Cnet review 2016 Edge Sport


Recommended Posts

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??

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

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.

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
