fishx65 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I actually liked the looks of your Edge a lot more but I'm sure the Benz is a much nicer vehicle by a long shot. Kinda curious what kind of MPG ya get in the new ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingMike Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) I actually liked the looks of your Edge a lot more but I'm sure the Benz is a much nicer vehicle by a long shot. Kinda curious what kind of MPG ya get in the new ride. I look at it as two completely different things; because really they are. The Edge had a lot more of a mean, vicious look to it as the Mercedes has a much smooth, classier look. The reason I switched was because my extended warranty was coming up, tires were on their way out... Figured if I was going to make a change the time was now. The MPG difference is amazing. With the Benz I get 24 city/32 hwy. It has an i4 2.0 Liter engine but it also has an intercooled Turbo on their handcrafted engine which gives insanely surprising power. With the Edge I filled up once a week, a full tank on the Benz lasts me easily 2 weeks (if I keep it in Eco mode and don't mess around in sport or manual mode) Edited February 23, 2015 by KingMike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hope you kept your watch Good luck with the MB, I am sure it will prove to be a fine vehicle! Though I should note, the Edge IS available with the Ecoboost in 2.0 and soon the 2.7 trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingMike Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) @macbtw "engine which gives insanely surprising power." is actually what I said. And as much as I love Ford (and still own a Cobra), there is a big difference between a Ford engine and hardcrafted Mercedes engine. I've owned my Edge Sport for 3 years and my Mercedes for 4 months now and my Mercedes is noticeably faster than my Edge in Sport mode, let alone manual mode. My friend actually has a 2013 Edge Sport and for fun I asked him to do a run with me and in a length of 4 blocks, I beat him to the end by at least a full car length.

KingMike Posted March 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 @specialk4523 Haha I hear ya man. My girl wasn't thrilled but really at the end of the day I pay my car, she pays hers so she knew there wasn't really much she could do to stop me. And really you've seen me around LI? Haha where?

macbwt Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Great comparison of the GLA with the same class of vehicles, Honda CRV, Ford Escape, subaru forrester. Guess it is a compact suv. http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/video-hub/cars/suvs/5-top-small-suvs-of-2014/14684583001/2396840320001/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
