Picturepro Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) I should have not watched the review, now I wish I had Sync 3, my Sync 2 will have to do. I wonder if the 2015 steering is the same as the 2016 in review?? http://www.cnet.com/roadshow/videos/2016-ford-edge-sport-steering-like-youve-never-seen-cnet-on-cars-episode-86/ 2016 Ford Edge Sport: Steering like you've never seen (CNET On Cars, Episode 86) The new Ford Edge unveils a new way of steering, Cooley answers your email about flashing lights and high speed frights, and we get a look at why tires should be balls rather than donuts.

omar302 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 The 2016 Edge Sport got the adaptive steering. So it is a bit different than the 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjh Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Interesting. I'd like to see what the adaptive steering feels like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfatz Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 There was some surprising news towards the end of that video. He said that starting in Spring, you can order the Edge with Sync Connect (4G modem and App). Since I'm close to ordering/buying, that was very intriguing to me. I just got off an online chat at the Ford.com build site. They couldn't confirm that information. Does anyone know of a "Spring Refresh" of the 2016 Edge?

That would be interesting to know about the sync connect. I know the 17 escape will be the first one to have it, so I wouldn't expect the edge to get it until after the escape reaches the lots. I'm just guessing though. I wonder if it will come on a "refresh" or if they will just wait for the 17 model of the edge to put it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it will come on a "refresh" or if they will just wait for the 17 model of the edge to put it on I would guess it probably requires a special subscription to say, Verizon or something at some ungodly price per month. I could hope it would be cable of using your smartphone's 4G, but I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knickerbocker Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Sync Connect looks cool, but I'm not sold on the concept. I'm a tech guy, love my toys, but Sync Connect doesn't offer anything truly unique that can't be done with an existing 2015/16 and a few bucks. The only gimmick that'd be nice is the scheduled remote start. But then again, why run the engine when you aren't ready to go? I use remote start in the cold weather, but even with our schedule I'm never leaving the house at exactly the same time every day. I just hit the remote before leaving the house and it's good to go. Also, wi-fi in the car is just another expense. Like a second gas tank that runs on 4G Data. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picturepro Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 wish it had voice commands to fill in address or city or location. Sync2 is slow to hunt and peck on the maps how often do maps get updated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 You can enter an entire address using voice commands on sync 2/mft and sync 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
