Just upgraded my 2008 limited awd to a 2013 sport awd

I drove a 2008 Edge limited awd since 2010 (bought it with 28k miles on it) and aside from the PTU seal leak which took a while to sort out - it was the best car I have ever owned. It just drove - I kept up on all maintenance and took very good care of it. I really enjoyed that car. I put 90k miles on it and just traded it in for a 2013 Edge Sport AWD. I have drooled over the sport with those 22s and finally have mine. Tuxedo black. I know I will be washing it like crazy lol. Oh well. So far I love the extra power and crisp handling. The ride doesn't feel to rough to me at all - I like how tight it feels. Both cars were loaded (pano roof, premium audio, nav, premium wheels, cold weather package, etc). I think the only difference is no tow hitch on the new Edge. Anyways.. so far so good. 18k miles on the new one. Time for a road trip! :)

Thanks!!! I love this car... I think it's one of the sexiest looking SUVs out there for sure. I know I will be washing this thing a lot but I like detailing stuff. I'm getting an external professional detail (clay bar, polish, wax, the whole gamut) this weekend then will do the upkeep myself from there.

 

I themed MFT today.. lol. Little things are fun. I love the d-pads on the steering wheel. The engine and tranny seem well suited for this car.. It's not ridiculously fast but it gets out of the way of things when you want it. The paddle shifters are fun. Handling is quite nimble for this heavy of a car.

 

RWF - I would be very interesting in seeing your hidden hitch. I need one to connect our bike rack - while it's not a 'must have' now it will be soon with summer on the way.
