century plus mark. The first Gen wasn't bad. It got better when I went to H-Rated tires. The current Edge does feel different than the first Gen but it does need something to sharpen the handling/steering a bit.

wannabang Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Not sure if I scared ya, Prinzll, but I took a vaca out in Scottsdale a couple years back and got to experience those highways on the way up to Page, Sedona, and back. I'll take that recommendation for H-rated rubbers when I get my tires changed out, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitulu Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I have noticed a bit more body lean than my last vehicle, and the seat could use some side bolsters to help keep you in place. Other than that it handles like a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take that recommendation for H-rated rubbers when I get my tires changed out, thanks! Not at all. Just curious. The H-Rated tires did help when it was hot out.

wannabang Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 H-rated for the summer it is, then. Maybe that'll be enough to convince me to get some 22s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sajid.ali Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 (edited) I have tested mine 2013 Edge @ 185km/hr (114.95Mph) in Saudi Arabia. Solid handling and Road Grip. This is the Top Speed i got. Edge didnt go above it, it think speed is locked @185km/hr Edited September 16, 2013 by sajid.ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feirstein Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Are there speed limits in Saudi Arabia or just no police? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabang Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 About the seats, I just wish my cloth was more comfortable. I think it keeps me in place well, but it forces me to kind of hunch my shoulders forward a little, which I don't like much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sajid.ali Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Are there speed limits in Saudi Arabia or just no police? Yes there are Speed Radars + Camera's + Police on highways but normaly they are mount in a vehicle park on one side if the highway and visible from long way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
