J0J0 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I am going to wait a few weeks to do that once I have more miles on it. I have Torque that has a 0-60 component but I have not used it yet. Before I bought my Edge last year, I romped on it. I basically drove it like I stole it, and yes the salesman was in the car with me for the test drive. He and I agreed, that's what the warranty is for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the movie with Tom cruise, when asked about the "renters insurance" on a rental car, sayin oh yes because I am gonna beat the hell out of this thing!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alzakx Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 You should do a 0-60 test now and then another after the engine settles nicely after 5000 miles just to compare. Otherwise you'll never know how the engine settling actually helped or hurt the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tron1974 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Engine shots. I find the engine to be rather small. I wish the battery was a bit more accessible. You can get it out or jump it,but it would take some effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Same as my Fusion. Escape/Focus is even worse. There is a negative battery terminal in the engine compartment next to the positive terminal to make jump starting easier. You don't have to reach the negative terminal itself.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 It does seem quite a bit more compact than previous years' engine bays ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cab2g Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 If it makes you all feel better, my battery is in my trunk under the floor mat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlancer Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I haven't seen any shots in any of the online reviews of the back of the Edge with the cargo area foor up. Is it just 100% spare tire? or is there some storage space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to say 4 of these container bins without going out and looking at it. I will do so tomorrow. I have baby duty at the moment.

cv27 Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Nice ! Big enough to keep most of the valuable stuff you want out of sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACKIE Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Can you tell me the end of your VIN? Mine is about 34000. I know they aren't delivered exactly in VIN sequence, but I'm still curious. All I have so far is the VIN, no built date yet or window sticker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv27 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Mine is 295xx, scheduled build date April 13th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cv27 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Certainly one of the lowest I've ever seen! A lot of discussion around "doc fee". I haven't seen this in Canada, at least not under that labeling. What is it exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz118 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 A lot of discussion around "doc fee". I haven't seen this in Canada, at least not under that labeling. What is it exactly? From Google search. Documentation Fees: Dealerships charge car buyers a documentation fee, or "doc fee," to cover the cost of preparing and filing the sales contract and other paperwork. In some states, the doc fee is limited by state law. In other states where doc fees are unregulated, dealerships may sell a car at an attractive price but then add a high doc fee to the contract.

akirby Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 A lot of discussion around "doc fee". I haven't seen this in Canada, at least not under that labeling. What is it exactly? It's just Additional Dealer Profit. They tack it on at the end of the sale as a "standard fee" which most buyers just accept not realizing it's completely negotiable. It can range from $75 to $700. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACKIE Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Thanks for your VIN, cv27. Please explain 'build date' to me--is it production beginning or ending date or delivery date to dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnetic Edge Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks for your VIN, cv27. Please explain 'build date' to me--is it production beginning or ending date or delivery date to dealer? Build date is the day the completed vehicle rolls off the end of the line.

trsundstrom Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I took delivery of my Sport on Monday. It's all good, as I commented elsewhere. I did take photos as requested. There are too many and too large to post here. See them by looking in my public Dropbox folder. HTH. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s7qrwfqfgl2deqa/AAAHRqxXmEG29ld8KtHTfUMta?dl=0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured if the weather is that bad, we don't have to go anywhere. But why is it going to be a rare combo? Curious minds... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ono Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 I read Ford is considering rolling their new performance torque vectoring AWD system, upcoming in the Focus RS, to additional vehicles. It sounds like it would be apt for the Edge Sport. Acura has their SH-AWD in their MDX (updated on the 2016). Honda has announced a similar sounding system for their new Pilot 9maybe the MDX's previous version). Hyundai is starting to promote brake based torque vectoring as helping dynamics. Doesn't the 2015 Edge AWD perform some vectoring via the brake system? Will we see the Focus RS system on the Edge Sport? 2016 model?
